Angelo Mathews hit his 12th century as Sri Lanka made steady progress on day one of the opening test against Bangladesh, reaching 258-4 on Sunday.
At stumps, Mathews was batting on 114 with Dinesh Chandimal on 34.
Kusal Mendis scored 54 and accompanied Mathews in a 92-run partnership in a third-wicket stand that set the pace for the match.
Sri Lanka captain Dimuth Karunaratne won the toss and opted to bat first on a pitch that appeared to be flat.
But Karunaratne himself struggled against Bangladesh offspinner Nayeem Hasan, who returned figures of 2-71 after playing his first test since February last year.
Nayeem eventually had the tourists' skipper out leg-before for nine with a quicker delivery to leave Sri Lanka wobbling at 23-1.
But Oshada Fernando found the boundaries at regular intervals to keep Bangladesh fielders busy. His confidence grew and culminated with him hitting left-arm spinner Taijul Islam for six.
