Cricket is back and the players, support staff and officials at the England vs West Indies Test marked the occasion by paying a tribute and showing their support to the Black Lives Matter Movement.
Everyone present at the ground took a knee, for 20 seconds, before the first ball of the Southampton Test was bowled with some of the West Indies players raising their right fists. There was a Black Lives Matter banner hung outside their dressing room.
