West Indies dominated the first Test with Chris Gayle scoring a career best 333 in their 580 for nine declared. Shillingford then took four wickets to help bowl the hosts out for 378.
Sri Lanka captain Kumar Sangakkara said he felt his batsmen would be better placed in Colombo having had their first look at Shillingford.
“He's got a lot of variation and bounce but I thought our guys played him for the first time pretty well,” Sangakkara said.
