It has been a Test to remember for Jonny Bairstow so far as he ended the innings 167 not out, while Chris Woakes nabbed a half-century, eventually falling to Rangana Herath for 66.
England began the day on 279-6, but they were eventually bowled out before tea as Stuart Broad (14), Steven Finn (7) and James Anderson (4) added to the run total.
In reply, Karunaratne and Silva had a strong partnership as they racked up 108 runs before the former fell after hitting 50 off 101 deliveries.
Steven Finn took the wicket, but Broad and Woakes failed in 10 overs each, while Moeen Ali could not find a breakthrough in eight and Anderson's dry spell in Sri Lanka's innings stretched to 11 overs.
Silva and Kusal Mendis (25*) will continue Sri Lanka's attack at the crease tomorrow.
