  • 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.

  • Muralitharan's 9/65 was the best bowling in Tests by a Sri Lankan, and the 7th best analysis of all time in Tests
