Police said two men and a woman were arrested on suspicion of aggravated trespass and public nuisance.Guy Lavender, chief executive of the Marylebone Cricket Club, which owns Lord's, condemned the pitch incursion.
"Their actions not only endanger themselves and those who work at the ground, but they have consistently shown complete disregard for the people who pay to attend events, not just here at Lord's but around the country at other sporting venues," he said.
