A Just Stop Oil (JSO) protester has been carried off the pitch at Lord's during the second Ashes test by England's Jonny Bairstow as activists threw orange paint dust during play. The Metropolitan Police said three people had been arrested after protestors invaded the pitch.
In a statement on Twitter, Just Stop Oil said it did not know who the protesters were but supported their actions.
It said: "At 11am, three Just Stop Oil supporters stormed the pitch at Lord's Cricket Ground in a cloud of orange powder paint and disrupted the #Ashes2023 Second Test between England and Australia. It's just not cricket to license new oil, gas and coal whilst the climate crisis knocks us for six.
