Lyca Kovai Kings vs Karaikudi Kaalai, 2nd Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

That's it for today. Join us back tomorrow for more of the TNPL

Mohammad: There's a lot of scope for improvement in the field. It was challenging today with the wind. Intent was to go hard in the first six overs. That set the tone for the coming batsmen. The way Rohith was batting in the nets, I was confident that he'd finish it off.

Badrinath: We could have got 10 runs more. We fielded really poorly. I think that was the difference. Fielding is very crucial in this format. Runs saved is runs scored. Important thing was change of pace. We didn't execute our plans well. We could have bowled more hard lengths. We have a young set of boys, and have plenty to learn.

Suryaprakash: Today was a very good day for us. I read the pitch well, and did my homework. We've been doing well together, and have a good rapport (talking about his opening partner).

Suryaprakash is Man of the Match

22:42 Local Time, 17:12 GMT, 22:42 IST: The openers provided an ideal start with a stand of 87, which set LKK on their way to the the target. From that point, it was always going to be tough for KK. They did fight hard, but Rohith's cameo killed them off at the end. Defending only a modest target of 159, much relied on the start. And that's where Sita Ram and Suryaprakash put LKK in the driver's seat. Suryaprakash, in particular, was impressive during his half-century. However, his dismissal took the game deeper than it should have. The story of the chase would be incomplete without mentioning how bad KK were in the field. They were just atrocious. Dropped catches, misfields, you name it. They had this defeat coming

Ganapathy to Rohith, FOUR, Rohith finishes it off, jumping down the pitch and slapping it over extra-cover. He's played a superb little cameo to seal the game for LKK

Ganapathy to JS Mohammad, 1 run, good grief, a sitter goes down! Just look at the bowler, his expression shows it all. He's down on his knees with a helpless hand on head. Back of a length outside off, Mohammad swats a top-edge to short fine leg. It's the simplest of catches, yet down it goes

Ganapathy to JS Mohammad, no run, short ball on off, Mohammad backs away and wafts unconvincingly. Doesn't connect

Just 4 needed in the final over

Sunil Sam to Rohith, SIX, six more. All but seals the game. Rohith has produced the goods under pressure. Incredible. Full at the stumps, Rohith shuffles across and whips it over the long-leg ropes

Sunil Sam to Rohith, SIX, now this changes things. It changes things in a big way. Full ball, right in the slot, and it's been drilled over long-on's head

Sunil Sam to Rohith, no run, banged in short but there's plenty of width. Rohith slashes, but fails to make contact

Sunil Sam to JS Mohammad, 1 run, full toss on middle, whipped to deep mid-wicket

Sunil Sam to JS Mohammad, 1 run, possible run-out chance fluffed. Pitched right up on middle and off, Mohammad flicks to the left of long-on and rushes back. Rohith was struggling on the second run, and had Sam collected the throw, it could have been curtains. Oh dear, the umpire has called one short. All that risk for nothing

Sunil Sam to Rohith, leg byes, 1 run, sees Rohith walking across and follows him, Rohith misses his slog and is hit on the pad. The ball rolls towards off and comes agonizingly close before coming to a halt

Sunil Sam [3.0-0-24-0] is back into the attack

It's come down to 19 from 12

Ganapathy to Rohith, 1 run, slugged through mid-wicket for one

Ganapathy to JS Mohammad, 1 run, the bottom-hand came off as he tried to heave it away, skews it off the inside half through square leg
