Jammu & Kashmir: 584 (Pundir 121) and 342/4d (Iqbal 160*)

Karnataka: 293 (Mayank 160, Auqib Nabi 5/54)

Karnataka vs Jammu & Kashmir Live Score: One last over to play out with a 2:10 PM cut off time for a declaration to bring the match to a close, and you can see the weight of history settling on the shoulders of these remarkable players! It's Qamran and Sahil on the field, but the entire squad is ready at the boundary line to celebrate this momentous occasion!

67 years on from their first Ranji campaign, J&K have done it – handshakes in the middle, and what a moment! It's a win via a first-innings lead, but don't let that take away from what a dominant showing this has been!

Karnataka vs Jammu & Kashmir Live Score: Finally the hundred for Sahil Lotra! Has been nervous going in the last couple of overs, but he gets there – runs back and the helmet comes off. 72 in the first innings, 101* here.

No declaration just yet…

Karnataka vs Jammu & Kashmir Live Score: One exciting subplot going on as Karun Nair of all people putting all the pressure on Lotra, who has been stranded on 99* for a while now. Forced to see out two maidens from Karun! Last ball of this over, drives hard trying to pick the gap, but right at Prasidh Krishna – luckily for him, just on the bounce.

Karnataka vs Jammu & Kashmir Live Score: Both teams are about ready to be done with proceedings. Another small injury to a Karnataka player that is being tended to on-pitch. Umpires in no hurry to get things moving again either.

Karnataka vs Jammu & Kashmir Live Score: Another big six and Qamran Iqbal is able to reach the 150 mark! Has stepped up the attack in the last couple of overs as Mayank Agarwal rolls his arm over.

Karnataka vs Jammu & Kashmir Live Score: Huge hit from Iqbal! Gets a full toss and hammers it down the ground. Lead erupts past 600.

Karnataka vs Jammu & Kashmir Live Score: Sahil Lotra gets a move on! Things were getting very loose in the middle as Sahil is happy to take the attack now. First rocks back and pulls Gopal for a big six, then opens up the off-side and drives down the ground for four more.

He's onto 93*. J&K 304/4.

Karnataka vs Jammu & Kashmir Live Score: Still slow going in terms of any action. Sahil Lotra ticking along towards his own milestone. A brief injury here – KL Srijith has been in the wars after being asked to field in close, getting hurt on his finger in the first session, and now seeing the ball thud into his chest after being kicked away.

Karnataka vs Jammu & Kashmir Live Score: Action continues in Hoobli. Don't expect much change compared to how the first session went.

Reminder – 285/4, lead of 576.

Karnataka vs Jammu & Kashmir Live Score: That is it for the first session in Hoobli. Both batters carry their bats in from overnight, looking completely unbothered. Get a lovely round of applause from all involved – teammates, staff, CM Omar Abdullah. Karnataka rather trudge off, in comparison.

Karnataka vs Jammu & Kashmir Live Score: Not much to say about the on-field action at the minute. Approaching the end of the session – the question will be how much longer this match will be pushed forward with any chance for a result fading away.

Karnataka vs Jammu & Kashmir Live Score: Back into a holding pattern. Not much in this pitch even on Day 5, and these batters have been incredibly focused. Just a matter of seeing out this session, for starters.

Karnataka vs Jammu & Kashmir Live Score: Big slog sweep for six off Gopal takes Sahil Lotra to 78*! Not too far of a milestone himself suddenly. Nothing working for Karnataka, even now.

It's 274/4.

Karnataka vs Jammu & Kashmir Live Score: Second new ball taken out in Hoobli now, but the seamers rest their feet for the moment. Shreyas Gopal comes back on to get it started.

Karnataka vs Jammu & Kashmir Live Score: It's all happening! First ball is a juicy full-toss that Lotra hammers for six. Next ball draws an edge on the cut shot, and KL thinks he has his man – but his long-time teammate at first slip reacts late and shells it! Wry smile on Mayank's face, but KL doesn't see the funny side of it himself.

Karnataka vs Jammu & Kashmir Live Score: Tells you all you need to know, really. Karun Nair comes on, starts with a wide full toss, flayed by Lotra but sliced towards the deep point fielder. Vidyadhar doesn't react in time, and he doesn't get close enough to take the catch!

KL Rahul on for the next over. That time of the innings.

Karnataka vs Jammu & Kashmir Live Score: Another excellent innings from Sahil Lotra, reaches his half-century. His first innings was much much faster, but this one has shown his tenacity and ability to click back and forth between gears. Good innings.

Karnataka vs Jammu & Kashmir Live Score: Next milestone to track will be another half-century for Sahil Lotra, who has batted beautifully. On 37* now. The lead past 500. This is now a victory lap for J&K.

Karnataka vs Jammu & Kashmir Live Score: Great shot to bring up his ton! Rocks onto the back foot and punches it back down the ground, beats mid-on and that's his ton! The J&K CM applauding, all of his teammates applauding – great feat, but no massive celebrations from Iqbal. Back to attending to business.

Karnataka vs Jammu & Kashmir Live Score: Drama! Iqbal gets drawn into a drive by Shetty, who makes it grip and turn fantastically. Players appeal for catch and for stumping – and the standing umpire gives it out, is that for catch?! Iqbal is bemused and has the DRS to rely on – flat line on the ultraedge and his foot is grounded in time. Just a touch of drama!

Karnataka vs Jammu & Kashmir Live Score: Not rushed at all, this young man. Knows he has all the time in the world and willing to take it. With no demons in the pitch, he can afford to too.

Karnataka vs Jammu & Kashmir Live Score: Sahil Lotra dominating the scoring of the runs early on but things have been pretty quiet. Iqbal on 97* as the score reaches 198/4 – 489 lead.

Karnataka vs Jammu & Kashmir Ranji Trophy Final Live Updates: And we are set to go. Sahil Lotra takes strike first up, and surprisingly it's spin to get us going. And we are live!

Karnataka vs Jammu & Kashmir Ranji Trophy Final Live Updates: Counting down the clock until we are ready to go at 9.30 am IST. Thrills and spills likely to stay away, and we will probably see hands shaken relatively early by the two captains. But a chance for some more of J&K's cricket to be enjoyed, another tilt at the Karnataka batters maybe.
