After the lunch break on the third day of the Melbourne Test between Pakistan and Australia, the interesting reason for the delay in the game came to light.

Play was delayed after a lunch break on the third day at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

After the lunch break, both the teams came to the field but the umpires had not started the game.

Field umpires West Indies’ Joel Wilson and England’s Michael Gough lost contact with the third umpire.

According to reports, TV umpire Richard Alngworth from England got stuck in the lift which delayed the start of the game.

setTimeout(function(){
!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)
{if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?
n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};
if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version=’2.0′;
n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;
