- England are unbeaten in each of their last two men’s Test matches played against India (W1 D1); the last time they had a longer unbeaten streak against the Men in Blue in the format was a run of three games from 2018 to 2021, one of which was also played at The Oval, London where the visitors lost by 118 runs.
- England and India played out a draw in the fourth Test of the ongoing men’s Test series; another draw in this match would make The Oval (37) in London the outright second most frequent venue for drawn men’s Test matches behind only Lord’s (51) in London (also 37 drawn games at Old Trafford, Manchester).
- India won their most recent men’s Test match against England at The Oval, London by 157 runs in September 2021, and will be aiming to win back-to-back games in the format at the same venue against the Three Lions in England for just the second time (Headingley, Leeds – two games between 1986 and 2002); England lost their most recent men’s Test at The Oval by 8 wickets against Sri Lanka in September 2024, and a defeat here will see them lose consecutive such games at the venue for the first time since a run of two losses between August 2015 and 2016.
- England will be aiming to win their first men’s bilateral Test series against India since their 4-1 victory in 2018, having lost two and drawn one since; a loss in this match would extend England’s winless streak to four consecutive series against India — their outright second-longest such run, behind a stretch of five winless series between 2001 and 2008 (D2 L3).
- India have registered seven totals of 350+ in the ongoing bilateral series, the most by any team in a men’s Test series; in fact, only England having registered more 300+ scores as an away side in a men’s Test series than India’s seven (eight against Australia in 1928–29).
- England batters have averaged 4.11 runs per over against India in the ongoing men’s Test series; since Brendon McCullum took over as head coach in June 2022, only twice have England scored at a slower such rate in a single series in the format (3.84 against India in 2024 and 4.09 against South Africa in 2022).
- This ongoing bilateral men’s Test series has seen 18 centuries scored by batters, the third-most in any men’s Test series, behind only West Indies vs Australia in 1955 (21 centuries) and South Africa vs West Indies in 2003–04 (20 centuries); in fact, India batters have contributed 11 of those 18 centuries — their joint-most in a single Test series (also against West Indies at home in 1978-79).
- Shubman Gill (India) has recorded four centuries in the ongoing series, a hundred in this match will see him equal Clyde Walcott’s record for the most centuries in a bilateral men’s Test series (five against Australia in 1955); in doing so, Gill would also become the first captain to score five hundreds in a single such series.
- Ben Stokes has scored 304 runs and picked up 17 wickets in the ongoing series, becoming the only English skipper to score 300+ runs and take 15+ wickets in a men’s bilateral Test series; if he picks up three more wickets, he will become just the third captain overall to score 300+ runs and take 20+ wickets in a series after Gary Sobers (722 runs and 20 wickets against England in 1966) and Shaun Pollock (302 runs and 20 wickets against West Indies in 2001).
- KL Rahul (India) has scored 511 runs at an average of 63.9 in the ongoing series, 32 runs in the final Test will see him achieve the outright highest tally by an India opener in a men’s Test series in England (overtaking Sunil Gavaskar’s tally of 542 in 1979) and the outright second highest tally by an India opener in such a series away from home (Gavaskar – 774 vs West Indies in 1971); having scored two centuries in this series, another hundred in this game will see Rahul become the first visiting opener since Gordon Greenidge in 1976, and fourth overall, to record three or more tons in a single series in England (also Alan Melville in 1947 and Arthur Morris in 1948).
