- This will be the 13th Test encounter between these sides at Headingley; the hosts have claimed wins in successive matches there against the Windies, no team has ever gone on a longer winning run at this venue in Tests played out between these sides however.
- England will claim a series win, if they claim victory in this Test; it'll mark six home Test series wins in a row over the Windies.
- The hosts have only tasted two home series defeats in Test cricket since the beginning of 2009; winning 13 times (D2).
- England have claimed victory in six of their last eight home Test matches (L2) whilst the Windies have only mustered two wins in their last 18 attempts ahead of this contest (D3 L13); England have only lost one Test match in their last 13 played against West Indies (W6 D6).
- England have only been able to win two of their last seven Test matches at Headingley (D1 L4); they did beat Sri Lanka in 2016 by an innings and 88 runs in their most recent outing there however.
- AB de Villiers (South Africa) claimed a Test record by registering half-centuries in 12 successive Test matches between November 2012 and February 2014; Joe Root could match it in this Test, at his home ground.
- Root has a Test average of just 25.3 across his seven innings at Headingley; the lowest rate of any of the home venues he's played Test cricket at.
- Cook has averaged 64.5 across 31 previous Test innings versus West Indies; only Jacques Kallis, Graeme Smith and Sunil Gavaskar have registered better rates against them (25+ innings).
- James Anderson requires eight more wickets to become only the 3rd seamer ever to reach 500 in Test cricket (McGrath & Walsh) and only the 6th bowler ever (Muralitharan, Warne & Kumble) to reach that number.
- Anderson registered match figures of 10/45 in England's last Test match at Headingley (v Sri Lanka, May 2016).
