Setup a portion of html page as scrollable

I want to setup the following layout to my page:
My desirable html layout
To split the page in two, I wrote:

    <style>
    body {
        font-family: Arial;
    }
    
    
    .split {
        height: 100%;
        width: 50%;
        position: fixed;
        z-index: 1;
        top: 0;
        overflow-x: hidden;
    }
    
    
    .left {
        left: 0;
    }

.right {
    right: 0;
....

and

<body>
        <div class="split left">
            .. content layout 1
        </div>
        <div class="split right">
            <div class="so">
                some content layout 2
            </div>
            <div class="layout3">
                .... long content ...
            </div>
    </body>

how can I setup Layout 3 to be scrollable, but not Layout 2?

    In your CSS, set the overflow property:

    .layout3 { overflow: scroll; }

    This will add scrollbars and allow scrolling of the long content in the layout3 box; you can find out more about overflow at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/overflow.

    If you don’t want the horizontal scrollbar, and the content is guaranteed to wrap and never be wider than the box, you can use

    .layout3 { overflow-y: scroll; }

    instead.

    To make the content scrollable, you need to specify a height, and add overflow-y: auto; or overflow-y: scroll;. This is the extra css:

    .layout3 {
    height: 80px;
    overflow-y: auto;
}

    .split {
    height: 100%;
    width: 50%;
    position: fixed;
    z-index: 1;
    top: 0;
    overflow-x: hidden;

}
.left {
    left: 0;
}
.right {
    right: 0;
}
.layout3 {
    background-color: cyan;
    height: 80px;
    overflow-y: scroll;
}
    <div class="split left">
    .. content layout 1
</div>
<div class="split right">
    <div class="so">
        some content layout 2
    </div>
    <div class="layout3">

    Here is an idea using CSS grid:

    body {
  margin: 0;
  height: 100vh;
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: repeat(2, minmax(0, 1fr));
  grid-template-rows: min-content auto;
}

.layout1 {
  grid-row: span 2;
}
.layout3 {
  contain: size;
  overflow: auto;
}


body > * {
  border: 1px solid;
  padding: 10px;
}
    <div class="layout1">
  .. content layout 1
</div>
<div class="layout2">
  some content layout 2 Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Quisque pulvinar semper condimentum. r</div>
<div class="layout3">
  Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Quisque pulvinar semper condimentum. Class aptent taciti sociosqu ad litora torquent per conubia nostra, per inceptos himenaeos. Etiam tristique justo fermentum cursus hendrerit. Vivamus varius, eros ornare rhoncus finibus, mauris ante sagittis erat, at laoreet enim ante quis quam. Cras dolor tellus, mattis ac posuere in, tempor id erat. In ac ipsum sit amet magna rhoncus convallis sit amet ac felis. Donec ligula dolor, lacinia in ante vel, luctus venenatis velit. Ut scelerisque, risus sed scelerisque varius, leo augue viverra sapien,

}

body {
  display: flex;
  flex-flow: column wrap;
  height: 100vh;
