  • England are winless in their 17 men's Tests in Australia (D2 L15) – their last win in the country was against Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground in January 2011; New Zealand (18 matches) are the only visiting team with a longer winless run in the country in the history of the format.
  • Australia have won six of their last seven men’s Tests against England at Adelaide Oval (L1), including each of their last three; the last and only time they recorded a longer winning run against England at the venue was a five-match span from January 1895 to January 1908.
  • England currently trail 0-2 in this men’s Test series against Australia; the last and only time either side overcame an 0-2 deficit to win an Ashes series was Australia in Australia (3-2, December 1936 to March 1937).
  • Australia have won each of their last five men’s Tests; the last time they recorded a longer winning run in the format was a six-match span from November 2019 to December 2020.
  • England have a collective batting strike rate of 71 in men’s Tests in 2025, the best of any team; in addition, they’ve hit a boundary once every 11.5 balls faced – the most frequently of any team in the format this year.
  • Australia have a catch success rate of 81.3% (113/139) in men’s Tests in 2025, the best of any team and are the only side to have made 100+ catches (113) so far this year; in addition, they’ve made four run outs and four stumpings when fielding, only bettered by one other side in each category (West Indies – 6 run outs, South Africa – 7 stumpings).
  • Mitchell Starc (Australia) has taken 18 wickets in this men’s Test series between Australia and England; the last pace bowler to log more for either team across the first two Tests of an Ashes series was Terry Alderman for Australia in England in 1989 (19), while the most recent bowler overall to do so was Shane Warne (20) in the 1994/95 series in Australia.
  • Joe Root (160) is one away from equalling Alastair Cook (161) for the third most appearances for England in men’s Tests (James Anderson – 188, Stuart Broad – 167); he’s scored 698 runs at an average of 63.5 across his last 13 Test innings and has scored 60+ in three of his last five Test innings at Adelaide Oval (87, 9, 67, 62, 24).
  • Josh Inglis (Australia) has a batting dot ball rate of 55% from 169 balls faced in men’s Tests in 2025, the best of any player (min. 4 innings) in the format this year; he’s scored 702 runs at an average of 54 across his last 15 first-class innings.
  • Only New Zealand’s Rachin Ravindra (15% of 340 balls faced) has made a strong connection on a higher percentage of their balls faced in men’s Tests in 2025 (min. 200 balls faced) than England trio Jamie Smith (13.8% of 608 balls faced), Ben Duckett (13.5% of 770 balls faced) and Harry Brook (12.9% of 759 balls faced).
