- England have won seven of their last nine men’s Tests against New Zealand (L2), including a 115-run victory in the first match of this series earlier this month (June 2026); they had gone winless across their seven meetings against the Black Caps in the format prior to that span (D3 L4).
- New Zealand defeated England by 83 runs when they last met in a men’s Test at The Oval in August 1999; the Black Caps hadn’t won any of their eight meetings against them at the venue in the format prior to that game (D4 L4).
- England have won two of their last three men’s Tests (L1), including a 115-run victory against New Zealand last time out; they had gone winless across their five games in the format prior to that span (D1 L4) and will be aiming for consecutive wins for the first time since their first two fixtures in 2025.
- New Zealand lost by 115 runs in their most recent men’s Test (June 2026 vs England), snapping a seven-game unbeaten run in the format (W6 D1); the Black Caps will be looking to avoid consecutive defeats for the first time since December 2024.
- England have lost their last two men’s Tests at The Oval, after winning five of their six matches at the venue prior to that span (L1); a third consecutive defeat in this game would equal their longest losing run in such fixtures in the history of the format (L3 from August 1971 to July 1973).
- New Zealand have taken all 10 of their opposition’s wickets in each of their last 14 men’s Test bowling innings outside New Zealand – their longest such run in the history of the format; the Black Caps have kept their opposition to fewer than 300 runs in each of their last 12 innings in that span.
- Joe Root (13,952 for England) is 48 away from becoming only the second player to reach 14,000 runs in men’s Test history (Sachin Tendulkar – 15,921 for India); he scored 105 runs in his most recent Test innings at The Oval against India in 2025.
- Kane Williamson (110) is one away from equaling Stephen Fleming (111) for the third most appearances for New Zealand in men’s Test history (Ross Taylor – 112, Daniel Vettori – 112); this is set to be his first match in the format at The Oval in London, he’s recorded a 50+ score in his first Test match at two of the three venues he’s played at in England (60 at Lord’s, 52* at Rose Bowl).
- Ollie Robinson (England) has taken 45 wickets at an average of 19.6 across his last 17 Test bowling innings in England, recording at least one wicket in 16 of those 17 innings; he logged a five-wicket innings (5-39) in the first men’s Test of this series against New Zealand earlier this month (June 2026) and also in his most recent Test at The Oval (5-49 vs South Africa in September 2022).
- Kyle Jamieson (New Zealand) has taken 12 wickets at an average of 16.3 across his last four Test bowling innings, recording at least one wicket in each of those four innings including two hauls of 4+ wickets in that span; in addition, he hasn’t been dismissed in two of his three batting innings in that stretch (8*, 38*, 6).
