- Australia won the first match of the 2025/26 Ashes series by 8 wickets, their fifth consecutive men’s Ashes series in which they’ve won the opening Test; in fact, only once in the 21st century has any team won a men’s Ashes series after losing the first Test (Australia in England in 2005).
- Australia are undefeated across their last nine men’s Tests against England at the Brisbane Cricket Ground (W7 D2) and haven’t lost such a fixture there since November 1986; however, they have won only two of their last five matches at the venue overall (D1 L2) after winning seven in a row there prior.
- Each of the four innings in the first match of this Ashes series ended before the team reached 250 runs, only three of the previous 19 innings in men’s Ashes Test matches failed to reach 250 runs; indeed, the last time more consecutive innings ended before 250 runs were scored came in a six-innings stretch from July to August 2001.
- Australia have won 16 of their last 21 men’s Tests in Australia (D3 L2) including their last three in a row, while England have lost eight of their last 11 Tests outside England including their last two in a row; in fact, Australia are unbeaten in their last 16 home Tests against England (W14 D2).
- Bowlers have a collective bowling strike rate of 74.1 at the Brisbane Cricket Ground in the men’s Ashes series, the second-highest rate of any venue to host a match in the series behind only the Adelaide Oval (80.7); though, only three of the last nine Ashes innings at the venue have seen the batting team score 300+ runs.
- Australia drew a false shot on 40.2% of their total deliveries in the first match of the 2025 men’s Ashes series, their highest rate in a men’s Test since a rate of 42% against Pakistan on January 14, 2010; Australia pace bowler Mitchell Starc has taken 36 wickets when enticing a batter into a false shot in Tests in 2025 which is the second-most of any bowler (Blessing Muzarabani – 37).
- Travis Head (Australia) comes into this match on the back of a game-clinching century in the first Test of the Ashes 2025; he has scored either 80+ runs (4 times) or 0 runs (3 times) in seven of his nine Test innings in Brisbane, including two scores of 152 – one of which was in his most recent Test there.
- Brydon Carse is the only England bowler with a Test bowling average below 20 (17.7) and a bowling economy above three (3.87) in Oceania; he’s taken multiple wickets in seven of his eight innings in the region, taking 23 in total.
- Scott Boland (Australia) has taken at least one wicket in every one of his 12 First Class innings at the Brisbane Cricket Ground, taking 31 in total at an average of 15.9 in that stretch; in fact, his Test bowling average of 10.2 at the venue is the third-best of any Australian bowler to deliver at least 100 balls there (Ernie Toshack 6.5, Jhye Richardson 9.0).
- Harry Brook (England) has reached at least 50 runs in five of seven innings when batting in England’s first innings of the Test in 2025, including one century; in fact, he’s scored a half century in England’s first batting innings in each of his last three Tests against Australia.
