11.20pm: Time for the presentations. Titans captain Shubman Gill: "Like to finish it early but good to get those two points. [Responsibility] Out there, I just want to play as a batter, not thinking about captaincy. [Livingstone reaction] He was trying to rush me. The ball I got out to, I would have made that decision whatever [the bowler was doing]."

Player of the match is R Sai Kishore: "Trying to give 120% for the team, playing after some time I was enjoying myself and giving my best. Be fearless and play for the team, whatever the result is. Into the wicket, change of pace was the way to go. Rashid and Noor bowled beautifully."

Okay, that's a wrap for tonight. Andrew Fidel Fernando was on the live blog and he'll be writing this one up for you. Stick around for the usual analysis and we'll be back for more tomorrow. Thanks for your comments. Bye!

Sam Curran: [10-15 short?] "Yeah. The effort with the ball was incredible, the fight from the team was amazing. Wasn't meant to be again. They've got some world-class spinners and Sai Kishore bowled really well. I thought we got up to a decent score but they got over the line in the end. Anything above 160-165 would have been tough. I thought the way we bowled we gave ourselves a chance. We lost wickets in clusters. Know what we need to do know, can't lose many more games."

11.10pm: Tewatia the Titans hero, after another stuttering display with the bat. Who knows, if Kings hadn't folded quite so badly in the middle of their innings and got up to 160, that could very well have been a winning score. Instead, they lose in front of their home fans for the fourth game in a row and continue to languish in the standings

too straight, glanced to the boundary, Titans win by three wickets! It was far from convincing but GT give their campaign a lift with a fourth victory to move back into the midtable mix

Harshal to Rashid Khan, OUT

full toss, scooped to midwicket! Titans continue to make a meal of the chase. Rashid picks out Rossouw for a good, low catch, smiles and walks off. Anyone else want to hit the winning run?

yorked him! Full with pace off and it dips under the bat, flicks the boot and then hits off stump. Beautifully bowled but probably too late for Kings

"When a batter goes for a switch-hit, shouldn't the 'leg side' be switched as well?" That's one for the law-makers, Shivang

16.1
Harpreet Brar to Tewatia, no run

Tewatia looks to reverse, pinned in front... but not given! And Kings have reviewed. This is going to be close. Did it pitch outside leg? Was there any glove involved? Nothing on UltraEdge but the ball did land outside leg stump (at least, theoretically leg stump, until Tewatia turned himself around in his stance). But that's the Law as it stands, so stays not out
