- The last time England and Pakistan played in a multi-game men's bilateral T20I series was in November 2015, those encounters taking place in the United Arab Emirates; England won that series 2-0 but both sides have won a one-off match against each other since.
- The last four men's T20Is played in England and Wales have resulted in victories for the chasing side; that run of results began at Old Trafford, India seeing off England there by a margin of eight wickets in July 2018.
- England come into this encounter having won five men's T20I bilateral series in a row (includes one-off meetings); last losing such a series in July 2018 against India.
- England have tasted defeat in back-to-back men's T20I games at Old Trafford; the first of those coming in their only previous meeting with Pakistan at the Manchester venue.
- Pakistan have lost five of their last six men's T20I games when playing outside Pakistan and United Arab Emirates: including the last three such matches in a row.
- Chris Jordan currently has 58 T20I wickets to his name; if he manages to take eight in this series, he will leapfrog Stuart Broad (65) into top spot in the list of all-time leading men's T20I wicket-takers for England.
- Only India's Jasprit Bumrah (385) has bowled more 'death over' deliveries than Chris Jordan (285) since the start of 2016 in men's T20Is (17th over onwards); 22% of the England bowler's deliveries during that period of games have been yorkers, the highest rate of anyone to log 100+ balls at the death.
- Shadab Khan is two wickets away from becoming the seventh man to claim 50 in T20Is for Pakistan whilst teammate Imad Wasim's economy of 6 is the second-lowest of any man ever to log 500+ deliveries in the format (behind Daniel Vettori, 5.7).
- Jason Roy requires 140 runs in this three-match series to become the fifth England player to reach 1,000 career T20I runs (Pietersen, Buttler, Hales, Morgan) - meanwhile Mohammed Hafeez needs just eight runs to become the second Pakistan international to score 2,000 career T20I runs (Shoaib Malik).
- Babar Azam's batting average of 50.7 across 38 innings is the second highest ever recorded in men's T20Is (Virat Kohli, 50.8); the Pakistan skipper posted more runs than anybody else in the 2019 T20 Blast, a domestic competition in England (578 for Somerset).
