- England have won each of their last three multigame men's Test series against South Africa, after winning only one of their six such series prior against the Proteas (D2, L3).
- England defeated South Africa by 211 runs the last time they met in a men's Test at Lord's (July 2017), snapping a six-match winless run against the Proteas at the venue (D2, L4); they will be aiming for back-to-back wins in such fixtures for the first time since June 1960.
- South Africa have lost only one of their last six multigame men’s Test series (W4, D1), a 2-0 defeat to Pakistan in February 2021; the Proteas are undefeated in their four such series since then (W3, D1).
- England have won their last four men’s Tests in succession; the last time they enjoyed a longer winning run in the format was a five-match span from August to November in 2018.
- South Africa have a bowling strike rate of 46.7 in men’s Tests in 2022 using pace bowling, the best of any team; England (62.7) have the third highest rate in this category.
- England have scored 50% of their runs from boundaries facing spin bowling in men’s Tests in 2022, the second-best rate of any team (India – 54%) and six percentage points higher than South Africa (44%).
- Aiden Markram (1,973) is 27 away from reaching 2,000 runs for South Africa in men’s Tests; he has scored just 22 runs across his only two previous Test innings against England.
- Kagiso Rabada (243) is seven away from taking 250 wickets for South Africa in men’s Tests; if he reaches the milestone in this match (53*) he’d be the third fastest player to achieve it for the Proteas (Dale Steyn – 49 matches, Allan Donald – 50).
- Stuart Broad (England) is one away from becoming the second player to take 100 wickets in men’s Tests at Lord’s (James Anderson – 116); he’s taken at least one wicket in 11 of his last 12 Test innings against South Africa.
- Ollie Robinson (England) has induced a batting false shot percentage of 27.5% when bowling in men’s Tests since the beginning of 2020, the second-best rate of any player (min. 40 overs bowled) in that time (Scott Boland – 27.9% for Australia).
