- West Indies can register back-to-back men's Test series wins over England for the first time since recording seven in a row between 1976 and 1990; the Windies claimed a 2-1 home victory 18 months ago.
- England have not lost a home men's Test series since 2014 (v Sri Lanka); they have enjoyed an 11-series unbeaten run in England and Wales (W7 D4 - includes one-off game against Ireland in 2019).
- West Indies have not managed to claim a men's Test series victory on the road versus England since 1988, drawing in 1991 and 1995 before losing all six tours since then.
- England have never lost a men's Test at the Ageas Bowl (W2 D1) and are currently enjoying an eight-match winning streak across all formats there (1 men's Test, 5 men's ODIs and 2 men's T20Is).
- James Anderson is five dismissals away from becoming England's all-time leading men's Test wicket-taker versus West Indies (currently Fred Trueman, 86); he needs eight scalps to go 2nd in the all-time Test list against the Windies.
- James Anderson has picked up 117 wickets at an average of just 20.2 in men's Tests since the start of 2017; the best rate of any bowler to register 50+ dismissals in that time.
- Kemar Roach needs seven wickets to become only the 9th man to register 200 in Test cricket for West Indies; he was the leading wicket-taker when his side hosted a Test series against England last year (18).
- Moeen Ali has taken 46 wickets at an average of just 23.4 in home Tests for England since 2017; he has picked up 17 dismissals in just two Test appearances at The Ageas Bowl.
- Shai Hope (West Indies) has recorded just two Test centuries across his 58 knocks in the format; both of those tons came in England (Headingley, 2017).
- Ben Stokes (England) has dropped more catches in Test cricket than any other fielder since the start of 2019; just three of the 10 he has failed to take in that period have been evaluated as a hard chance. Stokes is set to become the 11th man to captain the England Test team during the 21st century.
