Leeds, England, August 17: Karl Power, the man who dressed up in Manchester United kit and joined a team photograph, was at it again on the second day of the fourth Ashes Test here at Headingley on Friday.

England captain Nasser Hussain had just made his way to the wicket after the dismissal of Marcus Trescothick when another 'batsman' clad in team kit and regulation helmet came out of the players' pavilion and walked out onto the playing surface.

Initial thoughts were that Hussain or possibly his batting partner Mark Butcher had sustained an injury that required a runner.

The Laws of Cricket require that anyone 'running' must wear all the same clothing and equipment as the injured batsman.

But after only a few paces, Power turned, removed his helmet and raised his arms to raucous applause from the Headingley crowd. He then produced a mobile phone and seemingly pretended to have a conversation.

Power, 33, an unemployed labourer, first came to prominence in April when he brazenly walked onto the Olympic Stadium pitch in Munich and again clad in the correct team strip joined a Manchester United team photograph ahead of their European Champions League quarter-final against Bayern Munich.
