Usman Khawaja<\/a> was repeatedly targeted in the Long Room by MCC members on the final day of the second Ashes<\/a> Test at Lord's, new footage has revealed.<\/p>\n

Khawaja was held back by security after the incident in the Long Room pavilion<\/a>, which led to three members being suspended.<\/p>\n

The incident came after the controversial moment involving Jonny Bairstow when he was stumped by Alex Carey after wandering out of his crease.<\/p>\n

The newest footage, released by The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, shows Khawaja stop before pointing out a member to MCC stewards and Frank Dimas, the Australian team's security manager.<\/p>\n

The footage is taken after coverage widely circulated on Sunday's broadcast in which players were repeatedly booed as they climbed the stairs to the dining room.<\/p>\n

According to sources cited in The Age report, the ongoing investigation has not found any racial abuse.<\/p>\n

Exactly what was said to Khawaja hasn't been revealed, although descriptions are abhorrent.<\/p>\n

Fans could be heard chanting "cheat, cheat, cheat" at Lord's after the pivotal moment.<\/p>\n

The incident comes just days after a report was released citing discrimination and entitlement in England cricket.<\/p>\n

\"Usman<\/p>\n

"Some of the stuff that was coming out of the members' mouths was really disappointing, and I wasn't just going to stand by and cop it," Khawaja said after the Test.<\/p>\n

"So I just talked to a few of them, a few of them (were]) throwing out some pretty big allegations and I just called them up on it, and they kept going.\u00a0<\/p>\n

"And if they kept going I was like, 'well, it's your membership here', so I was just pointing them out.\u00a0<\/p>\n

"But it's pretty disrespectful, to be honest. I just expect a lot better from the members."<\/p>\n

With chummy scenes of day one well and truly in the past, administrators are preparing for a volatile third Test at Headingley.<\/p>\n

Security has been stepped up to protect players and to stop a repeat of scenes in which Just Stop Oil protesters invaded the pitch on day one<\/a>.<\/p>\n
