Play was delayed at Lord's after a few climate protesters invaded the pitch on day 1 of the 2nd Test.

The incident took place right after the completion of the first over by James Anderson when some of the protesters ran onto the playing area. 

The security personnel were quick to react but it was Jonny Bairstow, who got the big applause from the crowd after he nonchalantly lifted one of the blokes and carried him off the field himself. 

Bairstow's actions saw the crowd and the players all break into a laugh, with his Yorkshire teammate Harry Brook even giving him a pat on the back for showing his brute strength.
