Herath's bunny, and Silva's 300-ball stay

7 Times Azhar Ali has been dismissed by Rangana Herath, more than by any other bowler. Each of the six batsmen whom Herath has dismissed most often in Tests are from Pakistan, with Misbah-ul-Haq leading the list (nine times).

14 Years since a Sri Lanka opener has faced 300-plus balls in a home Test. Kaushal Silva faced exactly 300 balls in the first innings to score 125 runs. The last time this happened was also in Galle, when Marvan Atapattu scored 201 off 536 balls, against England in 2001.

4 Instances in the last 10 years of both Pakistan openers being dismissed for single-digit scores against Sri Lanka. Three of those four instances have happened in Galle - in 2009, 2014 and 2015.

1087 Runs scored by Silva as a Test opener, making him only the 10th Sri Lankan opener to score 1000 runs. He went past his mark during his innings of 125 in the first innings. Silva's batting average of 43.48 as an opener is the best for any Sri Lankan (min. 1000 runs).

300 Sri Lanka's first-innings score, their lowest in a home Test against Pakistan in the last five years. This is Sri Lanka's sixth home Test against Pakistan in this period, and they have not suffered a single loss in the previous five.

3 Consecutive scores of less than 20 for Angelo Mathews in 2015. He has scored 15, 8 and 19 in his three Test innings in 2015. Mathews had 12 consecutive 20-plus scores before that (all in 2014) and scored 1160 runs from 20 innings in 2014 at an average of 77.33, including two hundreds and eight fifties.

33 Runs that Pakistan need to score to avoid the follow-on. They are currently 118 for 5, with the revised follow-on mark set at 151. Since this is effectively a four-day game as rain washed out the first day, Sri Lanka can enforce the follow-on if they have a lead of 150 runs after Pakistan's first innings has ended, as opposed to the usual 200.
