Naseem struck twice in the opening session with his express pace to return figures of 3-58.

His bouncer to debutant Dunith Wellalage saw the left-hander caught at second slip for 11 after attempting to evade the ball, which took his glove.

Ramesh Mendis made a useful cameo of 35 before being bowled by Yasir, who took two wickets to wrap up the Sri Lankan innings in the morning session.

Opener Oshada Fernando (50), Dinesh Chandimal (80) and Mathews (42) hit key knocks on Sunday after the hosts, who trail the two-match series 1-0, elected to bat first.
