The hosts will be in action shortly and they'll take on the winless Panthers in the second match of the day. Change tabs and follow all the action. For now, cheers and bye..

KB Arun Karthik | Player of the Match: God willing it came [the big knock]. The wicket was superb here. The sweep is my go-to shot and I have worked a lot on that against the left-arm spinners. It is easier to communicate with the younger guys, in the team meetings they are the ones who are talking. Hats off to the management for taking those guys. They motivate me a lot. Rithik Easwaran is a superb talent and has a bright future ahead of him. He is hitting switch-hits for sixes - even in his sleep he will play that shot. We are chasing well, we practised a lot for the chase during our off-season and it's happy that it is paying off.

N Jagadeesan | CSG captain: When we were playing it was a good wicket, the ball was skidding on nicely, I was expecting a high-scoring game but the way we played was not good. We were 20 runs short. If you have to be critical, we have to improve our fielding a lot more. Also need to see the situation when we are batting and the way we are bowling. Still there is a chance for us as there are 2 games left.

Lakshay Jain: Today we saw the batting of KB anna, he is leading by example for the team. Just enjoying what I'm doing, the wicket was holding and I purchased that. Our bowlers restricted them to a good total. Poiya anna is bowling the tough overs and is executing really well.

18:33 Local Time, 13:03 GMT, 18:33 IST: A rollicking victory for Nellai and they move to the top of the table with 8 points from 5 games. For Chepauk, it's a third straight loss and their tournament is fast hurtling towards disaster. Nellai's chase was led by the captain who was in some form today. He set up the 160-run chase in the batting PP and ensured that Nellai were always ahead in the chase. Handy partnerships right through, 79 for the opening wicket and 61 for the second, enough for Nellai to cruise home. For Chepauk, the bowling was average and they weren't great in the field either.
