- England have not lost any of their last four bilateral men’s Test series against Pakistan (W2 D2), including a 3-0 series win when these two sides last met in Pakistan in December 2022; they will be looking to win back-to-back series in Pakistan for the first time in their history.
- Pakistan are winless in their last 10 men’s Tests in Pakistan (D4 L6) including losses in each of their last two; the only time they have gone on a longer such run was a 11-game streak from February 1969 to March 1975 (D10 L1).
- England have lost five of their last six men’s away Tests (W1) including each of their last four; they will be looking to avoid losing five matches in a row away from England for the first time since a six-game streak from February 2021 – December 2021.
- Pakistan lost their last men’s Test at Multan Cricket Stadium to England by 26 runs (December 2022) after Mark Wood took four wickets in the fourth innings for the visitors; they had only lost one of their five previous matches at the venue (W3 D1).
- Pakistan (42.5) and England (37.9) batters have the best and third best collective average in first innings of men’s Tests since the start of 2023 (Sri Lanka – 41.8).
- England (10.5%) and Pakistan (8.1%) batters have recorded the best and fourth best rates of strong connection on all balls in men’s Tests since the start of 2023 (India and Bangladesh – 8.2%); however, England’s false shot percentage of 25.9% in that span is also the highest of any team.
- Noman Ali (Pakistan) has bowled 93% of his 384 deliveries on a length in men’s Tests since the start of 2023, the highest such rate of any bowler in that span (min. 5 overs bowled); all his 10 wickets have been on length balls.
- Joe Root (England) has taken at least one catch in each of his last 19 men’s Tests, his 35 catches since the start of 2023 are the most of any player (excluding wicketkeepers); only Rahul Dravid (210) and Mahela Jayawardene (205) have taken more than his 201 such catches in the format.
- Babar Azam (3962) needs 38 more runs to become the 12th Pakistan player to reach 4000 runs in men’s Tests; he has scored 50+ runs in four of his last six innings against England.
- England’s Ben Duckett (173), Harry Brook (155), Ollie Pope (150), and Joe Root (134) are all in the top six batters to score most runs via the cut shot in men’s Tests since the start of 2023 (Australia’s Travis Head – 163 and Yashasvi Jaiswal – 144).
