- Australia have won two of their last three men’s Tests against England (L1), including a nine-wicket win in the first match of this Ashes series; they will be aiming for back-to-back victories over them for the first time since August 2019.
- Australia have won five of their last six men’s Tests against England at the Adelaide Oval (L1), including each of their last two; their only defeat in that span was an innings & 71-run loss in December 2010.
- England are winless in their last 11 men’s Tests in Australia (D1, L10); only once have they recorded a longer winless run in the country (12 matches – D2, L10 from January 1937 to February 1951).
- Australia have won all eight of their day/night men’s Test matches, the most by any side and the only team with a 100% winning record; England have lost each of their last three games in this format, after winning their only fixture prior (August 2017 v West Indies).
- England have made 14 run outs when fielding in men’s Tests since the beginning of 2019, more than any other side and five more than Australia (9).
- Australia has a batting strike rate of 56.3 in men’s Tests since the beginning of 2019, the best of any team in that time; England have logged a rate of 51 in this category.
- Joe Root (23) is one away from recording the outright second most hundreds for England in men’s Tests (Kevin Pietersen – 23); he has scored six centuries in the format in 2021, the joint-most by an England player in a calendar year (Denis Compton – 6 in 1947 and Michael Vaughan – 6 in 2002).
- Marnus Labuschagne (1,959) is 41 away from reaching 2,000 runs in men’s Tests for Australia; if he achieves the milestone in his next innings (34*) he’d be the third fastest Australian to reach it (Sir Donald Bradman – 22 and Michael Hussey – 33).
- Mark Wood (England) has bowled 42% of his deliveries on the back of a length in men’s Tests since the beginning of 2019, the highest rate of any player in that time (min. 40 overs bowled); he’s taken 11 wickets via this length.
- David Warner (Australia) has a batting average of 164.5 facing spin in men’s Tests since the beginning of 2019, the second best of any player in that time (Mohammad Rizwan – 284).
