End of twitter postBut it still doesn't quite explain why we're very firmly in place in the bottom right-hand corner of the leader board!
Norway give their vote with a man in a maskpublished at 23:19 British Summer Time 12 May 2018
So most of the countries giving their points have been pretty sensible up until now... but hey, that's Eurovision for you.
Two-horse race at the top of the leader boardpublished at 23:16 British Summer Time 12 May 2018
Image source, ReutersBut it's not between the countries you'd perhaps expect!
The favourite before the contest started was Cyprus - but it's Israel who are now neck-and-neck with Austria at the top of the leaderboard. They're being handed out 12 points left, right and centre.
Cyprus are just behind them though, in fourth place.
Cesar Sampson says he's hugely surprised to be there, while Netta says she feels "amazing" and thanks everyone for "laughing, dancing and choosing different".
But errr... the UK is still near the bottom of the leaderboard - let's hope that public vote makes a big difference!
Who was on the UK jury?published at 23:10 British Summer Time 12 May 2018
This year's jury was headed by Carrie Grant. It also featured soprano Laura Wright, music producer Steve Allen, DJ Candice McKenzie and writer/composer Gus Gowland.

The UK jury points are in...!published at 23:07 British Summer Time 12 May 2018
Douze points to Austria from the UK jury! Lots of British love for Cesar Sampson's song Nobody But You.
The jury gives 10 points to Israel and 8 to Bulgaria.
Mel Giedroyc read out the results - and told SuRie that everyone was very proud of her.
But how did the UK public vote? We'll have to wait a bit longer to find out.
The UK (finally) gets some pointspublished at 23:07 British Summer Time 12 May 2018
Liels paldies - or thank you very much - to Latvia for getting us off the ground with two points.
Croatia also gives us two points. Every little helps!

It's a strong Eurovision yearpublished at 23:00 British Summer Time 12 May 2018
Lucy Todd
Entertainment reporter in LisbonIs it me or have there been a large number of really good songs this year?
It's been a long time since the competition has been so wide open - Cyprus are odds on to win, but you can equally imagine Israel, Ireland, Australia, Sweden or a number of others capturing the public imagination and walking away with the coveted glass trophy.
Earlier I spoke to Sweden's Edward af Sillen - who was a director of the Eurovision Song Contest in 2016. He also provides commentary for Sweden's national broadcaster - so basically their Graham Norton.
Quote MessageWe've been waiting for a year like this for a really long time. It's a great year, with so many good songs. Last year, I had to apologise to the audience at home because some of the entries were just embarrassing.
Af Sillen says he tips Cyprus to win, but thinks Ireland could be the dark horse in tonight's race...
What do you think?
Still no points for SuRiepublished at 23:00 British Summer Time 12 May 2018
The points are still coming in but not for SuRie - yet. Sweden are currently top of the leader board.

The first scores are in!published at 22:56 British Summer Time 12 May 2018
The first 12 points of the night goes to France's Mercy by Madame Monsieur - who've changed into red outfits. They look very pleased about it!
Last year's winnerpublished at 22:54 British Summer Time 12 May 2018
Eurovision's 2017 winner, Salvador Sobral, took to the stage - accompanied by Jullo Resende - to perform new single Mano a Mano.
As commentator Graham Norton pointed out, he looks like a completely different man from this time last year - having had a heart transplant in December.
Salvador also performed the song that won Eurovision for him, this time alongside Brazilian music legend Caetano Veloso.
Stop voting!published at 22:53 British Summer Time 12 May 2018
Wow that was quick! No more voting, that's it... finito!
How does the voting work?published at 22:52 British Summer Time 12 May 2018
Lucy Todd
Entertainment reporter in Lisbon
Image source, PANow that you've seen all the acts and the voting is taking place - but how does it all work, I hear you ask.
Well, let me tell you...
The results are decided by 50% televote and 50% jury voting. This system is meant to limit the impact of countries bloc voting for their neighbours, which is often the source of many a complaint.
Jury vote
The juries are made up of five people in each country. Jury members are made up of music industry professionals and judge the songs based on: vocal capacity of the singer, the performance on-stage, the composition and originality of the song, the overall impression of the act.
They're not allowed to rank their own country's song. The rankings of each of the five juries are averaged to create a top 10. This top 10 is then converted into points from 1-7, 8, 10 and then 12 points for the act the jury liked the most.
Televote
Each member of the public is allowed to vote up to 20 times (use them wisely, huh?)
The results of each televote is verified to ensure a valid vote, the televotes are then added up to create the televoting results in each country. These results are transformed into the points 1-7, 8, 10 and 12 points for the song that the public in each country liked the most.
So, now you know...
Get you - what a Eurovision outfit!published at 22:49 British Summer Time 12 May 2018

'Don't hijack someone's moment in the spotlight'published at 22:47 British Summer Time 12 May 2018
Graham Norton just had some choice words for the person who invaded the stage during SuRie's performance.
Quote MessageSuRie had a very difficult time of it on stage... I don't know why they invaded the stage, but we don't care.
Quote MessageBecause you should never try and hijack someone's moment in the spotlight, no matter how worthy your cause.
Quote MessageIt's just not what you do. And SuRie battled on and provided a great performance."
Watching back the moments after the invasion, we also noticed that the audience in the arena did a brilliant job of singing the lyrics to Storm while SuRie was briefly without a mic. Great performances all round.

Throwback time!published at 22:36 British Summer Time 12 May 2018
Cast your mind back - if you can (and if you were alive!) - to 1997.
It was the year Channel 5 was launched. Scientists announced a sheep called Dolly had been successfully cloned. The Labour party, under Tony Blair, had swept into Downing Street with a landslide victory on 2 May.
And then, the very next day, Katrina and the Waves had a landslide of their own when they won the Eurovision Song Contest, in Dublin, with Love Shine a Light. They're still the last UK act to have won.
Here's Katrina reprising her winning performance on the BBC two years ago.
