Resuming on 5-217, Tillakaratne Dilshan added only four runs to his overnight score of 58 before getting a top edge to Fidel Edwards and being caught behind by Denesh Ramdin.
Chaminda Vaas contributed only one before he too was snapped up by the wicketkeeper in the following over, becoming the first of Daren Powell's two victims.
Thushara faced 21 balls but, like Vaas, could only manage a single run. He was run out attempting a second run by Sarwan in the 55th over.
The next over saw the departure of Muttiah Muralitharan, who had smashed the first two balls he faced to the boundary but then holed out to Dwayne Bravo at third man off Powell from the third.
Silva, who was dropped on 33 by Devon Smith at second slip on Thursday evening, survived another scare after completing his second Test half-century when he was put down by Jerome Taylor on 70.
Chamara Silva (76), who began the day on 37, was the only Sri Lankan to offer any resistance as his team-mates came and went cheaply.
Taylor's spell was brought to a premature end in his 18th over when he was told by umpire Billy Bowden that he was not allowed to bowl anymore in the innings after bowling a beamer at Silva.
Silva was the last man to fall when he was caught at deep square leg by Powell off the bowling of Bravo, leaving Ishara Amerasinghe unbeaten on nought.
Sri Lanka picked up six wickets in the final session to leave West Indies at 268 for seven at stumps on the second day of the second Test in Port of Spain.
Chris Gayle (45), Sewnarine Chattergoon (46), Ramnaresh Sarwan (57) and Devon Smith (47) all made healthy contributions as the hosts chipped away at the tourists' total of 278 on a rain-affected day in Trinidad, but the Sri Lanka attack made sure no batsman developed their start.
