Lahiru Udara reached 60 not out as Sri Lanka recovered from 25-2 and built pressure on a West Indies attack missing Kemar Roach.
On Friday, Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bat in the second and final test against the West Indies, with Shai Hope returning after injury and Kemar Roach ruled out due to a hamstring niggle.
The West Indies enter seeking a series victory after winning the first game by an innings and 217 runs, their first World Test Championship win in eight matches.
Sri Lanka reached 99-2 at lunch, led by Lahiru Udara's unbeaten 60 off 71 balls with Kamindu Mendis contributing 30 from 42 balls.
Shamar Joseph took early wickets of Nishan Madushka and Dinesh Chandimal to leave Sri Lanka at 25-2 inside the first hour, though Justin Greaves later dropped a catch.
Captain Roston Chase elected to bowl first on a pitch with a tinge of grass, while Sri Lanka made three lineup changes including Prabath Jayasuriya and Kasun Rajitha.
