Match notes

  • Day 2
  • Crawley and Fraser's partnership beats the previous record for England v Sri Lanka (40, between Malcolm and Emburey in 1993).
  • Day 3
  • When de Silva reached 23, he became the first Sri Lankan to reach 5000 Test runs
  • de Silva and Jayasuriya's stand of 243 was the highest for any Sri Lankan wicket against England, or for their third wicket against any country.

  • UDU Chandana substituted for PA de Silva
  • MS Atapattu scored his 1000th Test run
  • Muralitharan took his 200th Test wicket when he dismissed Cork
  • Muralitharan's 9/65 was the best bowling in Tests by a Sri Lankan, and the 7th best analysis of all time in Tests
