That concludes today's coverage of the double header. Do join us tomorrow for another double-header as the TNPL rolls on. For now, cheers and bye..

Shivam Singh - By the grace of god, we won today, just following the process, the new ball is doing a bit and so I had to take some time. Vimal batted brilliantly, the partnership changed the course of the game completely. We took it ball-by-ball. It's more important to follow the process and take it game by game

22:45 Local Time, 17:15 GMT, 22:45 IST: A comfortable win, a conventional chase and the Dragons move onto the 2nd place in the points table. The openers added 117 for the 1st wicket and set-up this chase, both made half-centuries and although both looked troubled at times, they didn't throw away their wickets. nellai kept fighting hard, but 159 was at least 15-20 runs short of a winning total. They still have a chance of upstaging Dragons to the 2nd spot, but their batting needs to be better than today.
