A cricket fan kept thousands of spectators entertained at the second Ashes Test at Lord's in London after her unfortunate tumble was televised.

Even Australian and English players in the midst of the game couldn't keep a straight face after the big screen showed the poor woman trying to sit down but missing her seat entirely. Australian batsman Chris Rogers was seen having a chuckle, while English bowler Joe Root also needed a moment to get it together.

Instead of hiding under her seat as she was probably tempted to do, the woman kept her cool and stood up and curtsied to the applauding crowd.

Sitting down -- only after double checking the seat was 100% in place this time -- she was later spotted having a well-deserved drink. All in all, a good day at the cricket.

It was all happening late on day three! #Ashes http://t.co/eoAMzikRUt— cricket.com.au (@CricketAus) July 18, 2015
