- England are undefeated in their last eight men’s Tests against Pakistan (W6 D2) and have won their last four matches against them; a fifth consecutive win in this game would equal their longest winning run against Pakistan in the history of the format (W5 from July 2006 to August 2010).
- Pakistan have lost their last six men’s Tests – a seventh consecutive defeat in this match would be their outright longest losing run in the history of the format.
- England defeated Pakistan by an innings and 47 runs in their most recent men’s Test away from home (October 2024), snapping a four-match losing run in such fixtures; they will be aiming for back-to-back wins on the road in the format for the first time since February 2023.
- Pakistan have lost each of their last two men’s Tests at Multan Cricket Stadium; they had lost only one of all their five matches at the venue in the format prior to that span (W3 D1 L1).
- England have a batting strike rate of 71.4 in men’s Tests in 2024 – the best of any team; in addition, they have hit a boundary once every 11.7 balls faced – the most frequent of any team in the format this year.
- Pakistan have a bowling average of 51.1 in men’s Tests in 2024, the highest of any team and the only side with an average of 40+ this year; in addition, they have the lowest catch success rate of any team in the format in 2024 (68% - 26/38).
- Harry Brook (1,875) is 125 away from scoring 2,000 runs for England in men’s Tests; if he achieves the milestone in his next innings (32*), he’d be the joint-second fastest player overall to reach it in the history of the format (also George Headley – 32 innings for West Indies) behind only Donald Bradman (22 innings for Australia).
- Babar Azam (3,997) is three away from becoming the 12th player to score 4,000 runs for Pakistan in men’s Tests; although, he has not scored more than 41 runs across his last 17 Test innings, recording 352 runs in that span at an average of 20.7.
- Joe Root (99) is one away from becoming the fourth player to record 100 scores of 50+ in men’s Test history (Sachin Tendulkar – 119, Jacques Kallis – 103, Ricky Ponting – 103) and the first for England; he’s scored 637 runs at an average of 106.2 across his last seven Test innings.
- Noman Ali (47) is three away from taking 50 wickets for Pakistan in men’s Tests; he’s taken 10 wickets at an average of 20 across his last four Test innings (64 overs bowled).
