Nope. How often do our batsmans get a chance to pile up runs? Just keep batting as long as we possibly can. No need to declare and let SL bat again. Gazi will end up having to bowl lots of over. I would rather just keep the SL players out in the field as long as possible. We will get a lot of confidence from this, if we can bat out 3+ days. That's a huge achievement for us.
