Did you know?

The record for most centuries in a Test is eight. It has happened twice, most recently in the Galle Test between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh in March 2013, when five Sri Lankans and three Bangladeshis scored tons. The only other instance was in Antigua between West Indies and South Africa, 2005.
