- Bangladesh's total of 638 is their highest in Tests, and the first time they topped 600 - their previous best was 556 against West Indies in Mirpur in 2012, in a match they eventually lost by 77 runs. The 196 overs they batted is also their most by far - their next best is 153.3. Their total is the seventh highest by any side against Sri Lanka.
