Things continue to heat up ahead of the third Ashes Test in Adelaide as England’s security staff got into an altercation with the local media. Two cases have been reported thus far, the first at Brisbane Airport, where security staff confronted a Channel 7 camera operator for trying to get too close to the players. The second case arose when the England Team landed in Adelaide for the make-or-break Test, and a local journalist attempted a similar approach before captain Ben Stokes and managing director Robert Key shrugged him off, while their security again intervened.&nbsp;Meanwhile, Cricket Australia’s directive to all media during the five-match Test series is that both teams should be respected when travelling between Tests, including at the airports, reading, “The Australian and England teams will not be available for interview while in transit between matches during the NRMA Ashes series. All airport, hotel and transit is vision only, to be captured from a respectful distance." &nbsp;And although those directives seemed not to have been followed, Channel 7's official statement condemned this act, vowing to take this matter seriously.&nbsp;&nbsp;Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/ind-vs-sa-3rd-t20i-when-and-where-to-watch-india-vs-south-africa-match-live-streaming-in-india-1765633471427">IND vs SA, 3rd T20I: When and where to watch India vs South Africa match live streaming in India?</a> &nbsp;"While conducting routine filming in a public space, the camera operator was physically confronted despite acting respectfully and professionally.
