SN Thakur 2-60(10 ov)
46.6
SN Thakur to Ross Taylor, 1 run, in the air and dropped. It was in the air for a long time and no one was able to get under it. Taylor miscues the big hit and the ball went up near mid-on, Iyer ran all the way from square leg and dived across, but the ball evaded his grasp. The long-on fielder should have called and come rather than Iyer and that's what Thakur also gestures
46.6
SN Thakur to Ross Taylor, wide, Thakur is not happy. Kohli is not happy. Slower ball outside off and Taylor walked across his stumps, misses the slash and the ball goes on the bounce to Rahul. The Indians gesturing that Taylor had moved across
46.6
SN Thakur to Ross Taylor, wide, tries the wide yorker but ends up spraying it outside the playing surface
46.5
SN Thakur to Jamieson, 1 run, low full toss outside off, Jamieson drives to sweeper cover
46.4

46.3
SN Thakur to Ross Taylor, 1 run, missed out there. Another full toss from Thakur and Taylor miscues the heave to deep mid-wicket
46.2
SN Thakur to Ross Taylor, SIX, just over Jadeja. A full toss outside off and Taylor shuffles across to heave it to the on-side, not off the middle but the power takes it over a leaping Jadeja at long-on. It would have been a catch at most grounds but not here at Eden Park
46.1
SN Thakur to Ross Taylor, no run, low wide full toss outside off and Taylor cue-ends the drive back onto his body
42.6
SN Thakur to Ross Taylor, 1 run, oh no! Bumrah has made a mess of a straightforward catch. Full and outside off, Taylor reaches out and slices the drive to third man, Bumrah misjudges it first and then circles around by the time he got there, the ball had bounced in front of him
42.6
SN Thakur to Ross Taylor, wide, this time he does get the wide. Banged in halfway down, but the line is well outside off and Taylor does not bother with it, happy to pocket the extra
42.5
SN Thakur to Ross Taylor, no run, 124kph slower bumper outside off and Taylor is beaten on the pull shot for the lack of pace. He looks at the umpire for a possible wide but only gets 'one for the over' in return

42.1
SN Thakur to Ross Taylor, 1 run, on a length and around off, Taylor dabs it to backward point and is happy to rotate strike
36.6
SN Thakur to de Grandhomme, out Caught by Shreyas Iyer!! Needless. Reckless. Careless. Add any other adjective as de Grandhomme has just thrown it away. He had to stay there and keep Taylor company but instead tries to take on Thakur and perishes in the process. Short of length ball and de Grandhomme did not have the space to free his arms on the pull shot, he miscues it straight up and Iyer runs in from deep square leg to complete the catch. India are tightening the screws by picking wickets at regular intervals. de Grandhomme c Shreyas Iyer b SN Thakur 5(8) [4s-1]
36.5
SN Thakur to Ross Taylor, 1 run, back of a length on the hips, tucked to backward square leg

26.3
SN Thakur to Tom Blundell, out Caught by Navdeep Saini!! One shot too many from Blundell. Thakur gets his revenge and gives a send-off to Blundell, pointing his finger up. Fullish and outside off, Blundell should've played it through the off-side. But instead fetches it from there and wanted to go over mid-on. The timing is very weak and he ends up dragging it to Saini at mid-on. Comfortable catch. Tom Blundell c Navdeep Saini b SN Thakur 22(25) [4s-3]
