Robbie Savage shakes hands with his team-mates as another full-time whistle goes. His latest gang of five lose 10-6, but he's still cruising along nicely with a seven-goal lead.

Sav looks cream crackered. He's been on the pitch for almost four hours now, only another eight hours of his endurance shift to go. 

He's one of five players, along with opposite skipper Alan Shearer, Danny Jones (of McFly fame), Josh Cuthbert (of Union J fame, I'm reliably informed) and Rachel Riley (Countdown's number cruncher), putting themselves through a gruelling 12-hour stint in the name of charity. We salute you! 

But someone, please, take a banana out to Robbie. If he doesn't load up on the carbohydrates soon then I might feel obliged to give him my pasta lunch. And I don't want to do that. I'm starving.

£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.

Despite my inane ramblings and hyper-critical analysis of Robbie's performance, let's not forget (I'm sure you haven't) that all of these japes are for a great cause....

The second half has just begun in the latest of our 30-minute games - and it is a thriller! Shearer's side are winning the battle 8-5, but Savage's mob are winning the war. They're 35-27 ahead on aggregate.

You can tell these latest lot of players are stand-up comedians - plenty of verbals out there. One Scouse voice is continuing to chirp at Savage. He's not biting. Clearly mellowing in his advancing years.

Hip-hop DJ and promoter Fatman Scoop and the Radio 1 Xtra crew will be turning out later this afternoon. He's never played football before...

Look at that steely glare after Shearer bagged. Clinical.

We're here to please Chris...

A decent crowd is gathering around this purpose-built pitch at Salford's MediaCity. Well it is lunchtime after all. Why sit in a warm pub, or wander around the nearby shopping centre, when you can see some footballing fun. Especially when it is all for a good cause!

No divine inspiration for BBC Religion and Ethics - they were thumped 12-1. That takes us on to two teams of 'Stand Ups'. I'm presuming that means stand-up comedians. But will it be the Manc wags (Shearer) or the Scouse jesters (Savage) who will be laughing?

Wishing you had signed up to take part in this footballing fun? It's not too late.

Head over to this page, fill in the form - or email 5aside@bbc.co.uk - and then do plenty of warm-up exercises if you get the nod.  

Even Rio Ferdinand is interested in what is happening. Fancy a game mate?

In the time it takes to make a quick brew, Shearer's side have conceded about six goals. The One Show's Angelica Bell comes on for the losing side - they need Manchester City legend Colin Bell in his pomp if they are going to turn this one around.

Savage's team must be on a goal bonus. No mercy as they lead 9-0 (nine), giving Robbie a healthy advantage on aggregate.

England goalkeeper Joe Hart is one of today's high profile participants...

One of the BBC Religion and Ethics players - a dark-haired girl called Abigail - has never played football. Woah, hang on! I'm not coming to that conclusion by judging her touch, we've just been reliably provided with this information by commentator John Murray.

Abigail looks to have a similar level of ability to Robbie Savage, however. She almost makes a fool of the Welshman, sidestepping around him but is denied a debut goal by the keeper.
