‘Just Stop Oil’ protesters forced a stoppage in play early in the evening session at the World Snooker Championship in Sheffield.

Two protesters invaded the arena shortly after play began with a man interrupting the match between Robert Milkins and Joe Perry by jumping on the table, where he released a packet of orange powder.
