- England have won their last four men’s Tests against New Zealand, after going winless across their seven meetings prior in the format (D3, L4); the last time they enjoyed a longer winning run against the Black Caps was a six-match span from February 1963 to July 1965.
- England will be aiming for back-to-back wins against New Zealand in men’s Tests in New Zealand for the first time since March 2008, following their 267-run victory last time out.
- New Zealand are winless in their last seven men’s Tests (D2, L5); the last time the Black Caps went on a longer winless run in the format was a 10-match span from January to December in 2013 (D6, L4).
- England have won 10 of their last 11 men’s Tests (L1), including their last six on the bounce; the last time they enjoyed a longer winning run in the format was an eight-match span from May to December in 2004.
- England have hit a boundary once every 11.4 balls faced in men’s Tests since the beginning of 2022, the most frequent of any team in that time; New Zealand (13.9 balls faced) are ranked third in this category (India – 13.2).
- Batters have left 17% of New Zealand’s balls bowled in men’s Tests since the beginning of 2022, the highest rate of any team in that time.
- Ben Stokes (194) is six away from becoming the 16th player to take 200 wickets for England in men’s Tests; however, Stokes’ Test bowling strike rate against New Zealand (110.8) is his highest against any team.
- Stuart Broad (160) is one away from equaling Sir Alastair Cook (161) for the second most appearances for England in men’s Tests; Broad’s 89 Test wickets against New Zealand is the second most of any player in the history of the men’s format (Shane Warne – 103).
- Kane Williamson (7,651) is 33 away from becoming the all-time leading run scorer for New Zealand in men’s Tests (Ross Taylor – 7,683); Williamson has scored 70+ in each of his last three Test innings at Basin Reserve (91, 74, 89).
- Neil Wagner (New Zealand) has scored 72% of his 120 runs from boundaries in men’s Tests since the beginning of 2022, the second-best rate of any player (min. 100 runs scored) in that time (Mayank Agarwal – 77% for India).
