Wicketkeeper-batter Jonny Bairstow took to social media on Thursday to share how England team bus was held up by protesters while on its way to the Lord`s for the opening day of the one-off Test against Ireland. The protesters under the aegis of `Just Stop Oil` demanded that the British government should "halt all licences and consents for new oil, gas and coal projects".
Taking to Instagram, Bairstow wrote: "If we`re a bit late it`s not our fault", even as several `Just Stop Oil` protesters and security personnel can be seen surrounding the bus in the middle of the road.
