The first morning of the second Ashes Test at Lord’s was interrupted when Just Stop Oil protesters ran onto the ground and scattered orange powder on the outfield.

After the first over on Wednesday bowled by England’s James Anderson to Australia batsman David Warner, two men emerged from the stands and moved towards the square, releasing the powder before being tackled by security staff.

England wicketkeeper Jonny Bairstow carried one of the men off the field before ground staff cleared the pitch and play resumed after a delay of around five minutes.

Three people have since been arrested, police said.

Writing on Twitter, a spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police said: “We are aware of protesters on the Lord’s Cricket Ground pitch today, Wednesday, 28 June.

Police have arrested three people and taken them into custody.”

Just Stop Oil protesters have disrupted other sporting events in England this year, including the Premiership Rugby final at Twickenham and the World Snooker Championship in Sheffield.

  Google CEO Sundar Pichai speaks at a panel at the CEO Summit of the Americas hosted by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce on June 09, 2022 in Los Angeles, California. Anna Moneymaker | Getty Images Results were good, but not good enough. That’s Wall Street’s reaction to quarterly results on Tuesday from  Alphabet  and  Microsoft . Both companies reported revenue and earnings that exceeded estimates, yet the stocks sold off in extended trading. In investor speak, the stocks were priced for perfection. Alphabet shares are up 56% for the year and  climbed to a fresh high  last week, exceeding the prior record from late 2021, the peak of the tech boom. Microsoft is up 70% over the past 12 months, also reaching a fresh high recently and surpassing  Apple  as the  most valuable  publicly traded company. The companies generated excitement last year by riding the artificial intelligence wave, and were also lauded by shareholders for their dramatic cost-cutting efforts, which included eliminating t

  WATCH NOW VIDEO 04:33 Jerome Powell: Labor market slack likely to be increasingly important factor in inflation Federal Reserve Chair  Jerome Powell  said Friday that stresses in the banking sector could mean that interest rates won’t have to be as high to control inflation. Speaking at a  monetary conference in Washington, D.C. , the central bank leader noted that Fed initiatives used to deal with problems at mid-sized banks have mostly halted worst-case scenarios from transpiring. But he noted that the  problems at Silicon Valley Bank  and others could still reverberate through the economy. “The financial stability tools helped to calm conditions in the banking sector. Developments there, on the other hand, are contributing to tighter credit conditions and are likely to weigh on economic growth, hiring and inflation,” he said as part of a panel on monetary policy. “So as a result, our policy rate may not need to rise as much as it would have otherwise to achieve our goals,” he adde

Jim Cramer says the market needs a solid earnings season after Thursday’s hotter-than-expected inflation numbers

  WATCH NOW VIDEO 02:58 Bad earnings coupled with hot CPI report could ‘crack the exterior’ of the markets, says Jim Cramer CNBC’s  Jim Cramer  bemoaned Thursday’s hotter-than-expected  inflation  figures for December, saying the data was a blow to bulls hoping for interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve. He said the market needs a solid start to earnings season on Friday to improve the averages. “The bulls didn’t get the cool inflation number they wanted. Consider that strike one of a two-strike game,” he said. “Tomorrow’s earnings bring another pitch. If we get another swing and a miss, I don’t think the averages will be able to rebound like they did this afternoon.” The  consumer price index  increased 0.3% in December from the month before, higher than most economists estimated, which suggests the U.S. doesn’t yet have a handle on inflation. Following the news, the  Nasdaq Composite  closed flat, the  Dow Jones Industrial Average  gained 0.04% and the  S&P 500  edged down 0
