In the history of cricket, you have seen matches stopped in the middle due to many reasons. Sometimes there is a sudden storm in the field, sometimes a match is stopped due to a bee attack, but have you ever seen a match stopped due to the absence of the third umpire? Probably not. For the first time in the history of cricket, this incident happened during the ongoing MCG Test between Australia and Pakistan. On the third day after lunch, the match was stopped for a few minutes as the third umpire was not in his seat.

The reason why the third umpire was not in his seat was also very ridiculous. In fact, after lunch the third umpire got stuck in the lift due to which he could not reach his seat in time. The video of the incident is going viral on social media, while fans are also giving their reactions.

Talking about the match, despite taking a lead of 54 runs in the first innings, Australia’s condition is looking weak. In fact, till the time of writing, the hosts have lost 4 wickets for just 34 runs. Kangaroos are now 88 runs ahead of Pakistan.
Batting first in this match, Australia scored 318 runs on the board with the help of Marnus Labusche’s half-century. Against this score, the entire Pakistan team was bundled out for 264 runs in the first innings. Apart from opener Abdullah Shafiq and captain Shan Masood, no batsman could cross the 50-run mark, while 5 batsmen could not reach double figures.
Pakistan got off to a good start in the second innings, now they will look to strengthen their grip on the match. If Pakistan manage to win this match, it will level the series at 1-1 and add to the excitement. Australia won the first test by 360 runs.
