- Sri Lanka have now lost back-to-back Test matches on home soil against England for the first time since 2001 - they have never lost three straight Test matches on home soil to England.
- England have never played a Test match at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium - they did play two ODI matches at the ground earlier this year, winning on each occasion.
- Sri Lanka have recorded just one Test victory at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, that win coming against Australia in 2016 - this is their worst record at any home ground since the turn of the century.
- England will be out to win a fourth-straight Test win for the first time since July 2013; they have not won back-to-back Tests away from home since December 2012 (vs India).
- Sri Lanka have passed 300 runs in an innings on home soil just once in 2018 (six innings so far) - last year, they notched up six innings totals in excess of 300 (12 innings total).
- England will secure only their second Test series win on the road in their last 10 attempts if they managed to record victory in this match (D3 L5).
- England's Keaton Jennings now averages 71.8 runs away from home, with two centuries and one fifty - his Test averages in England is just 17.7 runs, he's never passed 50 on home soil.
- Sri Lanka's Rangana Herath (20) has taken the most wickets at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium and has the best economy figures for a bowler with a minimum of three wickets at the ground (2.1).
- Sri Lanka's Angelo Mathews is just 99 runs away from reaching 3,000 Test runs on Sri Lankan soil, a mark that has been reached by just five other cricketers.
- Stuart Broad is two wickets away from 7th in the all-time list (currently Kapil Dev, 434) although the Englishman is currently tied on 433 with Rangana Herath; Broad did miss out on selection for the 1st Test however.
