- Australia have won three of their last four Boxing Day Tests against England, including an eight wicket win in their last such fixture (2013).
- The Baggy Greens have won their last eight Ashes Test matches on home soil, never before have they won nine on the bounce.
- Three of the last five Ashes Tests have been decided by margins of more than an innings; this had not occurred even once in the 13 encounters to have taken place beforehand.
- England have now won the toss in each of their last five Ashes Tests; they have gone on to lose the last four games however.
- Australia are undefeated in their last six Boxing Day Tests (W5 D1), including an innings victory over Pakistan on Boxing Day 2016.
- Australia (21 played) and England (27 played) have each won 11 Tests since the beginning of 2016, though Australia have done so from six fewer Tests; only India (16/23) have won more Tests in that span.
- Jonny Bairstow has been involved in 33 Test dismissals in 2017, the fourth most of any wicketkeeper and nine more than Australian-best Matthew Wade (24).
- James Anderson's next wicket will be his 519th in Test cricket, equalling Courtney Walsh as the fifth-most prolific wicket-taker in Test history.
- Steve Smith has a Test batting average of 127.6 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground; among players who played at least five Tests there, only Sir Donald Bradman (128.5) has a better average.
- Alastair Cook (11,712) requires 103 in order to go above Mahela Jayawardene (11,814) and into 8th in the list of all-time leading runscorers in Test cricket; the England opener has gone 10 Test innings without a half-century however, his longest run without one.
