  • Although England are 0-1 down heading into this Test, they have lost just three of their last 13 men's Tests series in South Africa (W7 D3), they are unbeaten in the last three series of that stretch (W2 D1).
  • South Africa have lost each of their last two men's Test series, as many as they had lost in their 10 series prior (W8); they haven't endured more consecutive series defeats since losing three in succession from 2004-2005.
  • England are winless in their last three men's Test series (D1 L2), the last time they went longer without tasting success was a run of four series between 2001 and 2002 (D2 L2).
  • South Africa ended a five-game losing run in men's Tests by seeing off England by a margin of 107 runs in the series opener; it was their longest such streak in the format since they endured a five-match stretch ending in March 2006.
  • England have failed to record victory in their last three men's Tests on the road, despite winning the toss on all three of those occasions; Joe Root's men have only mustered one away win in their last six outings in the format, losing four times in that run (D1).
  • England have not beaten South Africa at Newlands since January 1957; the tourists have endured a six-match winless run at the Cape Town venue after that victory (D3 L3).
  • South Africa have only tasted defeat once in their last 18 men's Test matches played at Newlands in Cape Town (W13 D4); the Proteas have put together a four-game winning run there heading into this contest.
  • James Anderson (England) needs one more wicket to go clear of Allan Donald (86) into second in the list of leading Test wicket-takers in matches between England and South Africa; he'll go top of that list if he picks up six more (Shaun Pollock, 91).
  • England's second-biggest men's Test partnership came at Newlands in January 2016, a stand worth 399 runs shared by Jonny Bairstow and Ben Stokes; Stokes posted his highest ever Test score in that innings (258).
  • Rory Burns (England) scored more runs as an opening batsman than anyone else in men's Test matches during 2019 (824); he's averaged 45 since the start of the Ashes campaign in August 2019 (15 innings).
