- England have won each of their last two men's Test series versus South Africa, as many as they'd won in their 10 series prior against them (D3, L5); the last time they secured more consecutive series wins against the Proteas was a span of five from 1938-1955.
- England have lost just three of their last 13 men's Tests series away to 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 from their last three men's Test series (D1, L2), the last time they went longer without tasting success was a run of four series in 2001-2002 (D2, L2).
- South Africa have lost only three of their last 17 men's Test series at home (W11, D3), with one of those defeats coming last time out against Sri Lanka; the last time they lost consecutive series on home soil was a span of four between 1935 and 1950.
- South Africa have won 19 of their 24 men's Tests at SuperSport Park (D3, L2), only at Newlands in Cape Town (W26) have they won more Test matches at home.
- James Anderson is in line to become only the second man to make 150 Test appearances for England (Cook, 161) and he needs just one wicket to go third for the most against South Africa in men's Test cricket (currently 84); the Englishman is currently level with India's Anil Kumble, only Shane Warne (130) and Muttiah Muralitharan (104) are sat ahead of them.
- Only Indian pair Mayank Agarwal (18) and Rohit Sharma (16) have hit more sixes against spin bowling than England's Ben Stokes (9) in men’s Test cricket in 2019.
- Ben Stokes (England) has averaged 47 across his 15 Test knocks versus South Africa, the highest rate he's managed against a single opponent; 2019 has been his best calendar year in terms of batting average in men's Test matches (48).
- No bowler has struck a batsman's helmet more often in men's Tests so far in 2019 than England’s Jofra Archer (six times - level with Pat Cummins); he comes into this series having managed to take just two wickets at an average of 105 against New Zealand in his most recent series however.
