Melbourne, December 28

In a bizarre and hilarious incident, the second session of the day three of the second Test between Australia and Pakistan was delayed as the third umpire, Richard Illingworth, got stuck in a lift.

The second Test between the World Test Championship winners and the Asian side is taking place at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).

“The game is delayed because the third umpire…is stuck in the lift #AUSvPAK,” tweeted cricket.com.au.

Minutes later, Richard was able to make his way into his sitting area and the game resumed.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
