So that's that for TNPL for the night. We will be back for more tomorrow. Until then cuddle up and sleep tight. See you!

Shahrukh Khan | Lyca captain: The process that we followed and we had the same players as last year. Sai and I'm there to get the runs and the others have to chip in. The way Mukilesh played - hats off to him, it was sticky and the way Sai and Mukilesh played was wonderful. They had two left-arm spinners and we needed a left-hander to take them on - that's why the impact player was sent. The more you spin the ball, the more purchase you get - that's what I did last year too and I have been following the same. I'm bowling well and I have to bowl more. Let's challenge Vivek Raj to hit to the bigger side was the plan and some days it works out, some days it doesn't. Today it did.

Sai Kishore | ITT captain: We gave too many runs in the middle overs, but Sai Sudharsan played really well. On this wicket it was 10 runs too many. When you have two similar players, the batting order had to be changed. We have close to 5-6 first-class players and I feel this is a one-off day, we did not play well today and this is a learning experience.

Sai Sudharsan | Player of the Match: Lovely to contribute to the team. I'm very happy to contribute to the team. We wanted to take the game deep was the plan in that partnership with Mukilesh. Running between the wickets is a very important aspect and I'm working on that. It was the last over and I wanted to maximise that and luckily it worked out.

22:48 Local Time, 17:18 GMT, 22:48 IST: Thumping win for Lyca. ITT were never in the chase as they slipped from 41/1 to 64/7 and that was the game. The big wicket was that of Vijay Shankar and he fell early. The others just could not cope either. When it looked like an early finish was on the cards, the game dragged to a boring conclusion as the lower-order batters nudged and prodded their way to singles, protecting their wickets. SRK had a good game as captain as all his bowling changes worked. The legbreaks of Jhatavedh Subramanyan impressed who has played for the Durham 2nd XI. Stay tuned for the presentation...
