  1. High, lows...and pizza

    Like any true athlete, McFly's Danny Jones peaked after a pizza.

    Now he's only got a few minutes left before he hands over to Alan Shearer. 

    Go on, Danny boy. You can do it!

  2. Best goal contender: cheeky chip

    What about this naughty effort from Paul Morrey. Tekkers. 

    Dave Morey scores with a cheeky chip to leave the goalie flat on his back.

  3. Best goal contender: straight from the kick-off

    It's an old trick but a good one...

    Team Shearer are caught off guard by a goal right at the start of the second half.

  4. Sport Relief

    Best goal contender: foot like a traction engine

    When the final whistle sounds at the Battle of the Five-A-Sides at 6.14pm on Saturday, Alan Shearer and Robbie Savage will pick their favourite goal. Here is a reminder of a few of the contenders so far. 

    First up is the Sun's Freddie Nathan, who scored this belter from inside his own half...

    How about this for a first time shot from the half way line?

  5. Pre-school warm-up

    Shearer 5s 228-222 Savage 5s

    Danny's taking a bit of a break from playing to referee Burnage Academy for boys v Stretford High. 

    And Team Shearer have taken a sensational 6-2 lead.

    The little lads are playing in hoods it's so cold out there...

  7. Oh the weather outside is frightening

    It may be snowing heavily here in Salford but that isn't stopping our intrepid five-a-siders, who are now using a yellow ball. Here's BBC Weather's Simon King with the latest on the conditions...

  8. Take a bow Danny Jones

    The McFly man has been playing all night long and is still going strong in his final hour. He's looking far fresher than Robbie Savage at this stage of his endurance shift yesterday!

    You can watch him in action by pressing play at the top of the page, where big John Hartson is currently the man in black...

  9. Good morning!

    Shearer 5s 222-220 Savage 5s

    Welcome back to the Sport Relief #5liveaside challenge live text!

    Some of us have had a nice sleep...

    Others - like McFly's Danny Jones - have endured the overnight stint on the pitch in Salford...in snow....in shorts. Brrrrrrrrrrrr.

    34 hours and counting...and it's Alan Shearer's boys who lead by two goals.

    .Getty Images

    Keep them eyes open, Danny boy.

  10. It's a game of... er, 57 hours

    Shearer 5s 122-130 Savage 5s

    The Sport Relief pitch has now seen 13 hours of continuous play and a whopping 252 goals.

    Thanks to everyone who's made their way down to the not-so-sunny Salford Quays today to take part. And it's far from over yet - there are still 46 hours left on the clock.

    You can continue watching all the action throughout the small hours by clicking/pressing the play button at the top of this page.

    And watch out for former Nottingham Forest, Spurs, Newcastle and England midfielder Jermaine Jenas on Question Time at 10.45pm. You can find that programme in the Live Coverage tab, as well as Up All Night with Rhod Sharp.

    We'll be back with live updates from 7.30am tomorrow. Keep watching, keep tweeting - and keep donating! See you at sunrise when Danny from McFly will still be buzzing round the pitch.

  11. The best of the battle so far...

    If watching 57 hours of football isn't your bag, then here's a handy two-minute clip of some of today's highlights.

    It was like rolling back the years with the old celebration, it was good to be back scoring goals again

    Alan Shearer

    I've made some great tackles... and I'm going to do some more

    Robbie Savage

    Highlights from the first twelve hours of Sport Relief: Battle of the Five-A-Sides.

  12. Time for Mourinho mind games?!

    Shearer 5s 121-128 Savage 5s

    Well just like the Premier League title race, it's anyone's guess who's going to win this one. Savage was 15 goals up earlier, then Shearer sneaked ahead and now Robbie is back in front by 7 goals. Let's see if either of our captains deploy some psychological tactics to win the battle of the 5-a-sides.

  13. "I'm looking forward to the finish"

    Danny from McFly is looking forward to the finish. Don't worry, you've only got 11 hours to go. It'll be fine Danny, it's not as if it's cold and raining. Honestly Danny, it's not. It's just a figment of your imagination.

  14. Team Savage are McFlying!

    Shearer 5s 118-121 Savage 5s

    Well ok maybe I'm exaggerating just slightly, but they are five nil up and are now leading by three goals overall. Savage's pep talk to Danny from McFly has obviously done the trick.

  15. "The highlight has been a few sliding tackles"

    A very tired and wet Sav gives us his verdict:

    Well for the first three or four hours I was running around like I did when I was in the youth team, but then I remembered I'm over 40 and my legs started to hurt.

    The highlight has been a few sliding tackles. It's been great seeing so many people get involved - young and old, even walking football.

    I went to India a few weeks ago and saw what the money goes towards and it's such a good cause, so please keep donating.

    Robbie you're a legend. Take a bow.

    And don't forget you can donate here

  16. Savage completes 12 hour footy marathon
    Breaking

    So after 720 minutes of football, Robbie has completed his half day of playing the beautiful game.

  17. 12 hours is a long time in football

    Towards the end of his substantial shift, Robbie took some time to advise Danny Jones on strategies for a 12 hour stint on the pitch.

    Don't go too soon. I went all out early on, I was trying impress everyone.

    Sage Savage passes on his wisdom to newbie Danny Jones

    Will Danny heed his words? Stay tuned to find out.

  18. Savage is off the bench for the last time...

    With less than five minutes to go, Robbie is on for the last time. It's cold and raining and he's struggling to move. Keep going Sav. You can do it.

  19. 10 minutes to go Robbie

    Shearer 5s 116 - 115 Savage 5s

    Mr Savage has just ten minutes to go. He opened the Sport Relief account at 9.18am with the first goal of this epic battle. Can he score the last goal of his twelve hour stint? 

    One goal will bring his team level. Come on Robbie, channel your inner Ronaldo.

  20. How to donate to Sport Relief

    You can show your support by donating to Sport Relief here  

    £25 could enable a disadvantaged child in Bangladesh to take part in sports activities for a year, improving their health, wellbeing and confidence.

    £50 could pay for a disadvantaged young person in the UK to go on a sports coaching course giving them the skills they need to find work. 

    £70 could train a volunteer to run football and HIV awareness sessions for young people in a South African township.

    Any amount, however small, will help make a difference.
