- England have won their last two bilateral men's Test series versus Sri Lanka; they are attempting to record three successive victories against them for the first time.
- England beat Sri Lanka 3-0 when they last toured the country in this format (2018), Joe Root's side are looking to register back-to-back men's Test series wins there for the very first time; England are currently enjoying a six-game unbeaten streak versus Sri Lanka in men's Test cricket (W5 D1).
- Sri Lanka come into this series having only mustered one win in their last seven men's Test matches (D2 L4); they have just suffered a 2-0 series defeat against the Proteas, losing the opener by an innings margin before slumping to a 10-wicket loss in the second match of the series in South Africa.
- Sri Lanka have only lost once in five men's Test matches versus England at Galle International Stadium (W2 D2), the most recent meeting between the sides at the venue was won by the tourists, however (November 2018); none of Sri Lanka's last 11 men's Test games at Galle International Stadium have ended in a draw.
- England have won each of their last three multi-game bilateral men's Test series, seeing off South Africa, West Indies and Pakistan; it is their longest winning run since putting together a string of six series victories between 2010 and 2011.
- Sri Lanka have only managed to get the umpire's decision overturned in 23% of their referrals in men's Tests since the start of 2019, only Australia (22%) have a lower rate; England possess a share of 31% across that period.
- England's last men's Test series (v Pakistan in August 2020) saw them record 12 dropped catches whilst their opponents only registered three; two of those three drops recorded by Pakistan were hard chances, none were easy (one medium) whilst none of the 12 logged by England were hard (six easy and six medium).
- Despite making his Test debut in Sri Lanka over 13 years ago, Stuart Broad has only played three Test matches in the country, he has only picked up three wickets there (averaging 83); he is six scalps away from going above Courtney Walsh (519) and into sixth in the list of all-time leading men's Test wicket-takers.
- Jonny Bairstow (England) has posted a Test ton in three of England's four 1st innings when they have selected him against Sri Lanka; he has not played in the format since 2019, he could only average 18.6 in 19 knocks during that calendar year.
- Dimuth Karunaratne has averaged 66 on home soil for Sri Lanka in Tests since 2018 (14 innings); he comes into this game having registered a century in his last Test knock, posting that ton earlier this month in South Africa.
