As the second Ashes Test got underway at the Lord’s Cricket Ground in London on Wednesday, June 28, England’s Jonny Bairstow was caught up in a bizarre moment. During the start of play on Day 1, Bairstow picked up and escorted a pitch invader off the field.

In a rather hilarious moment during the second Ashes Test, a pitch invader, part of the oil protestors group, disrupted the play as he stormed on to the field in the midst of the contest. However, upon spotting the pitch invader, wicketkeeper Bairstow immediately took heed of the scenario and decided to escort the former in a peculiar way by lifting him up.

Soon after, the star English cricketer headed back to the pavilion to change his whites, as it had been soiled in the process. The fans present in the stands applauded Bairstow for his immediate action on the protestor.
