Watch: Third umpire emerges after getting stuck in MCG lift
During the Boxing Day Test between Australia and Pakistan, the start of the post-lunch session was postponed due to an incident involving third umpire Richard Illingworth. Joel Wilson and Michael Gough, the on-field umpires, were notified that Illingworth had not arrived at his MCG station. While making his way back to his assigned seat from the eating area, the Englishman was stuck in an elevator. As backup umpire Phillip Gillespie hurried to replace Illingworth, Australia's opener David Warner found humor in the situation. After a short while, Illingworth exited the elevator and play eventually started again.
