- Pakistan have gone three Test series unbeaten versus England; winning twice in the United Arab Emirates before holding the hosts to a 2-2 draw in England last time out (2016).
- England haven't suffered a Test series defeat to Pakistan on home soil since 1996; they have recorded two victories and two draws since then.
- England last tasted a home series loss in Test cricket back in June 2014 (v Sri Lanka); claiming five wins and two draws since.
- Joe Root's side failed to win a single Test match during the winter (D1 L1 against New Zealand, D1 L4 versus Australia); last registering a Test victory in September 2017.
- Pakistan have managed to win four of the last eight Tests played out between these nations at Lord's compared to England's two (D2); the tourists recorded a 75-run victory over England at the famous venue in the most recent encounter (2016).
- Alastair Cook needs 155 to become only the second batsman ever to post 2,000 Test runs at Lord's; and 171 to go above the leading scorer there (Graham Gooch).
- James Anderson needs 10 scalps to become the first bowler to take 100 Test wickets at Lord's; he'd become only the second player to claim that many at a single venue (Muralitharan at three different grounds).
- Pakistan's Mohammad Abbas (18.8) and England's James Anderson (19.1) have the best averages of any of the 36 bowlers in Test cricket to claim 20+ wickets since the start of 2017.
- Mohammad Abbas comes into this fixture with England having claimed match figures of 9/110 in his last Test appearance, versus Ireland.
- Joe Root scored 512 runs at an average of over 73 when England hosted Pakistan in the 2016 Test series; he's 201 runs away from becoming only the 3rd England batsman to post 1,000 versus Pakistan (Gower and Cook).
