- England (D2 L6) have only claimed one Test series victory in their last nine attempts on the road against the Windies; a tour in 2004 which saw the English register a 3-0 victory.
- The Windies have failed to win any of their last four Test series played against England (D1 L3); failure to do so here will mark their longest ever run without a series win over the English.
- Almost half of Tests played out between the Windies and England at Kensington Oval in Barbados have ended in a draw (seven of 15); the hosts claiming five victories to England’s three across the remaining encounters there.
- The Windies suffered a four-wicket Test loss to Sri Lanka at this venue in Barbados last time out (June 2018); they haven't slumped to consecutive Test defeats there since enduring a four-game losing streak between 2002 and 2005.
- England registered more Test wins in 2018 than any other nation, picking up eight victories and losing only four times in that time (D1); the Windies tasted defeat in more games than they managed to win last year (W3 L5 D1).
- England come into this game having claimed five wins on the bounce in the Test arena, batting first and winning the toss on each occasion; they haven’t been on a longer winning run since a six-game streak in 2010.
- The Windies have lost four Test matches in a row ahead of this meeting with England; one of them by 10 wickets whilst two more coming by innings margins.
- James Anderson needs three dismissals to reach 200 Test wickets outside of England, he'll become the first player to do so for England; he took innings figures of 6/42 in his last Test in the Caribbean, a game which took place at this very venue in Barbados (May 2015).
- Ben Stokes is set to make his 50th Test appearance; he needs 34 to reach 3,000 runs in Test cricket.
- Shai Hope registered 375 runs from his six innings (averaging 75) when the Windies last took on England in a Test series (2017), 71 more than any other batsman; he could only post scores of five and nine in his only previous encounter with England in the Caribbean, a match which occurred at this venue in 2015.
