Team news - Rathnayake and Peiris come into Sri Lanka XI

Despite their win, Sri Lanka have made two changes to their XI. Milan Rathnayake, who was impressive with bat and ball on his debut tour in England, has been included in the XI in place of Lahiru Kumara, who did not take a wicket in the first Test. They have also dropped Ramesh Mendis, who at times lacked control in the first Test. In his place, they have named a debutant in Nishan Peiris, another offspinner, aged 27. He has 172 first-class wickets at an average of 24.37 in only 41 matches ✍️🌹🌿

Stats and trivia

Two of Ajaz Patel's five career five-wicket hauls have come in Galle. He averages 22.35 at the venue.

Roy Dias was the fastest Sri Lanka batter to 1000 Test runs, getting there in 23 innings. Kamindu has 822 runs from 12 knocks so far.🌿✍️💋

Prabath Jayasuriya has an outside shot of becoming the equal-fastest to 100 Test wickets in the game's history, if he gets 12 wickets in this match. The only bowler to get there in 16 matches was George Lohmann, who achieved the feat way back in 1896. Of Jayasuriya's 88 wickets, 62 have come in Galle.🤠💋

Good luck Prabhat Jayasurya
