The second Ashes Test between England and Australia at Lord’s has been disrupted by Just Stop Oil protesters.
Two protesters ran on to the pitch and threw orange powder, before England cricketer Jonny Bairstow picked one of them up and carried him off the pitch.
The protesters were wearing Just Stop Oil t-shirts.
Another protester was stopped by security staff before being taken away from the grounds.
Bairstow had to briefly leave the field to change his top, after it was covered in orange powder, and the match resumed when he returned.
The Metropolitan Police said three people were arrested following the incident.
Former Australia skipper Ricky Ponting, speaking in the Sky Sports studio, said he felt for the players after the hotly-anticipated match was halted so early in the battle.
“As a batter in the build-up you just want to get out there and under way. Delays are not ideal for anyone,” he said.
“The batters just need to put something like this out of their mind.”
