COLOMBO, July 12 (Reuters) - Sri Lanka seized control of the second test on Sunday by bowling Pakistan out for 90, the tourists' lowest total against Sri Lanka.

Seamer Nuwan Kulasekara was the chief destroyer, triggering the collapse with the new ball and finishing with four for 21 from nine overs.

Spinner Ajantha Mendis finished off the innings, scything through the lower order to claim three for 20 from 10 overs. Sri Lanka needed just 36 overs to bowl out Pakistan.

Former captain Shoaib Malik was the only batsman to offer resistance, scoring an unbeaten 39.

Sri Lanka, with skipper Kumar Sangakkara unbeaten on 81, replied strongly to finish on 164 for three, a lead of 74.
