  3. Watson on the pitch

    Shearer 5s 312-277 Savage 5s

    Mark Watson has exited the commentary box and has taken to the pitch!

    He's playing on Team Shearer, representing Streetwise, against Liverpool Homeless for Team Savage. It's 2-1 to Shearer. 

    One kid is playing in a hooded puffer jacket. Fair play.

  4. Catch me if you can

    Shearer 5s 309-274 Savage 5s

    Team Savage won that one 5-1 and they're creeping up in the aggregate score.

    And in breaking weather news....it looks like it's finally stopped snowing. Hurrah!

  5. Team Savage ahead

    Shearer 5s 309-273 Savage 5s

    A lovely goal from Charlotte on Team Savage. The red number six is clean through and gently strokes the ball home.

    It's 4-1 to Robbie's side. 

  6. Can Shearer be caught?

    Shearer 5s 308-273 Savage 5s

    Is the comeback on?

    Robbie Savage's side are 3-0 up in this mini-game between two Manchester academy sides and are clawing their way back in the aggregate scores.

    Comedian Mark Watson, who is in the commentary box, has likened it to Liverpool's Champions League comeback circa  2005.

  8. Textbook Walker

    In case you missed it earlier, here's BBC Breakfast presenter Dan Walker being ridiculous on a five-a-side pitch.

  9. No mucking about

    Shearer 5s 308-271 Savage 5s

    Team Savage only needed 20 seconds to take the lead! No time wasting here. 1-0.

    If you tune in to the live footage - at the top of this page or on the Red Button - you'll hear co-commentary from comedian Mark Watson.

  10. Shearer out in front

    Shearer 5s 308-270 Savage 5s

    It's still snowing and there's still goals galore here in Salford. Now it's time for two FA Schools teams to get on the pitch.

    Robbie Savage's side have a lot of catching up to do - they're trailing Alan Shearer by 38 with 28 hours to go.

  11. Show your support for Sport Relief

    #thisstuffworks

    Writer GK Chesterton once said that "an inconvenience is an adventure wrongly considered", so if you're avoiding the great Salford outdoors today because of the weather, have a word with yourself and get down to MediaCity UK to support.

    A big thank you to everyone who's playing or spectating in the wintry conditions. Here's a reminder why we're all here.

  12. En pointe

    It was hard to be balletic on today's slippery surface but that didn't worry the The Birmingham Royal Ballet Dancers...

  13. Pair of hackers

    It's actually quite appropriate that Alan should be pictured with Hacker the Dog after this incident earlier today...

    Alan Shearer gives a hard tackle to a player who had just nutmegged him.

    To be fair to Alan, he does take the ball first, unlike his opposing skipper yesterday...

    The crowd call for Robbie Savage to leave the pitch after a wild slide tackle.

  15. Back to it

    Shearer 5s 306-266 Savage 5s

    Right, I've calmed down from the hilarity of that last contest.

    Up now are two businesses: Supersede media v Orega.

  16. Identity of newspaper hat man revealed...

    Meet Kevin Hornby - "like the trains" - from Chorlton in South Manchester. Kevin, who has been joined by Denton resident Tom Monks in the camouflage hat, has been watching for almost four hours in the snow.

    Dedicated supporters: Kevin Hornby & Tom Monks

    Hats of the day: Kevin Hornby & Tom Monks

    It's my copy of the Metro so it's a free hat and it's kept my hair in place. I didn't think I'd stay this long but it's been that good

    Kevin Hornby, Newspaper hat man

    We're giving those ladies at Ascot a run for their money... and we're better looking too

  17. A Savage win!

    Shearer 5s 306-266 Savage 5s

    It's full-time! Robbie Savage's side FINALLY grab a win. It finished 10-6. 

    Has everyone out there survived Dan Walker's body-sliding tackles?

  18. Another Riley special

    Shearer 5s 306-266 Savage 5s

    On the pitch...a yellow card for BBC Radio 5 live's George Riley, whose sliding tackles are getting more and more frequent.

    Off the pitch...Alan Shearer is talking to Hacker the Dog. 

    What a day to be alive.

    Pat Nevin has described it as roly-poly tackling. I don't know if I have the words to explain it. 

  20. The beached whale effect

    Shearer 5s 305-265 Savage 5s

    These BBC media planning boys have been practising. A beautifully laid-off ball is dinked in from close range. They're 9-5 ahead. 

    I'm also struggling to type for laughing so much. Dan Walker and team-mate are trying to slide their entire bodies on the pitch to make a tackle. They look like beached whales. I'm crying.
