3 stumpings in Sri Lankan’s innings.

Three stumpings while trying to save a game is perhaps three too many. #SLvPAK

First time ever that Sri Lanka have 3 batsmen out stumped in a Test innings! #SLvPak

Pakistan was in a hurry.

Pakistan's run-rate 8.11 is the highest in an innings by any team in all time Test history (min 10 overs). #SLvPAK

Yasir Shah recorded decent number of stats with the game.

Yasir Shah is the 2nd spin-bowler from Pakistan after Tauseef Ahmed (at Kandy 1986) to claim 6 wkt in an inns in Tests in Sri Lanka. #SLvPAK

Yasir Shah 7/76 is the 2nd best bowling by a Pakistani against SL in an inns in Tests – best is Imran Khan's 8/58 at Lahore in 1982. #SLvPAK

Yasir Shah 7/76 – best Test bowling by a leggie in Sri Lanka
The previous best 7/94 by Shane Warne v Pakistan (not SL) in 2002#SLvPak

Pakistan is now the Asian team with most Test wins.

This is Pakistan's 123rd win in Tests, most by an Asian team. India has 122, Sri Lanka 71 and Bangladesh 7. #SLvPak

Well played Pakistan.

Pakistan is the first ever visiting team to win a Test match in Sri Lanka by a 10-wicket margin. #SLvPAK

Great win by Pakistan. Never easy to win Test at Galle, which is Sri Lanka's most successful home venue. #SLvPak
