England star carries Just Stop Oil protester off Ashes pitch after invasion

Jonny Bairstow carried a protestor from Just Stop Oil off the ground after they invaded the pitch at Lord's during the first Ashes Test.

The Test started at 11am on Wednesday morning, with James Anderson opening the bowling to Australia batter David Warner. The first over started with little drama, with Warner hitting a boundary to leave the score at 4-0.

Before Stuart Broad could bowl the second over to Usman Khawaja, two protestors ran onto the field carrying orange paint dust. Bairstow reacted fastest, picking one of them up and marching them to the boundary edge.
