Weather continued to hamper play in the match New Zealand must win to level the series after the hosts won the opener in Galle by six wickets.
Only 29.3 overs of play was possible after Sri Lanka resumed their innings on 85 for two but it was enough for the New Zealand seamers to make inroads into their opponents’ batting.
Trent Boult picked up two wickets in an over to strike early while Tim Southee repeated the act later to put the touring side on top.
Captain Dimuth Karunaratne’s 65 was the top score for the hosts who had Dhananjaya de Silva unbeaten on 32 and Dilruwan Perera five not out when rain forced the players off the ground.
Sri Lanka would have been in more trouble if Boult had managed to hold on to a simple caught-and-bowled chance from de Silva with the batsman on nine.
