Archer’s return to Test cricket after a four-year hiatus has been nothing short of impactful. Playing in the ongoing third Test between England and India at Lord’s, the fast bowler made his presence felt early by removing India’s opener Yashasvi Jaiswal for a duck.
On the final day, during the first session, Archer continued his fiery spell by getting rid of Rishabh Pant. Later, he dismissed Washington Sundar, who lasted just four balls without scoring. His crucial breakthroughs have put England in a strong position as they edge closer to a win at Lord’s.
Jofra Archer’s Old Tweet Resurfaces After Dismissing Washington Sundar at Lord’s
Jofra Archer’s old tweet has taken social media by storm following his dismissal of Washington Sundar during the Lord’s Test. Back in July 2015, Archer had posted on X (formerly Twitter), “How long it takes to get to Washington?”, most likely referring to the U.S. capital.
However, after his recent performance, cricket fans gave the tweet a humorous twist, relating it to the dismissal. Many fans responded with “four balls,” highlighting the number of deliveries it took Archer to remove Sundar. Even the official England Cricket account joined the fun by replying to the viral post on X.
How long it takes to get to Washington ? 😕

Jofra Archer also claimed two wickets in the first innings. Earlier, England were bowled out for 192 in their second innings, setting India a target of 193 runs. Ben Stokes and Jofra Archer delivered early blows, removing key Indian batsmen swiftly at the start of the chase.
Meanwhile, England have seized the momentum in the second innings of the Lord’s Test. They have India on the brink at eight wickets down, needing just two more to secure victory. Ravindra Jadeja is keeping India’s hopes alive, but he’s running out of support from the other end.
