- England would register their longest run of men's bilateral series win against Sri Lanka with a win at The Oval on Thursday having already won the previous two such series in (2016 & 2018).
- England have won each of their last five completed ODIs at the Oval having last suffered a defeat to New Zealand in June 2015; meanwhile Sri Lanka have won just one of their last five matches at the venue (L4), with the sole win coming against India at the 2017 Champions Trophy.
- Sri Lanka are currently winless in their last nine away multigame bilateral men's ODI series, having last won such series in June 2016 against Sri Lanka; this is their longest such run since November 1994 (11 series).
- By losing the first game against England, Sri Lanka have equaled India as the side to lose most matches in men's ODIs (427); the Lions have also equaled Ireland as the side to lose most games this year (6).
- England have scored 52.3% of their runs from boundaries in men's ODIs since 2019, the best rate of any Test-playing nation in that time; meanwhile Sri Lanka have the second worst (42.9%).
- No other team has been dismissed via run outs in men's ODIs since the start of this year than Sri Lanka (7), at least three more than next team on the list (Bangladesh, Ireland, Netherlands).
- Chris Woakes (England) bowled five maidens in the first ODI against Sri Lanka (10-5-18-4); only James Anderson (6 maidens vs Australia, 2003) has bowled more for the Three Lions in a 50-over ODI game.
- Only Mustafizur Rahman (Bangladesh) has scalped more men's ODI wickets (15) in 2021 than Dushmantha Chameera (14 wickets), the Sri Lankan pacer averages 18.2 in the six innings he has bowled this year.
- Enroute to his unbeaten 79, Joe Root (England) became the joint-fourth fastest batsman to 6000 ODI runs by achieving the feat in 141 innings; he also became the second Englishman to score that many runs in the format after Eoin Morgan (6882).
- For any bowler to have bowled a minimum of 100 balls in the last bilateral men’s ODI series played between England and Sri Lanka in England, Chris Woakes maintained a dot ball rate of 49.3%, the most in the series; he recorded 79% of dot ball percentage in the first ODI having bowled 49 dots in the game, the most by any bowler.
