AUS vs PAK Day 3 underwent a slight delay due to umpire getting stuck in an elevator

The play at the Melbourne Cricket Ground was delayed for nearly five minutes after the Lunch break as third umpire Richard Illingworth was stuck in the stadium's elevator. The camera showed that Illingworth was not in his seat at the official box as the players came out to play. The fourth umpire, who was at the boundary rope, had to rush up and fill in for Illingworth.

On-field umpires Michael Gough and Joel Wilson informed the players about the delay and the reason behind it. The players were also amused to know the cause of the delay.

The game eventually recommenced, with the fourth umpire momentarily filling in as a third umpire until Illingworth returned to the official's box. The umpire also seemed to be in splits on what had happened.
