9.19pm What a turnaround. That is how T20s roll. You practise big hitting, and you keep trying to hit big. On days it doesn't come off, on days it comes off in a desperate situation. Thakur walked in to face a hat-trick ball at 89 for 5, nearly got out first ball, but there was some sensational hitting from Thakur there. The odd mis-hit didn't carry to the deep fielders. They have managed to get past 200, which many believed is the bare minimum on this pitch and the small boundaries. As an aside, this innings has taken an hour and 49 minutes, 19 more minutes than prescribed. There was no over-rate penalty, which means the officials were happy there were 19 minutes of unavoidable delays out there through DRS reviews and whatnot. For the chase, you will have Himanshu Agrawal calling the game. Don't go too far.

Umesh Yadav comes out ahead of Tim Southee
