(Watch) Game gets delayed because the third umpire stuck in the lift in the 2nd Australia Vs Pakistan Test.

In a rather unusual incident during the ongoing second Test between Australia and Pakistan, an unexpected delay occurred on Day 3 of the match when umpire Richard Illingworth found himself stuck in a lift. Cricket matches are no stranger to disruptions, ranging from weather-induced interruptions to technical glitches. However, the spectacle of a match official being stranded in a lift was an unprecedented occurrence.The proceedings came to a standstill for a duration exceeding five minutes after the lunch break on Day 3, as third umpire Richard Illingworth encountered difficulties in an elevator at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). The absence of Illingworth from his designated seat at the MCG was evident when the broadcasters directed their cameras towards his vacant position, adding an unexpected twist to the unfolding events of the Test match.
