- Jofra Archer ran out Axar Patel for one using a football-style skill during the fourth T20 between England and India in Bristol, prompting the headline's 'World Cup spirit' framing.
- India finished their innings on 158-7 in the fourth T20 against England, with Archer's moment standing out in the context of the match score.
