- Joe Root's side won the 4th Test at the Ageas Bowl in Southampton and as a result England have now gone nine home Test series unbeaten; their last Test series defeat on home soil came in 2014 versus Sri Lanka.
- Just one of England's last 31 Test matches to have been played on home soil has ended in a draw (W20, L10); they have won nine of 13 home Test matches under the captaincy or Joe Root (L4).
- Six of the last seven Test matches at the Oval have been one-sided wins (D1); that run includes four innings victories, a win by a margin of 239 runs and a 10-wicket victory (England W3, D1, L3 in that time).
- India have only managed one Test victory at the Oval despite having played there 11 times previously (D7 L4); that sole win came back in 1971, they've endured a seven-Test winless run at the London venue since (D5 L2).
- India have only been able to win five times in their last 34 Test matches to have taken place outside of Asia (D9 L20); they have claimed victories in 20 of their last 26 in their home continent however (D5 L1).
- This will be Alastair Cook's final Test match, he is set to mark it by becoming only the third batsman ever to register 1,000 Test runs at the Oval (Hutton and Gooch); he's currently sat on 999 at the famous venue, England's all-time record runscorer in Tests has only registered one duck in 22 attempts there in Test cricket.
- James Anderson is only one dismissal away from becoming the all-time leading wicket-taker against India (currently level with Muralitharan, 105) and requires five more scalps to go above Glenn McGrath (563) as the seamer to take the most Test wickets ever.
- Moeen Ali has taken 4+ wickets in four of his last five Test innings against India in England; he's averaged 20.4 versus India at home in Test cricket.
- Virat Kohli has 544 runs in this series so far (averaging 68); over twice as many as the second-highest scoring player (Jos Buttler, 260).
- The hotly anticipated battle between Virat Kohli and James Anderson this summer has been extremely one-sided; Kohli's scored 106 runs against the swing bowler without being dismissed, the most runs any batsman has managed facing a specific bowler in this series.
