- This will be the second men’s T20I at Headingley in Leeds; England defeated Pakistan by 45 runs in the inaugural fixture (18 July 2021) after batting first on the day.
- England have a catch success rate of 91.4% (53/58) in men’s T20Is since the beginning of 2023, the best of any Test playing country in that time; indeed, their five dropped catch attempts is four fewer than the next best team in this category (West Indies – 9).

- Phil Salt has scored 28.6% of England’s runs when he’s played in men’s T20Is since the beginning of 2023, the best rate of any player for a Test playing country in that time (min. 2 innings); in fact, teammate Jonny Bairstow (27.2%) is ranked second in this category.
