The Sri Lankan seamers shared eight wickets to vindicate captain Angelo Mathews's decision to bowl after winning the toss as Bangladesh were shot out for 232 on the opening day of the first Test in Dhaka on Monday.
Sri Lanka, in reply, reached 60 for no loss when stumps were drawn with Dimuth Karunaratne 28 not out and Kaushal Silva unbeaten on 30.
Earlier, Shaminda Eranga picked up four wickets and new-ball partner Suranga Lakmal claimed three. Mathews took the other wicket to fall to the pacemen.
