50-run partnership between Karthik, Indrajith

Himachal goes up in huge appeals for catch behind against Karthik but the danger man is given not out. Himachal go to their main spinner, Mayank Dagar, with this partnership building along nicely. Expect to see plenty of sweep shots from Karthik against the spinner. 50 partnership comes up, off 63 balls.

TN 92/4 after 25

Dinesh Karthik goes on offensive

Dinesh Karthik has seen enough! Swings for the fence. Six! The first 6 of the day. Two balls later, DK swings again for another six. Galetiya the unfortunate bowler. DK smashes him for a third six as he returns in his next over. DK into his 30s.

TN 85/4 after 23

Himachal keep TN under pressure

DK and Indrajith are forced to see their way in. Tamil Nadu's score at the moment not something they would be used to. Both batsmen still in single digits.

TN 60/4 after 20

Tamil Nadu 4 down in 15th over

Another strike for Dhawan! Another catch pouched in the slips. Murugan Ashwin gone for 7. Rishi Dhawan on 2/15 in the final. What a tournament the Himachal skipper has had. Baba Indrajith comes out at 6 to join Karthik.

Dinesh Karthik enters at 5

What this promotion for these tail-enders also means that someone like Shahrukh Khan will bat at 9 today. The sun is starting to come out in Jaipur, this pitch will be a batting paradise once it dries out. For now, Sai Kishore and Ashwin trundle on. Till Sai Kishore offers a simple catch. Gone for 18.

TN 34/3 after 12

Tamil Nadu send in their spinners to protect batsmen

With Sai and Ashwin now batting at 3 and 4, one wonders when Tamil Nadu will think it safe to send out their regular batsmen - Shankar, Karthik, SRK, Sundar. 

TN 28/2 after 10

Rishi Dhawan strikes with 1st ball!

Rishi Dhawan strikes with his first ball! What an instant impact! Jagadeesan is caught behind for 9. Tamil Nadu's two in-form openers are back in the hut early. Murugan Ashwin pushed up to 4! Tamil Nadu seem desperate to save their middle order for when the moisture in the pitch dries up.

TN 17/2 after 6.1

Tamil Nadu settle in

Jagadeesan hits the first boundary of the final! It's tight otherwise though, Himachal's opening pace pair not letting Sai Kishore and Jagadeesan settle down. Galetiya now again strays on to the pads and Sai now gets his first boundary of the day.

TN 15/1 after 5

Early wicket for Himachal

Aparajith and N Jagadeesan open the innings for Tamil Nadu. Vinay Galetiya takes the new ball. And curls the ball into the stumps in the 1st over! Aparajith gone for 2. Sai Kishore sent in at 3.

TN 2/1 after 1.4
