14:24 Update from our Yorker correspondent watching the crickets at 22 acres: "The only thing dropping faster than Lancaster wickets is the temperature. It must be about -4, and the wind looks strong enough to blow emo over. One suspects it would require a force nine to topple Hudson."

14:21 Rugby men's 3rds 7s kick off and Lancaster are on the attack straight away but York defend and break through Pete Terraga 60 yards down the right wing to score uunder the posts. No conversion. York 5-0 up after 2 minutes!

14:08 York has won two of the squash matches. Results coming up soon.

14:05 Emo's length is still making things hard for Lancaster's batsmen. And a wicket! with a third LBW, it's 70-6.

14:03 Random trivia: like every year, Lancaster's rugby players have bleached their hair. They used to spray paint it red according to the colour of their rose, but it often ran and got in their eyes.

14:01 York hero Tom Hudson comes on. The first openly gay player to represent York, Hudson is an inspiration and role model to many.

13:58 The Lancaster number seven looks shaky: he drives with the confidence of a blind man behind the wheel of a Porsche in an oil slick.

13:50 Brilliant bowling from emo: his length is winning admiration from all present.

13:49 Men's 2nd XV captain Sam Dudley told The Yorker: "They think they're here on a jolly in York today, they're not. They're here to get a pasteing!"

13:47 Kendo demonstration currently taking place in the dance studio.

13:46 Wicket! The skipper takes a smart catch as Martin gets another: 55-3.

13:45 Rugby men's 3rd 7s update: Sun and rain can't decide if they're coming or going, but the wind is out in force so the kicking game will be hampered today. Both sides will want ball in hand down on the ground running at the opposition.

13:40 Martin is on fire, a wicket maiden. Legendary off spinner emo is on, into his wind. Let's hope his spell is as long and as succesful as his hair.

13:37 Elsewhere in the viewing gallery, spectators are excitedly chatting away while watching Men's 2nd squash.

13:36 Cricket update: Lancaster are dropping fast: fifty two for three.

11:45 Coming up: Indoor frisbee, cricket and squash.

11:34 Mens 2nds and mixed badminton seem to be finishing up soon. We'll have scores for you in a bit. Meanwhile, some mindless trivia: did you know the badminton shuttlecock has the highest top speed compared any other racket sport?! Badminton first became an olympic sport in 1992.

11:21 Cricket is delayed until 12.30 according to a member of the Lancaster cricket team, allegedly caused by York's very own team who were not informed of starting time.
