- England have lost only one of their last 10 men's Test matches against New Zealand on home soil (W8, D1); however, that loss was their most recent such meeting (199 runs at Headingley, May 2015).
- England are unbeaten in their last four men's Test series against New Zealand on home soil (W3 D1); the last time the Black Caps won a men's Test series against England away was in 1999 (2-1).
- England have lost just one of their 17 men's Test matches against New Zealand at Lord's (W8, D8), a nine-wicket defeat in July 1999.
- England have lost just one of their last seven men's Test matches on home soil (W4, D2), a four-wicket defeat against West Indies at The Ageas Bowl in July 2020.
- New Zealand have won their last six men's Test matches, their longest winning run in this format.
- Since the start of 2020, New Zealand have a catch success rate of 78.9% in men's Test cricket, the second best of any team in that time (Afghanistan – 83.3%).
- New Zealand's Kane Williamson needs just 58 runs to become the second highest run-scorer for the Black Caps in men's Test cricket; Ross Taylor (7,379) and Stephen Fleming (7,172) are the only New Zealanders to have scored more runs than Williamson (7,115) in this format.
- Since the start of 2020, England's Joe Root has scored 1,258 runs at an average of 54.7 in men's Test cricket; his tally of runs is 414 more than any other player during this period.
- New Zealand's Kyle Jamieson has a bowling strike rate of 33.3 in men's Test cricket since the beginning of 2020; only two players (min. 50 overs bowled) have a better rate in that time (Hasan Ali – 25.8 and Axar Patel – 28.3).
- James Anderson (160) is one away from equalling Alastair Cook (161) as the most-capped player for England in the history of men's Test cricket; Anderson's bowling strike rate against New Zealand in Tests (49.2) is only bettered by his record against Zimbabwe (34.9).
