- Pakistan are looking for their first men's Test series victory on the road against England since 1996; their record stands at drawn three and lost two since that tour.
- England have failed to win any of their last four men's Test series versus Pakistan (D2 L2); their 3-1 victory at home in 2010 was their most recent success against the men in green.
- England have not lost a home men's Test series since 2014 (v Sri Lanka); they have enjoyed a 12-series unbeaten run in England and Wales (W8 D4 - includes one-off game against Ireland in 2019).
- England are currently enjoying a five-match winning streak in Tests under Joe Root's captaincy; they have never put together a longer such run during his reign as skipper.
- Pakistan come into this series having put together a three-game unbeaten run in men's Test match cricket (W2, D1); they had tasted six defeats on the spin immediately beforehand.
- England have tasted just one defeat in their last 14 men's Test matches at Old Trafford (W11, D2), seeing off West Indies in both of their encounters at the Manchester venue last month.
- Pakistan have lost each of their last six men's Test matches when they haven't played on home soil or in the United Arab Emirates; they lost both of their matches in Australia by innings margins over the winter, their most recent tour.
- Stuart Broad became only the fourth seamer to claim 500 Test wickets (Anderson, McGrath & Walsh) during his last outing; he's picked up 25 wickets in this format so far in 2020, doing so at an average of 13.9.
- James Anderson requires 11 wickets to become the first seamer to reach 600 Test wickets; he's taken his 63 wickets versus Pakistan at an average of just 18.6, the best rate among the 14 men to pick up 50+ dismissals against them.
- Babar Azam has been responsible for 22% of Pakistan's total Test runs since 2019 (759/3,488); the highest share any man has recorded for a side in that time.
