De Silva and Dinesh Chandimal put together an unbeaten 188-run partnership for the sixth wicket to thwart the Australian bowling attack after Sri Lanka were reduced to 26 for five while batting first in the third Test.
De Silva continued his gritty innings by reaching 116 at close, with strong support from Chandimal batting on 64. De Silva's 240-ball stay was laced with 16 fours while Chandimal hit four boundaries.
