Jofra Archer marked his return to Test cricket after four years with an emotional performance at Lord's, helping England secure a dramatic victory over India.
The fast bowler revealed the toll of his lengthy rehabilitation journey, stating: "I can't tell you the amount of keyboard warriors I've had to put away over the last four years."
Archer described the match as "hectic" for his first Test back, acknowledging he bowled more overs than anticipated.
"It was a little bit emotional, a long journey," he admitted, adding that hearing the crowd and Long Room's support made "all that rehab worthwhile."

The pace bowler revealed England's deliberate shift in approach, explaining: "We said yesterday we're a bit too nice, we're nicer to some teams than they are to us and we just tried to shift it. We will keep that one [aggression] in the bank."
This aggressive mindset was evident in Archer's confrontation with Rishabh Pant.
When asked about his exchange after bowling out the Indian wicketkeeper, Archer said: "I just said 'Charge that!' He'd charged me a few balls earlier and it p****d me off."

India's resistance was epitomised by Ravindra Jadeja's unbeaten 61 from 181 deliveries, mounting an extraordinary rearguard action that nearly saved the match.
The all-rounder demonstrated remarkable resilience, grinding out runs through singles whilst his team teetered at 82 for seven.
Dinesh Karthik praised the fighting spirit, telling Sky Sports Cricket: "I really enjoyed Ravindra Jadeja at the end. He was running out of partners but still having the mental resilience to keep going over after over, not making an error."
Karthik highlighted the tail-enders' determination: "The attitude of Bumrah and Siraj is one to learn for all of India cricket really. They did not want to give up, they wanted to make a match out of it."
Despite the fierce competition over five days, both teams came together in a touching display of sportsmanship following the dramatic conclusion.
