Stat highlights: Woakes registers highest score for No. 8

The first One-Day International (ODI) between England and Sri Lanka ended in a thrilling last-ball tie and the series locked at 0-0 with four games left to be played. Sri Lanka posted a competitive 286 thanks to their captain Angelo Mathews's 73 and Seekkuge Prasanna's 28-ball cameo of 59 after being 59 for three inside the first Powerplay. England had an even worse start losing half of the side for just 72 runs on the board before an enterprising seventh-wicket stand between Jos Buttler and Chris Woakes. It came down to the last ball of the game, bowled by Nuwan Pradeep, with England needing six to tie and seven to post a win. Liam Plunkett duly obliged with a long-on six for the first-ever tied match between England and Sri Lanka in 65 head-to-head encounters.
Statistical highlights from the first ODI from Nottingham:
24 Balls taken by Seekkuge Prasanna to reach his fifty. It is the joint sixth-fastest half-century for Sri Lanka in ODIs and second-fastest against England after Thisara Perera's 23-ball effort in Colombo (RPS) in December 2014.
1 Prasanna became the first Sri Lankan to score two fifties in less than 25 balls and he did it in consecutive matches. He scored a 23-ball fifty in their last ODI against Ireland three days ago in Dublin, Brendon McCullum is the only one to score fifties off less than 25 balls in consecutive ODIs before Prasanna.
94.91 Percentage of Prasanna's runs that came in boundaries. Eight fours and four sixes i.e. 56 runs out of 59. It is the highest percentage of runs in boundaries in an innings for a Sri Lankan batsman in ODIs and joint fourth highest overall (minimum 50 runs).
73 by Angelo Mathews is his highest ODI score in England. Th captain went past his previous best of 62 at Old Trafford in 2011. Overall it is his third fifty in England in 15 games.
286/9 is Sri Lanka's highest total in ODIs at Trent Bridge and eighth-highest in England. The previous highest was 258 against South Africa in 1998.
9 Runs scored by the England top-three in this match, the lowest by them in an ODI against Sri Lanka. The previous lowest was 14 in Dambulla in 2003.
138 Seventh-wicket partnership between Jos Buttler and Chris Woakes. It is the second highest for seventh wicket in ODI history after 177 by Buttler and Adil Rashid against New Zealand at Edgbaston in 2015.
