Snooker the latest sport to be disrupted by protesters.

Worth noting that the broadcast has kept away from showing the protesters exstensively and cut away to a wide shot as soon as the disruption began.
Contrasting with Saturday, I do question why ITV gave so much coverage to the protests during the broadcast, as the policy across all sports coverage generally is to avoid showing protestors and give oxygen to their cause. Granted this protest was against the thing being shown on the broadcast (the horse racing) which is different to a climate protestor in the Premier League for example, so it could justify a bit more of a mention to not brush the issue under the carpet.
BBC Four sticking with highlights of previous action from the day. Rishi Persad quite the unlucky charm when it comes to sporting events being disrupted these last few days.
Table 1 was damaged by what Rishi said they believe is dried paint, Table 2 unaffected but both table suspended.
