13:30 An engaging contest and a deserved win for Oxford.
13:29 FULL-TIME
13:27 Double sub for Oxford. Desai on for Hall and Flood on for Squires.
13:25 We have 4 minutes of added time . . . Cambridge have come to life.
13:24 Cambridge get their chance. They break well after the corner but the resulting shot rolls gently to Whylly.
13:23 Kelly nearly kills the game off for Oxford but Ferguson saves well. Oxford hit the post from the resulting corner.
13:22 This game is fizzling out, where is our grande finale?
13:20 Some people are waving their shoes above their heads . . .
13:18 Cambridge sub: Harrison on for Baxter.
13:16 A hopeful punt from Cambridge drifts out of play. Oxford fare looking armchair comfortable at the moment.
13:14 Cambridge Sub: Hartley on for Burrows.
13:12 Oxford captain Wherry makes an important diving clearance. This might just be the start of a final big push from the Light Blues.
13:10 Amos' looping header is brilliantly saved by Whylly.
13:08 Cambridge captain Rutt is down and the physio is coming on. A chance for a breather. Cambridge have quarter of an hour to come up with a goal. They are going to need to pick things up.
13:06 Another great chance for Toogood, who skies it from just inside the box. This is much more like the first-half, with Oxford in charge. Will they be made to pay for these missed chances?
13:04 Great chance for Oxford to wrap things up. They have 3 on 2 and Knight plays Toogood through. But he pulls the ball back when he should really have shot.
13:02 Ferguson claims well from an Oxford free-kick.
13:00 A Cambridge corner comes to nothing.
12:58 Amos tricks his way into the Oxford box but his cross is easily cut out.
12:56 McCrickerd kicks the ball away and gets a telling-off from Mr Webb.
12:54 Cambridge are pushing hard. Rutt puts in a cross from the left and Whylly has to tip it over.
12:51 So close. Burrows gets on the end of the corner but it hits team-mate Amos on the line.
12:50 Cross in from the left and Whylly fumbles it under pressure but its scrapped behind for a corner.
12:48 Cambridge break but Rutt fails to control the ball and it runs out of play.
12:46 Cambridge sub: Day on for Hakimi
12:44 Whylly punches a cross clear and manages to give Amos another thump.
12:42 If the first-half was pedestrian, this is snail-like. . .
12:40 And we're off again
12:23 HALF-TIME
12:22 Oxford free-kick from 30 yards has Ferguson scrambling and just misses the upright
12:20 A half-decent call for a Cambridge penalty. A fairly agricultural challenge on Johnson but Howard is not interested.
12:18 We have 3 minutes of injury time. I have no idea where this number has come from.
12:16 Toogood cuts it back to McCrickerd who curls his shot wide. Oxford have had all the chances.
12:14 McCrickerd lights up proceedings with a great bit of skill to beat two players. Suddenly a sense of urgency about both sides as we approach the interval.
12:12 A scramble in the Cambridge box but the ball is finally cleared.
12:10 Toogood is denied by a finger-tip save from the flying Ferguson.
12:07 The pace at the moment is that of a leisurely summer stroll.
12:05 Whylly, who has been rock-solid so far, comfortably deals with a hopeful cross.
12:03 Great chance for Oxford but Kelly directs his header across goal. They look the most likely to score at the moment.
12:01 Cambridge's defence not only fail to clear, but two defenders end up on their backsides. McCrickerd blasts over.
11:59 We now have aerial ping pong.
11:56 Stark has Cambridge's best chance so far but can't lift it over Whylly.
11:55 A scruffy tackle-fest in the middle. Howard steps in to put an end to it.
11:52 A very respectable crowd and people are still coming in. Little for them to get excited about at the moment.
11:49 Early candidate for worst miss of the day. Oxford break and Hall misses an absolute sitter from 6 yards.
11:48 Cambridge with lots of possession but very little penetration.
11:46 No nonsense keeping from Whylly., winning the ball and giving Amos a considerable thump in the process. The physio is on. The Oxford "ladz" are not sympathetic.
11:44 First effort from Cambridge, a tame shot from Johnson.
11:42 GOAL Oxford 1 Cambridge 0
Great ball though the middle from McCrickerd and HALL places his shot neatly into the bottom right. This should liven things up.
11:40 A Cambridge corner comes to nothing.
11:37 A corner to Oxford nearly gives us our first goal. No marking, free header and Ferguson has to be alert to make a good save down to his right.
11:36 A small group of Oxford fans are making a valiant attempt to create a bit of atmosphere. A slow start.
11:34 And we're off
11:30 Today's ref is none other than Howard Webb, widely considered the best ref in the land.
11:29 Starting line-ups
Oxford: Whylly, Farr, Squires, Hodgson, Wherry (c)), Weston, McCrickerd, Knight, Toogood, Kelly, Hall
Cambridge: Ferguson, Maynard, Little, Hakimi, Brown, Burrows, Baxter, Stark, Amos Johnson, Rutt (c)
11:28 The teams are out and its national anthem time.
11:22 Ground is not very full but there is a bit of a buzz building. The Zutons are booming from the speakers.
11:15 The overall record: Oxford Wins - 48, Cambridge Wins - 49, Draws -27, Oxford Goals: 196, Cambridge Goals - 197. Couldn't be much closer. . .
11:12 Welcome to the 124th Varsity Match
