- England will be out to avoid losing three Test matches on the bounce against Windies for the first time since March 1994.
- The Windies have a chance to record a third Test win in a single series against England for the first time since 1998; victory in this game will mark the first time since 1986 that they've won every Test in a series against England (5-0).
- England have not lost three Test matches in succession since the start of the last Ashes series in December 2017; they have suffered defeats by margins of 10 wickets and 381 runs so far in this series.
- England come into this game having failed to register a Test innings score worth 250 runs in their last four innings; in their eight Test innings prior to this, England scored 250+ runs on seven occasions.
- England have never played a Test match before at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in St Lucia but have won their last five white ball games there however.
- Windies have been involved in six Test matches at the Darren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in St Lucia, four of which have ended in draws (W1, L1), including their last Test here in June 2018 against Sri Lanka.
- Joe Root (England) has failed to score a 50 in his last six innings, failure to do so in both knocks in St Lucia will make this the longest stretch of his career.
- Kraigg Brathwaite will captain Windies for the fifth time in a Test match, last doing so in 2018 against Bangladesh; he has scored in excess of 20 runs as captain just once in eight innings.
- Moeen Ali (currently on 170) is five wickets away from becoming England's fourth-highest Test wicket-taker amongst spinners; he'd go above Tony Lock (174), with only Derek Underwood (297), Graeme Swann (255) and Jim Laker (193) above him.
- The Windies' Shannon Gabriel has taken 17 Test wickets at the Darren Sammy National Cricket Stadium, five more than anybody else; his best Test match haul of 13/121 came at this venue last year against Sri Lanka.
