2 England completed a whitewash against Pakistan in Test cricket for the second time. They previously did so in 2022 during a three-match series in Pakistan.

This was the sixth time in 12 series that Pakistan were whitewashed in a two-or-more-match Test series in the last four years.

8 Test series of three or more matches without an individual hundred, including this England-Pakistan Test series. Only one other such series in England happened in 1888, between England and Australia.

As many as 20 fifties were scored in this series, the most for a Test series without a hundred. Eleven of those came in Birmingham, the joint-second-most for a Test without a hundred.

8.76 Ollie Robinson's bowling average in this series is the sixth-best for a bowler with 20 or more wickets in a series. All five bowlers with a better average in a series than Robinson have been from England. The latest of them was Tony Lock - 34 wickets at 7.47 - against New Zealand in 1958.

4.66 Partnership average of Pakistan for their first two wickets in the series. Across six innings, they added only 56 runs for their first two wickets. It is the worst average for the first two wickets for any team in a Test series for a minimum of five innings.

3 Home Test seasons without a hundred for Joe Root, including 2026. He previously failed to score a hundred in 2019 and 2020, when he played six and five Tests, respectively. Root averages 33.50 across six Tests in 2026, his second-lowest average in a calendar year behind 29.83 in 2019.

Root has been dismissed lbw eight times in 11 innings this season, the most for any batter in a Test season.

9 Sixes Razaullah hit in Pakistan's second innings, the joint-most by any batter in an innings on debut. He equalled Tim Southee's tally against England in Napier in 2008.

1 Razaullah's nine sixes are also joint-most by any batter in a Test innings in England, alongside Ben Stokes, who struck nine against Australia at Lord's in 2023.

Razaullah's nine sixes are also the joint-second-most in a Test innings for Pakistan, behind Wasim Akram's 12 against Zimbabwe in 1997.

Eight out of Razaullah's nine sixes were hit against fast bowlers. Only Nathan Astle (ten) has hit more sixes in a Test innings against pace bowlers, while Stokes also hit eight at Lord's in 2023.

1 Razaullah became the first Pakistan player to score a fifty and take a four-for on Test debut. Overall, he is the 17th man with this double on debut and the second-youngest of the lot, behind Southee, who was 19 in 2008.

2 Runs collectively added by Pakistan and England for their first two wickets in their second innings in Birmingham, the fewest in a Test . Both teams, however, followed up those starts with century stands for the third wicket, which rank among the top five third-wicket partnerships from two down for two or fewer runs.

1 Robinson for England and Mohammad Abbas for Pakistan took two wickets each in the first over of the second innings. This was the first time that two first overs produced multiple wickets in a Test.

449 Pakistan's second-innings total, the second-highest by any team after losing their first two wickets for no runs. The highest is 451 for 8 by India against West Indies in Chennai in 1983.
