'It wasn't a proud moment. I just told him to 'charge that.' Honestly, this morning I was struggling a little bit, the ball just kept coming out full. One of the full ones, he just charged, and it pissed me off a bit. When the [wicket] ball nipped down the slope, honestly I was so grateful for that,' Archer said. This was Archer's first match back since getting injured in 2021 and missing out on red-ball cricket for four years.
