  The thrust distribution in electron-positron annihilation is a classical
precision QCD observable. Using renormalization group (RG) evolution in Laplace
space, we perform the resummation of logarithmically enhanced corrections in
the dijet limit, $T\to 1$ to next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic (NNLL)
accuracy. We independently derive the two-loop soft function for the thrust
distribution and extract an analytical expression for the NNLL resummation
coefficient $g_3$. To combine the resummed expressions with the fixed-order
results, we derive the $\log(R)$-matching and $R$-matching of the NNLL
approximation to the fixed-order NNLO distribution.
