Bairstow praised by UK PM after halting Lord’s pitch protesters
London | England wicketkeeper Jonny Bairstow has earned the praise of the British prime minister for carrying a Just Stop Oil protester off the field while other Ashes players protected the Lord’s pitch amid a chaotic start to the second Test.
Two protesters sped onto the ground five minutes after the start of play at the home of cricket on Wednesday, forcing players to physically stop them from throwing orange powder on the pitch.
