8.51 pm Smith is in a hurry to scamper off the field to get ready for the chase and only pauses briefly at the edge of the rope to acknowledge the raucous applause for his 125 not out, the fifth highest score in BBL history. Smith teams with Henriques for a 155-run partnership as well. This will be a tall task to chase for the Thunder. Will they bring the lightning too to make a real game of it? Stay tuned for the reply when Shashwat Kumar will be taking over the central commentary position.
