Match Facts
  • Dilruwan Perera (Sri Lanka) dismissed England's Ben Stokes five times in six attempts when these sides last faced off in Sri Lanka; the joint-most times the Englishman has been out to a bowler in a single Test series (level with Ashwin – five times in 2016).
  • Ben Foakes (England) registered more runs than any other batsman during the most recent Test series in Sri Lanka between these two sides (277); he comes into this match having averaged just 26.1 across his 23 County Championship innings in 2019.
  • Keaton Jennings (England) has recorded both of his Test centuries in Asia, claiming those two tons in just 10 Test innings in the continent; he has averaged just 17.3 in 22 knocks outside Asia.
  • Ahead of this fixture, England have managed to win three away men's Test matches in succession – victory in this fixture would equal their longest such run since recording seven consecutive away victories between 1911 and 1914.
  • Sri Lanka have managed to register six wins in their last eight men's Test matches at Galle International Stadium (L2) and have only lost twice across their eight most recent outings in the format overall (W4 D2).
  • Galle International Stadium in Sri Lanka has hosted five men's Tests between England and the host nation, the tourists only have one victory there; it did come in the most recent fixture between the sides though (D2 L2).
  • Sri Lanka have not beaten England in a men's Test match since June 2014; they are enduring a six-match winless run against them (D1 L5), England have won the toss in each of the last five such encounters.
  • England registered a 3-1 series win in South Africa in their most recent men's Test series (2019/20), they have not recorded consecutive series victories on the road since 2010 (v Bangladesh and Australia).
  • Sri Lanka head into this match having recorded victory in a two-game men's Test series versus Zimbabwe (1-0); they haven't won successive Test series since 2016 (v Australia and Zimbabwe).
  • England claimed a 3-0 whitewash victory in their last men's Test series in Sri Lanka (2018); they are looking to record back-to-back series victories in the country for the first time.
