Commentator Cracknell, who is in a boat on the river, says: “Incredibly competitive … the Cambridge cox is in shallower water, Oxford have got deeper and faster water and they are putting a lot of pressure on Cambridge now.”
Oxford continue to lead but it’s still close. It’s around a two to three-seat lead for Oxford, and this would be a huge win for them if they can hang on.
After four minutes of racing, Oxford have powered back into the lead for a two-seat lead … but the umpire again warns Levy about the line. There is no graphic on screen about how much of the 4.89km course is left, but we are told they are 1,500m into the race.
