National Scrabble Championship Final

Competition gets serious in the word game that relies as much on sneaky strategy as lexical dexterity. The finalists, Paul Gallen and Wale Fashina, shuffle it out in a separate room, with the moves relayed on a six-foot-square board with expert commentary for the audience. The winner of the £1,500 prize is expected to be determined between 2pm and 4pm; fans can also follow the action online (http://www.centrestar.co.uk/uknsc/2012/).
