Watch: England cricketer Bairstow carries climate activist off Lord’s pitch

England wicketkeeper Jonny Bairstow carries off a protester at Lord’s cricket ground as climate activists briefly interrupt play on the first day of the second Ashes Test, in amateur images filmed from the crowd.

The first morning of the second Ashes test at Lord’s was interrupted when two Just Stop Oil protesters ran on to the ground and scattered orange powder on the outfield, before one was carried off by England wicketkeeper Jonny Bairstow.

After the first over on Wednesday bowled by England’s James Anderson to Australia batsman David Warner, the men emerged from the stands and moved towards the square, releasing the powder before being tackled by security staff and players.

Bairstow picked up one of the men and carried him off the field before dropping him to the ground outside the boundary markers.

Ground staff cleared the powder and play resumed after a delay of around five minutes.

Just Stop Oil protesters have disrupted other sporting events in England this year, including the Premiership Rugby final and the World Snooker Championship.
