The team bus was delayed by Just Stop Oil activists on its way to Lord's, which gave England's cricketers a frustrating start to the Test match summer.
At around 8:30 BST, the protest in central London's Kensington Gore briefly stopped the team bus.
It cleared up quickly and did not significantly impede the team's travel.
A picture of Just Stop Oil protesters and police blocking the road in front of the team bus was uploaded to Instagram by wicketkeeper Jonny Bairstow.
If we're a little late, it's not our fault, Bairstow's caption stated. ”.
The campaign group reported that about 50 protesters had gathered on the streets near Battersea and Hyde Park.
Alice Tulissio, a student from Falmouth, age 21, was one protester who took part in the demonstration. She stated: "I am marching with Just Stop Oil today because I want a future. ".

Six days a week since April 24th, protesters have been on the streets.
The UK government is knowingly hastening the impending climate catastrophe by approving more than 100 new oil, gas, and coal projects, the speaker continued. This will ultimately result in our all being put to death.
"I realize it's frustrating for drivers who are inconvenienced by marches, but at this point, there is no other way to get the government to pay attention to us. ".
More marches are anticipated later on Thursday, according to Just Stop Oil. Since April 24, the group has been holding six daily protests in London's streets.
