On Day 3 of the second Test match between Australia and Pakistan in Melbourne, the start of play after lunch was delayed for a bizarre reason. All the players and on-field umpires were out in the middle, but the play could not start for a few minutes as third umpire Richard Illingworth was stuck in a lift and could not make his way back to his setup. The players were not clear regarding the delay, and the on-field umpires informed them about the situation. However, it was resolved in some time as Illingworth took his position, and the game was able to start with Pakistan looking to fight back in the encounter.
Watch it here.
