9:08pm The Titans have huffed and puffed their way to 133, which might not seem a lot but definitely gives them something to bowl at, on a surface that has not been very conducive to stroke-making. That total was possible because Shanaka found the fence with some sort of regularity towards the end. Apart from that, though, none of the other batters really got used to the conditions.
Dambulla Aura need to be given credit for how they bowled, although they would have liked to have bowled tighter lines towards the end. Their spinners did the bulk of the damage in the middle overs, with Priyanjan picking two and Noor getting the better of Shakib. Binura was superb too, both at the start and at the end and they will back themselves to get the job done, especially with the firepower at their disposal. Join us in a bit for the run-chase!
CAK Rajitha run out 1 (5b 0x4 0x6) SR: 20.00
Getting bat to ball should be at the top of Rajitha's agenda...
Rajitha walks in, with five balls left in the innings
SMLD Samarakoon run out 6 (10b 0x4 0x6) SR: 60.00
One over left. How many can the Titans get off Binura in this last over?

Ngarava in at 9. Hasan goes around the wicket
MD Shanaka c Samarawickrama b Hasan Ali 36 (26b 5x4 0x6) SR: 138.46
A false start as Hasan loses control of the ball while loading up and ends up hurling it towards mid on. Good that Shanaka did not chase after it....
A bit of momentum for the Titans and their skipper is at the forefront of it. Can Shanaka get them to 140? Hasan to bowl the penultimate over
