'They might know a bit about a batting collapse, but the climate crisis is no one-day international – it's our biggest test.'
Just Stop Oil activists marched in front of England cricket's team us as they made their way to Lord's to play Ireland in a pre-Ashes test.
They posted on Twitter just before 10am on Thursday, June 1 to say: "Just Stop Oil supporters march In Kensington and Battersea."And apparently that's the @englandcricket team bus. They went on to say: "We don't want to be on the road slow-marching. We'd rather be at work, or watching the cricket. But what else can we do when our government is pushing for a genocidal policy of new oil and gas?"
Cricket Ireland took to Twitter just half an hour later saying: "Good morning from Lord's! All set for a momentous Test match - toss and team news coming up shortly."
