End of the round, then.

Phil's on six, Matt in front on 11.

APPLAUSE

We have a Sports Action for you now.

Make a note of the stars you see.

Just a little trickle... Yes, he can!

Well done. Home in 30.

This is going to be a nail-biting last second.

And what a finish. What a finish.

Lots of energy into that element.

Lovely style, lovely control, right to the very end.

Oh, I think that's out.

Inside edge from Marcus Trescothick.

Oh, he has played it.

Oh, yes, it certainly does!

It's his first goal for the club.

Beautifully taken by him.

A try for South Africa.

It is time to fill in a crossword.

You'll take it in turns to use the surnames of the stars

you saw to fill in the gaps.

-And, Phil, as you are trailing, you get to go first.

-Right.

Would it be Pietersen? JP Pietersen?

-Yeah.

-Is it a PIE-tersen or a Peterson?

-Cos it's South African.

-Got to be an IE, hasn't it?

-Yeah.

-How many letters?

Can you spell... Do you know how to spell Pietersen?

P-I-E-T-E-R-S-O-N.

-Yeah?

-Does that fit it?

-Right.

-Three across.

Go on, mate, you got that. Go for your life.

-Three across.

-Pieterson.

OK. Let's see.

-It is.

-Beautiful.

-Well done. APPLAUSE

Good work, good work.

Back in the game.

-Daws.

-Well, I think you're...

I think you're bang on here.

-I mean, that must be, though?

-Must be.

-Yeah.

Go for it.

Four across, Page.

Four across, Page.

-Yes, good work, good work.

We've got this.

Holing a putt at the PGA Championship at Wentworth.

-Oh.

I think we might know that one.

There you go. Two down.

OK.

Mascherano.

Well done. Javier Mascherano.

APPLAUSE

Right, well, we're going to...

I think we should go for the point, mate. Go on.

Well done again.

APPLAUSE

Did you have that, Tuffers?

-Ah...

-Close.

-Something similar.

-Very close.

Right, so we think the boxer is...

Aw, do you know that?

Yeah, I think so.

One down, Sue - Campbell.

-Yes!

-Well done.

APPLAUSE

And, Daws, have you got it?

Oh, of course it is.

-No, I've got it.

-Have you?

-Yeah.

-He hasn't.

-Yes, I have, I have.

I have.

I'll lay good money that you haven't.

-Yes, I have.

-Got him.

-You just thought of a name that fits in there.

-No, I haven't.

-I've got it. Have you witnessed that, Ross?

-I have.

-Yeah.

-And where's that supposed to fit in? There?

It's supposed to fit in there, but we can shoehorn it in a bit.

LAUGHTER

-Ugh...

-What you going for?

I'm going to go... Say V.

-Just V?

-V.

-Begin with V.

-V-O-N.

V...

-Vor.

-V... Vor...

Vorj... Vorjan.

-You're going Vorjan?

-Vorjan.

No, surprisingly.

-Go with it.

-Right, Tuffers, you've got one guess.

Well, I thought it was Grosjean, but it doesn't fit, does it?

-No.

-So we're going to just...

-Correct.

..we're going to just swap the letters about and say Gorjan.

-Oh!

-Oh, I think it is a G.

-So close.

There is a G. Here it is, it is...

-Goffin.

-Goffin!

-Goffin.

-Oh, no!

-No idea.

-David Goffin.

The Belgian tennis star. That's who we were looking for.

Anyway, bad luck, no point there,

but end of the round,

Phil's on ten, Matt in front on 14.

APPLAUSE

It's time for a new quickfire round called The Accumulator.

Each team will have 45 seconds to answer as many questions as possible

Well done. mate.

Good. In the game. Still in. Still in the game.

So, 11. That's your starting number.

Right, let's have a look. Right, Arsenal.

United. Chelsea.

-Yeah.

-You reckon higher?

-I think it would be higher than ten.

Yeah? Well, we've just come with a run there.

If you can name that many.

Funnily enough, most of them were during when I played.

LAUGHTER

Oh, Mark and Steve!

-Oh, it's got to be higher. Higher, Sue.

-Going higher?

-Yeah.

It is, yes.

APPLAUSE

And others I didn't hear you say were Mike Hussey, Neil Harvey.

-Oh, Huss?

-Yeah.

-Yeah, OK.

And finally, Matt, back to your team.

Was the number of different countries to win a cycling gold

at the Rio Olympics higher or lower than 13?

-Right, so ten on the track, GB won six.

-Yes.

Then in road racing, we had four...

There was four medals available.

And how... We don't know about these, we're question-marking

-these, are we?

-That's definite.

Oh, OK. But we've got that there.

-Yeah, that's definitely five. Yeah.

-But as countries go...

-So we've got five.

-Five different countries.

-Six, seven.

How many more medals are there?

Which are the seven that you've got that are definite?

GB, Germany, Holland, China, Italy, America, Switzerland.

APPLAUSE

Belgium and Sweden and Columbia.

So, end of the round

and Phil is on 16,

Matt in front on 18.

APPLAUSE

Another new round now, the Roll Of Honour.

You'll be answering questions on golfing legend Seve Ballesteros.

