A TOPLESS streaker was caught by security and removed from The Oval on Saturday.

That's after invading the Ashes on day three of the Fifth Test between England and Australia.

As England opened up a 300-run lead over their rivals from Down Under, one punter decided to make a spectacle of himself in front of the crowd.

Removing his shirt, the man jumped over the barricade separating fans from the pitch.

He then proceeded to charge around the turf, running up to Australia players while swearing at them.

But quick-thinking security guards stepped in, apprehending the thug before removing him from The Oval to the cheer of the crowd.

One punter even lobbed a plastic pint cup at the swearing yob.

And England cricketers continued on unfazed as they clocked up more runs.

The incident came one month after eco-zealots invaded the pitch at Lord's during the Second Test match.

Just Stop Oil protesters disrupted play as England were bowling.

They threw orange powder as the angry crowd booed.

But wicket-keeper Jonny Bairstow took matters into his own hands.

That's by carrying off one of the yobs - whose feet weren't even on the ground.
