JONNY BAIRSTOW carried a Just Stop Oil protester off the Lord’s pitch after the activist group targeted the first morning of the second Ashes Test today.
The England wicketkeeper took matters into his own hands when two men ran onto the field armed with orange paint powder in a clear attempt to halt the match.
Bairstow, a keen rugby league player in his younger days, ran to meet one of the protesters and lifted them off their feet before carting them over the boundary edge.
