Aus vs Pak 2nd Test: Hilarious Moment Halts The Play, Read What Happened At Melbourne

During the third day of the Boxing Day Test between Australia and Pakistan in Melbourne, an amusing incident took place. According to the reports, the play was momentarily delayed because the third umpire, Richard Illingworth, encountered an unexpected situation-he got stuck in a lift. This unforeseen circumstance left everyone at the stadium, including the players and on-field umpires, amused as they learned that Illingworth was unable to reach his cabin promptly, causing a brief pause in the proceedings.

The incident happened in the post-lunch session. Cricket Australia confirmed this unusual incident on their official X handle. "The game is delayed because the third umpire ... is stuck in the lift #AUSvPAK," Cricket Australia said in a post while sharing the picture of the third umpire's empty chair and on-filed umpires waiting for him.

Australia, having secured a 1-0 lead in the three-match Test series, has locked horns with the visitors in the second battle in the three-test series at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground. After being bowled out for 264 in reply to Australia's 318, Pakistan knocked the host's two early wickets within the first three overs. Speedster Shaheen Afridi removed Usman Khawaja and Marnus Labuschagne when Australia was 6/2 at Lunch.

This game is also a special one as Australia's batting great, David Warner, as he will bid adieu to the international cricket after one more game slated for Sydney next week. The 37-year-old cricketer has scored more than 8000 runs in red-ball cricket for his national side. While he has been extremely explosive in the shorter format also. In 99 matches, the left-hander struck nearly 2900 runs. In 161 One-day matches, Warner registered 6932 runs to power his team to emerge victorious on numerous occasions in tricky situations.

David Warner has a massive fan following around the world. He has been a part of the Indian Premier League's several franchises including the Delhi Capitals and Sunrisers Hyderabad.
