This isn’t the first time such an incident has happened in this series. In the second Test held at Lord’s, protesters associated with the “Just Stop Oil” campaign invaded the pitch, spreading orange powder in the vicinity of the 22 yards.
The event took an amusing turn as Jonny Bairstow, the England wicket-keeper, was spotted carrying one of the protesters and taking him off the field, a moment that quickly went viral across various social media platforms.
