There was disappointment for the home fans as Mahela Jayawardene, in his 149th and final Test, was dismissed for only four.

Sri Lanka were 69 without loss at lunch and 162-2 at the tea interval but lost a flurry of wickets in the final session with seamer Junaid Khan picking up four wickets.

He ended a 79-run opening partnership by having Kaushal Silva caught behind for 41 before key man Kumar Sangakkara was bowled off an inside edge by Wahab Riaz for 22.

The home fans were left silent as 37-year-old Jayawardene, who was given a guard of honour on his way to the crease, was trapped LBW by Saeed Ajmal.

The previous highest was Mahela Jayawardene's 983 runs as captain in 2006. Mathews is the second batsman this year to score 1000 runs in Tests this year after Kumar Sangakkara.
  • 9 Number of times Saeed Ajmal has dismissed Jayawardene in Tests, which is the most any bowler has dismissed him. Jayawardene has hit 224 runs off Ajmal in 20 innings at an average of 24.88 per dismissal. For Ajmal too, this is the most he has dismissed any batsman in Tests.
  • 2006 The last time Jayawardene and Sangakkara both failed to score at least 30 in an innings in Tests at the SSC, Colombo, before this one. The last such instance also came against Pakistan, when Mohammad Asif and Umar Gul had the hosts reeling at 26 for 4 in the first innings of the Test.
  • 2007 The last time before this Test eight or more wickets fell in the first day's play at the SSC, Colombo. On that occasion, Sri Lanka bowled out Bangladesh for just 89 runs after asking them to bat first. The hosts lost three wickets before the close of play, taking the wickets tally to 13 on day one. Since then, teams have averaged 48.9 runs per wicket on the first day at this venue as opposed to 32.6 in this Test.
  • 11 Number of Sri Lanka openers who have got out in the nineties in Tests including Upul Tharanga in this Test. Including Tharanga's, the last three such instances have come against Pakistan.
