Cricket fans in Pakistan protested over the 'fixing' scandal surrounding the national team by slapping donkeys and pelting them with rotten tomatoes.
Protesters in Lahore led a procession of donkeys with the names of the players accused of taking bribes for no-balls in the fourth Test against England stuck on the foreheads of the animals.
These players have let us and the country down,' a protester screamed. 'We are already facing so many problems because of the floods and terrorism and they took away our one source of happiness.'
Television pictures also showed Pakistanis pelting their team bus with rotten vegetables when it arrived at Lord's in London on Sunday.
