- New Zealand have lost each of their last three men’s Tests against England; the last time the Black Caps went on a longer losing run against the Three Lions in the format was a stretch of four games between July 1978 and July 1983.
- England are winless in each of their last seven men’s Test matches played in New Zealand (D5 L2), tied for their longest run of such games in the country.
- New Zealand have won just 12 of the 110 men’s Tests they have played against England (D47 L51), aggregating a win rate of just 10.9%; this is the Black Caps’ second lowest win rate against any opponent in the format (South Africa – 10.6%).
- England have won their last three multi-game bilateral men’s Test series on the bounce, with the first of these three series victories coming against New Zealand in England (June 2022); the last time the Black Caps won such a series against the Three Lions was in June 2021.
- New Zealand players have registered a collective batting average of 37.7 in men’s Tests since the beginning of 2022, second-best behind only Australia (41.6); England batters are ranked fourth in this category (34.8) during the said period.
- England batters have struck a boundary once every 11.7 deliveries in men’s Tests since the beginning of 2022, the best such rate among all teams; New Zealand (13.8) are third in this category during the same period.
- Kane Williamson (7,645 runs) is 39 away from becoming the outright leading run-scorer for New Zealand in men’s Tests; in doing so, Williamson would surpass Ross Taylor (7,683 runs).
- Joe Root (1,388 runs) is 112 away from becoming the only England batter to score 1500 runs against New Zealand in men’s Tests; Root has scored 1500+ runs against two other teams in the format (India – 2,526 runs & Australia – 2,016 runs).
- Neil Wagner (247 wickets) is three away from becoming the fifth New Zealand bowler to scalp 250 or more wickets in men’s Tests; if he manages to take four wickets in this game, he will become only the fourth New Zealand bowler to log 50+ wickets in the format against England.
- Ben Stokes (England) has hit 26 boundary sixes in men’s Tests since the start of 2022, the most among all batters; Stokes has hit 15 sixes more than New Zealand’s best player in this category in the same period – Daryl Mitchell (11).
