England cricketer Jonny Bairstow carried a Just Stop Oil protester off the Lord's pitch after the group disrupted play on the first day of the second Ashes Test.

Police said two men and a woman were arrested on suspicion of aggravated trespass and public nuisance.Guy Lavender, chief executive of the Marylebone Cricket Club, which owns Lord's, condemned the pitch incursion.
"Their actions not only endanger themselves and those who work at the ground, but they have consistently shown complete disregard for the people who pay to attend events, not just here at Lord's but around the country at other sporting venues," he said. 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.Grandmother, 69, among protesters
