Karnataka vs Jammu & Kashmir Live Score, Ranji Trophy Final: Shubham Pundir slams ton to lead Jammu and Kashmir's run charge against Karnataka

Toss and early exchanges - In a high-stakes encounter at Hubballi, Jammu and Kashmir captain Paras Dogra won a crucial toss and opted to bat first in their maiden Ranji Trophy final. The decision seemed justified by the end of the first session, as J&K reached 104/1 at the lunch break. Yawer Hassan showed immense temperament against a new ball that was moving significantly in the early hour. While several deliveries beat the outside edge, the pair survived the initial burst from Karnataka’s pacers to provide a steady start. 

LUNCH ON DAY 1 - 104 runs have been scored off 34 overs for the loss of one wicket for Jammu and Kashmir.
