Protests outside the Gabba forced the venue into lockdown while a pitch invader ensured a dramatic opening to the second day of the Brisbane Test.

Groups carrying Palestinian and Aboriginal flags had gathered outside the stadium hosting Australia and West Indies on Jan. 26, with police making at least two arrests in the hours before play was scheduled to begin.
