England bowler Josh Tongue labelled Jonny Bairstow “a bit of a hero” after the wicketkeeper’s intervention stopped a Just Stop Oil protest causing a lengthy delay to the second Ashes Test.
Bairstow tackled one of two demonstrators from the activist group who broke onto the outfield after only an over’s play on the first morning at Lord’s, preventing the invader from reaching the square with JSO’s trademark orange dye.
