Gary Lineker wades into Lord's Just Stop Oil protest with cheeky advice to England

Gary Lineker has joked that England should bring the Just Stop Oil protestor back out to bowl after a disappointing first day of the Second Ashes Test at Lord's.

Ben Stokes' side won the toss and decided to bowl first with favourable conditions, but completely wasted an ideal start as the Aussies dominated with the bat. Australia raced to 190-2 before tea with Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne looking in tip-top condition.

Although Ollie Robinson removed Labuscagne for 47, Travis Head has since come in and done superbly as he and Smith formed a brilliant fourth wicket partnership heading into close. But as England continued to struggled mid-way through the second session, Lineker laughed about the protest at the start of the day.
