England have enjoyed remarkable success against New Zealand at Trent Bridge, winning all four of their matches at the venue before this Test and remaining unbeaten across more than three decades of meetings (since 1994). With a 100% win rate, Trent Bridge stands out as England's most dominant ground against New Zealand.
