- Australia are undefeated in their last eight men's Tests against England (W6, D2); the last time they went longer without defeat against the old foe was an 18-Test stretch from 1987 to 1993 (W12, D6).
- Australia have won four of their last five men's Tests against England at Headingley (L1), this after having won only one of their 10 such fixtures beforehand (D3, L6).
- England have won two of their last three men's Tests at Headingley, both of those victories by more than an innings and will be looking to secure back-to-back wins at the Leeds venue for the first time since May 2007.
- England are now winless in their last two men's Tests on home soil (D1, L1); the last time they went longer without a win at home was a five-game run from 2013 to 2014 (D3, L2).
- Seven of the last nine men's Tests at Headingley have been won by the team to lose the toss, including the last five games in succession; the last instance of back-to-back drawn Test matches in England came in June 2014.
- Victory for Australia will bring them one step closer to winning their first men's Test series away from home since February 2016 and their first men's Test series in England since 2001; one more victory for the tourists will see them retain the Ashes.
- The previous Test at Lord's saw 20 instances of a batsman being struck on the helmet or hit on the body, 11 of them were inflicted by England's Jofra Archer; the other England bowlers combined to record just one such delivery across that entire match.
- Australia's Peter Siddle has seen four dropped catches off his deliveries so far in this Ashes series, twice as many as any other bowler; none of which were evaluated as hard chances (two easy and two medium).
- Stuart Broad (England) has taken 42 wickets at an average of 26.8 in Tests at Headingley; he requires a haul of just three wickets to eclipse Fred Truman (44) as the most prolific wicket taker at the Leeds venue in Test history.
- Australia's Travis Head has scored more Test runs (459) in 2019 than any other player; while his batting average of 76.5 in 2019 is the joint-best of any batsman to have batted at least five innings this calendar year, four of his last five dismissals in this format have been LBW.
