- Mitchell's 700 minutes of batting during the Test is the tenth longest for New Zealand. The longest is Stephen Fleming's 950 minutes against Sri Lanka at Colombo (PSS) in 2002-03.

Test cricket's highest first innings of a match total in which the batting side lost is 595 for 8 by Bangladesh against New Zealand at Wellington in 2016-17. New Zealand's total is the fourth highest.
- The 1675 runs scored in the Test is a record at Trent Bridge. The previous highest was 1496 between England and Australia in 1938.
- In successfully achieving their victory target, England also made the highest successful fourth-innings chase at Trent Bridge which was previously their 284 for 6, also against New Zealand, in 2004.
- Jonny Bairstow's 136 is only the second, fourth innings century by an England player in a successful chase at Trent Bridge. Graham Thorpe made an unbeaten 104, also against New Zealand in 2004.
- Bairstow's innings, despite just missing out on being the quickest century by an England player, is the third highest for England in the fourth innings in a winning side. Mark Butcher's unbeaten 173 against Australia at Headingley in 2001 heads the list.
- The seven sixes hit by Bairstow in his innings is the most by a player at Trent Bridge. Viv Richards (West Indies vs. England in 1976) and Umar Gul (Pakistan vs. England in 2010) hit four each which is the next best, as did Mitchell and Stokes in this same Test.
- Ben Stokes's second innings, unbeaten 75 is the joint-seventh, fourth innings highest score by an England captain in a winning side. The highest is Michael Atherton's 118 against New Zealand at Christchurch in 1996-97 whilst the highest by any captain at Trent Bridge is Mike Brearley's 81 against Australia in 1977.

- The 179-run partnership between Bairstow and Stokes is a record for the fifth wicket in England in the fourth innings of a Test. This beat the 177 between Bevan Congdon and Vic Pollard for New Zealand against England, also at Trent Bridge, in 1973.
- There were seventeen occasions of bowlers conceding 50 or more runs in an innings during the Test, a record for any Test. The previous highest was 14 between West Indies and Australia at Bridgetown in 1954-55.
