Image source, BBC SportIt's a fairly straightforward kick for Cullen and the sides are level once more.
You would be hard-pushed to pick a winner at the moment.

Oxford have the chance to level here as Cambridge lock Ian Nagle is penalised in a tackle.
It's a long wait for George Cullen though, as we have a number of players down receiving treatment for injuries.

What this game has lack in points has made up for intensity and endeavour.
How much this match means is probably best summed up by Oxford hooker Richard Halpin, the law and finance student who made his way down to London after sitting an exam this morning. Wonder if he could concentrate on that?

BBC TwoQuote MessageIt was such a good passage of play for Oxford and the ball eventually went wide - but still we're without a try in this match.

But as has proved the case so far today, Cambridge win the ball back from the Oxford line-out after the Dark Blues give away a scrum.
They celebrate almost as if they've scored a try themselves.

You have to feel for Geiger there. His chance came off the back of some fantastic work by the Oxford forwards and he might regret missing the chance to get his name score at Twickenham.
The Dark Blues keep up the pressure by kicking to the corner for a line-out around five metres from the tryline.

Oxford full-back Matt Geiger, so imperious so far, has the chance of glory but he spills the pass when he had a free two metres to get to the line after the Dark Blue line-out works for a change.

This could be a crucial decision. Oxford are given a potentially kickable chance to bring the game level after Oliver Clough is penalised, but decide to go for a line-out in the corner.

BBC Radio CambridgeshireQuote MessageWhen Cambridge get the ball and steal it, they've got to use it. Twice now they've done well to steal the ball and then not done anything with it.

Off the back of the line-out, Cambridge play from right to left brilliantly but George Williams' pass finds it's way into Dark Blue hands, but Oxford can only clear as far as the 22.

Brian Moore
Ex-England hooker on BBC TwoQuote MessageUnlike the first half, Oxford are getting over the gain line - and getting over the gain line regularly. The amount of tackling Cambridge are having to do must be taking a toll physically.

Cambridge win a penalty off the scrum, and the relief on the face of captain Don Stevens is clear.
As cliched as it sounds, his reaction defines how much this means to both sides.

The ball has barely gone dead in this match so far, but we finally have a scrum after Cambridge replacement George Williams kicks the ball out of play on the full.
The Light Blues are taking a battering so far this half and surely it is only a matter of time before Oxford get the try their second-half start deserves.
Oxford 3-3 Cambridgepublished at 48 mins
Cambridge have barely seen the ball this half. Oxford have been completely dominant but the Light Blues are holding their own without talisman Jamie Roberts.
Could his injury prove the difference against a side that won by a record score last year?

Oxford scrum-half Henry de Berker breaks through but once more cannot find a gap in the Cambridge defence.
