- Australia are unbeaten in their last three men’s Ashes Test series (W2 D1) having won both of the two series with an identical scoreline of 4-0; the last time England won such a series was in 2015 when the Three Lions hosted the current WTC champions (3-2 win for England).
- Australia are unbeaten in each of their last five men’s Test matches against England (W4 D1), with the Baggy Greens winning the last game between the two sides by a margin of 146 runs in January 2022; the last time they lost to England was at the Oval in September 2019 – lost by 135 runs.
- This will be the 16th men’s Test fixture between England and Australia at the Edgbaston; England have won six of those fixtures (D5 L4) although Australia won the most recent meeting between the two teams at the venue – by 251 runs in August 2019.
- England have won two of their last three men’s Tests against Australia played in England (L1) with the sole victory for the Baggy Greens in that term coming at Old Trafford, Manchester in September 2019 – by 185 runs.
- England have a win percentage of 54% in men’s Tests played at the Edgbaston Stadium, Birmingham, their highest such aggregate in any home ground (min. 10 Tests).
- England batters have struck a boundary once every 14.2 deliveries in men’s Test cricket since the start of 2020, the best of all teams; Australia are fifth in the list having struck at a rate of 15.8.
- England bowlers have dismissed top order batters (1-3) of their opposition team via dismissal type bowled 30 times since the beginning of 2020, the joint-most of any team (also India); Australia have registered 23 such wickets during the same period.
- Steven Smith (8947 runs) is 53 away from becoming just the fourth Australian batter and 17th overall to get to 9000 runs in men’s Test cricket; he averages 59.7 with the bat against England, only against West Indies (150.4) and India (65.9) does he have a better such rate in the format.
- Jonny Bairstow (199) is one dismissal away from registering his 200th dismissal as wicketkeeper in Tests thus becoming the fifth England keeper and 19th overall to achieve the milestone; he recorded three dismissals each in both innings in his last match against Ireland earlier this month.
- Ben Stokes has a win percentage of 79% as a skipper in men’s Tests, the highest rate for any England skipper in the format (min. 10 games captained); he (194 wickets and 5712 runs) is also six dismissals away from becoming just the second English player after Ian Botham (383 wickets and 5200 runs) to log 5000+ runs and bag 200 wickets in the format.
