The protest led to a remarkable intervention by England’s Jonny Bairstow, who lifted one of the pitch invaders off the ground and carried him 60 yards to the boundary.

The players were preparing for the second over of the day when the protesters emerged from the Grandstand. One, a 69-year-old woman, did not make it on to the field of play, but two others sprinted towards the stumps, carrying bags of orange powder. Bairstow, England’s wicketkeeper, moved quickly to intercept one while at the other end Ben Stokes, the England captain, and Australia’s David Warner combined to usher the intruder away from the square before he was tackled by a steward.
