In Sri Lanka's innings, Mahela Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara (who made 287) shared a partnership worth 622 for the third wicket, a new world record in first class cricket for any wicket. Jayawardene eventually made the highest score by a Sri Lankan in Test cricket.

The last time South Africa followed on was in April 2005, when responding to the Windies 543/6d they mustered just 188, the match was eventually drawn after South Africa stubbornly held out for 161 overs.

Windies did have the chance to enforce the follow-on in December 2007 after South Africa found themselves 213 in arrears at Port Elizabeth but captain Chris Gayle declined the opportunity.

The last time England enforced the follow-on against South Africa was in December 1999 when 7/46 by Andrew Caddick handed England an 210-run first innings advantage. However second time around South Africa batted for 209.2 overs, Gary Kirsten playing an epic innings of 275 which lasted 878 minutes.
