SA's best venue, England unbeaten

0-1 South Africa's win-loss record against England at SuperSport Park. The teams have played four Tests at this venue, of which three were drawn. South Africa lost the 1999-00 Test by two wickets after forfeiting their second innings. The first three Tests were interrupted by rain - no play was possible on three days in the first two matches and in the third Test there was no play on the first day. Only in the last Test between the teams at this venue, in 2009-10, was uninterrupted play possible on all five days, with England hanging on to a draw on the final day.

15-2 South Africa's win-loss record at this venue in 20 Tests; their win-loss ratio of 7.5 at this venue is the best, by far, among the 11 venues where they have played ten or more Tests. Their two losses here have come against England and against Australia, in 2013-14. Among all teams who have played 20 or more Tests at a venue, only Pakistan have a better ratio - 10.50 at the National Stadium in Karachi.

8 Number of Tests at this venue that South Africa have won by an innings margin. Each of the last six wins for the hosts in Centurion have been by an innings. The 53.33% innings-win ratio (8/15) for the hosts at this venue is the highest for any team that has won at least ten Tests at a venue. The next highest is India's four innings victories out of ten (40%) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

1-6 Win-loss record of overseas teams fielding first at this venue in eight Tests. The only time a visiting team won while fielding first at this venue was in 1999-00 when England won after the match was reduced effectively to a one-innings affair. South Africa, though, have a good record while fielding first in Centurion, having won nine out of 11 Tests. The only time they lost while fielding first here came recently, against Australia. While the hosts have managed to post first-innings totals in excess of 400 runs six times in ten innings after fielding first, the highest score visiting teams have managed while batting second in the first innings is 359.

48 Spinners' average at this venue - second-worst for any venue where spinners have delivered at least 2500 balls. There have been four five-wicket hauls here by spinners, two of those in the same Test between England and the hosts in 2009-10. Fast bowlers have done much better at this venue in comparison, having averaged a fraction over 19 runs less per wicket. They have taken 23 five-wicket hauls and four ten-wicket hauls for the match in 20 Tests here.

21.25 Average opening stand per dismissal by visiting teams at this venue - the worst at any venue where there have been a minimum of 15 partnerships. In the 39 opening stands against the hosts in Centurion, there has been only one century partnership and two others stands of fifty-plus. England's average opening stand has been just 27.00 in the six innings of this series, with two stands of 50 or more; one of those was the 64-run stand in the fourth innings of the last Test, chasing 74 to win.

85.27 Hashim Amla's average at SuperSport Park - the highest by a South Africa batsman at any venue from ten or more innings. He has made 50 or more runs in eight of the 12 innings he has batted at this venue, including a double-hundred in his last Test here, against West Indies in December 2014. His 208 is also the highest individual score here. His aggregate of 938 runs is the third-highest behind Jacques Kallis (1267 runs) and AB de Villiers (1157). De Villiers himself has amassed 640 runs at 106.66 in his last six innings at this venue. His scores in these innings read: 129, 99, 121, 91, 48 and 152.

1 Centuries by England batsmen in Centurion - 141 by Graeme Hick in 1995-96. There have been 11 other scores of 50 or more, though, four of those in their last match here in 2009-10. None of the players from this England squad have a 50-plus at this venue; Alastair Cook, James Anderson and Stuart Broad are the only ones to have previously played a Test here.

5-20 Morne Morkel's best figures in Tests at home, which came against India at this venue in 2010-11. This is one of the two five-fors he has taken in South Africa; the other being 5 for 75 against England in Cape Town in 2009-10. The 5 for 20 he took in Centurion is currently his second-best overall in Tests. He averages 26.39 runs and 48.8 balls per wicket at the venue - both his second-best at a home venue after Port Elizabeth.

121 Runs required by Jonny Bairstow to go past England's record for the most runs by a wicketkeeper in a Test series. Alec Stewart's tally of 465 against South Africa in 1998 is the highest. The highest any keeper has made in a series against South Africa is the 473 by Adam Gilchrist in 2001-02. Bairstow needs 129 runs to go past that.

713 Runs by England batsmen at No. 6 and No. 7 in this series so far - 368 by Ben Stokes and 345 by Bairstow. This aggregate is just 131 runs short of the highest for England from those batting positions in any Test series. The highest for England is 843 in the 1934 Ashes. The highest for any team is 949 by West Indies in the 1966 Wisden Trophy, when Garry Sobers alone scored 722 runs.
