- England will be looking to avoid back-to-back defeats in men’s Tests at home for the first time since July 2008, following their two-wicket loss to Australia last time out.
- Australia are undefeated in their last four men’s Tests away from home (W3, D1) and have won each of their last two; the last time they recorded a longer unbeaten run in such fixtures was a 10-match span from September 2005 to October 2008 (W7, D3).
