5th Ashes Test: Pitch invader disrupts play on Day 3 at The Oval | Cricket News

NEW DELHI: The Ashes series continues to be on the radar of pitch invaders as the third day of the fifth and final Test between England and Australia at The Oval witnessed an incident where a topless man ran onto the field to disturb the play.

One spectator, who doesn’t seem to be an Australian fan for sure, ran towards the pitch to express his displeasure by showing an obscene gesture to pacer Mitchell Starc.
The second Test at Lord’s was also disrupted by two climate change protesters from the activist group Just Stop Oil, who invaded the pitch.

Talking about the match, England produced an impressive batting effort in the second innings as they took a massive 377 runs lead.
Riding on Joe Root (91), Jonny Bairstow (78) and Zak Crawley’s 73, the hosts piled up 389/9 at stumps on the third day.
Moeen Ali (29) also made some good contributions but the lower order couldn’t do much. However, they still have one wicket left and will look to extend the lead more.