But before we get to the questions, sit back and take a look at some of

the reasons why he is considered one of the greatest ever.

Stay still if you don't mind, please.

I know you're nervous, but I am, too.

LAUGHTER

Oh, yes, he's at it again.

He really is charged up.

I suppose this is what it means by having your adrenaline flowing,

I suppose. He's up, he's running, he's jumping, he's hurling.

He really is. He's extraordinary.

Swings quite a way from there.

He's got the pace, he has, it's there!

That's the magic we're waiting for.

..it's unforgettable.

I look back 20 years ago,

I would never have thought I was going to be so high.

Ballesteros is the champion.

What a special champion.

OK. It's question time now and they are worth one,

two and three points respectively.

So, Phil, we're going to start with you. Here's your one point.

-Yes.

-Seve was paired with which player a record number of times in

-the Ryder Cup?

-Olazabal.

It was, Jose Maria Olazabal. Well done.

Matt, for one point, in which year did Seve help Europe to their first

Ryder Cup success?

1997.

Oh, sorry, not as a captain.

No, it didn't say captain.

So you know what it was.

It was... '85.

So no point there.

-'85?

-So, Phil, your two point question.

Seve became world number one for the first time in 1986,

taking over from which fellow European?

Oh, that's a good shout. '86. It's a belter.

-He was around then, weren't he?

-This could put you in the lead.

Shh, Sue!

THEY MUTTER

Langer. I think Langer.

Langer.

Bernhard Langer is the right answer!

Great. Well done.

That's me, I'm off!

Well done. So, Matt, for your two points,

on which course did Seve win the Open Championship twice?

I can't get Lytham out of my head.

Go with it.

Go with your heart.

-Lytham.

-You've gone for Lytham.

'79 and '88, he won it at Royal Lytham and St Andrews.

-Yes!

-Yes. Get in there.

-Well done.

Now, for three points,

in which year was Seve and Greg Norman beaten by Larry Mize in a

play-off at the Masters?

Oh, I remember it. Larry Mize chipped in, as well, didn't he?

Larry Mize chipped in.

I'm terrible on years.

What was it at the Masters?

It's probably... It must be...

'80...

'80s. We're thinking '87.

What are you thinking?

We're thinking exactly the same.

Oh, but do you believe him?

-Go with it.

-Fancy it?

-Can't go anywhere else.

-No.

-We've got to.

-Come on, Sue, '87.

It's right!

Here's Matt's three point question.

Seve captained...

-Captained.

-Captained.

-Yes, yes.

-..European Ryder Cup team at Valderrama in '97.

Who was the opposing captain?

Oh, come on.

No!

Come on, I can see his face now.

Have you got that?

I have got that.

Not a chance you got that.

Yeah...

LAUGHTER

I can see his face now...

He had more hair than that though. He had a bit more hair.

-Ben Crenshaw.

-No.

-Going to have a guess?

-Well, I've just got Kite or Pavin.

Kite might be a good shout.

It was Tom Kite, Tom Kite.

AUDIENCE: Wooo!

-I don't know about this.

-That looks like Tom Kite.

It does look a bit like Tom Kite.

Crenshaw was '99.

-Was he?

-So close.

Matt is on 20, but Phil is in front on 22.

Well, this will decide it,

we are ending the show with a Sprint Finish.

And, Matt, you are going first.

-Yes.

-Out you come.

-Come on then, here we go.

Let's have it, let's have it.

I need full focus.

Come on, team. Feel it.

Feel it, I love it.

Are you ready? Go.

Oh, it's this one.

-At the...

-Start, sprinting.

-Yeah. And the whole race.

-100 metres.

-Hurdles.

-Yes. Yes, yes, yes.

-Oh.

-Break dancing.

Who's that footballer?

-Oh, erm...

-Very tall.

But I'm doing this.

-Oh, Crouch.

-Yes. What's his first name?

-Pan, something Pan.

-Peter Crouch.

-Yeah.

Oh, I'm running and then at the end it's very close.

Marathon... Sprint finish.

-Photo finish.

-Yes, yes, yes.

Yes.

-American football.

-Baseball.

-That position. He takes the ball, he throws the ball.

-Pass, I'm useless.

Not half. What's half of a half?

-Quarter.

-Quarterback.

And what does Santa put his presents in?

-Sack.

-Yes! Done.

Oh, you race on this.

-Velodrome.

-Yes, you do.

-Yes, go!

WHISTLE BLOWS

Oh, we'll take that, well played.

Good effort.

-Oh, you scored five points.

-Oh!

A lot of work for five, a lot of work for five.

Tuffers, up you come.

Come on.

Come on!

-Four to win.

-Come on.

-No, the cap, it's a nickname...

The cap. Nickname.

-Correct.

-Yes.

Oh, the Kiwis have never been beaten there at rugby.

-All Blacks.

Load of money, plays for Man United, not very good, I think.

-Rooney!

-No, no.

-Ibrahimovic!

-No, no, midfielder.

Pogba!

Pogba!

Pogba...

So you ran out of time with Pogba, I'm afraid.

But you needed four to win...

and you scored five.

Well done.
