| MPs Derek Wyatt (Lab), Caroline Spelman (Tory) and Win Griffiths (Lab) at the protest outside Lords cricket ground during the Zimbabwe v England Test match. They went along to offer their support and agreed to don black armbands. Former Sports Minister Kate Hoey was outside Grace Gate, handing out leaflets about life under the Mugabe regime to cricket spectators arriving for the game. More than 100 MPs have called for the tour to be cancelled. |
| Andrew Meldrum (right), the Guardian’s man in Harare until last weekend when he was dramatically kicked out joined protesters outside Lords. Andrew was wearing a black armband. An echo of the protest staged during the World Cup by the two former Zimbabwean cricket players Henry Olonga and Andy Flower, to mourn the death of democracy in Zimbabwe. |
| Protesters arrived at Lords on the red bus which drove across London from the Zimbabwe High Commission. Earlier they had taken a letter of protest to the Zimbabwean High Commissioner Simbarashe Mumbengegwi.
