A commanding 162-run knock by Tillakaratne Dilshan allowed Sri Lanka to recover from a shaky start against Bangladesh and reach a healthy score at stumps on day one of the second Test.
Dilshan enjoyed century stands with Malinda Warnapura (63) and Chamara Kapugedera as the tourists hit back from a precarious 75 for four to post 371 for six at the close in Chittagong.
The right-hander was eventually bowled by Enamul Haque Jr shortly before the end of play, but Kapugedera was unbeaten on 93 and will be looking to add his own century to the scoreboard when the contest resumes on Sunday morning.
Things had looked very different for Sri Lanka earlier in the day when Bangladesh, who are 1-0 down in the two-Test series, reduced their opponents to 65 for three at lunch.
Mashrafe Mortaza was the pick of the Bangladesh attack, claiming two for 48 from 20 overs.
