- Australia come into this game at The Oval having retained the Ashes for the first time since the 2002/03 series; they are currently winning the series 2-1 after their 185-run victory at Old Trafford.
- If Australia avoid defeat in this game, they will secure their first victory in a men's Test series away from home since February 2016 and their first men's Test series in England since 2001.
- England are looking to avoid their first men's Test series defeat on home soil since June 2014; that series loss five years ago coming against Sri Lanka (0-1).
- England have not suffered back-to-back defeats at home in men's Test cricket since 2008 (v South Africa); they have only managed one victory in their last 10 outings against Australia (D2 L7).
- Australia have only claimed three wins in their last 18 attempts at The Oval in men's Test matches (D9 L6); one of those victories came in their most recent encounter there however (2015).
- England have registered back-to-back victories at The Oval in men's Tests; they have not managed to record three on the bounce there since putting together a four-game winning run at the London venue between 1966 and 1969.
- Jason Roy has been bowled more often than any other batsman in this Ashes series (4); each of his last 3 dismissals have been in such a fashion.
- Australia's Pat Cummins now has 24 wickets in this Ashes campaign, the most he's ever claimed in a Test series; the all-time record by an Australian in a men's Ashes series was set by Terry Alderman in 1981 (42).
- Stuart Broad (England) has got Australia's David Warner out 11 times in Test cricket, the joint-most instances he’s removed a batsman (level with Michael Clarke); the Englishman has got Warner out six times in eight innings so far in this series, for the price of just 32 runs.
- Stuart Broad (England) has got more left-hander wickets than anyone else in this series (14); he's averaged just 13.5 when facing left-handed batsmen across the opening four Tests, he has a rate of 63.4 against right-handers however (five wickets).
