Odinlass: "That's it. He has defended his title. Alcaraz wins!" --- And many thanks for the stream of updates, looks like it's King Carlos once more at Wimbledon.

9.10pm So the end of an extremely subpar batting effort from Jaffna. No one really managed to get in, and only a late tail-wag partnership pushed them beyond the 100-mark. Shadab Khan was excellent ending with figures of 4 for 10 as he ripped through the spine of the Jaffna batting line-up, but Jaffna didn't do themselves any favours with their short selection on a fairly sticky surface. We'll be back with the chase shortly.

Wijesundera to Malinga, OUT, Wicket off the last ball! Deserved for Wijesundara after those excellent grabs in the deep. This was full and straight, Malinga looks to swing this across the line. He's struck on the back pad in front of middle and replays show three reds. Jaffna end on 109 for 9
