Welcome to Click's on-the-spot V Festival updates. Check back here all weekend long for the low-down from our ace on-site reporters, bringing you all the latest as it happens. Find out about all the highs and lows right here.

Click's updates from V have finished for the night! Come back on Sunday for more of the latest from both festival sites.

Last Update: Saturday 20 August, 23:11

23:11
Scissor Sisters have closed proceedings in Staffs with a mammoth 15-track set, including 'Paul McCartney', the ode to the Beatles legend that Jake Shears has been promising for months. There was also the obligatory Crazy Frog insult, although Click isn't feeling too sorry for it just yet. Meanwhile, back in Chelmsford, Chemical Brothers are just off the Channel 4 Stage after what our reporter called a 'storming set', including 'Block Rocking Beats'.

22:11
Oasis are up on the V Stage to a huge crowd, but take a while to get going thanks to the decision to start off with a new track. None of that crowd-pleasing nonsense from these boys, who also choose to bar a selection of photographers from entering the press pit, much to the chagrin of Virgin Radio (who only sponsor the whole bloody festival) among others. There's also some abuse of the audience, although it's restrained by Oasis standards. It's good hearing stalwarts of the back catalogue, but the feeling persists that the band haven't really gone anywhere for ages. What was it the NME said about them this week? Who really cares any more?

20:58
Frankly, if you're a band, you've not made a proper festival appearance unless you have some cunning trick up your sleeve. At Glasto, anyone who was anyone did a song for Kylie. At V, you're nothing if you haven't played at least twice despite only being billed once. A plethora of bands have done that by playing tiny VIP tents before their main appearances (Kaiser Chiefs being one), but there have been more than a few high-profile collaborations rumoured. The latest is the news that The Magic Numbers, who were fantastic earlier, are going to return alongside The Chemical Brothers to perform 'Close Your Eyes' tonight. Maybe they'll all do a Live 8-esque group finale...

20:16
Answer to the below question: yes. Kaiser Chiefs, as expected, do not disappoint, and Ricky Wilson, as expected, hurls his post-Benicassim crutches to the floor and tries his utmost to wreck the other ankle as well. Ricky greets the return of the Kaisersaur with "Oh, f**k off!", marking one of the very first occasions on which a band have appeared publicly haunted by an inflatable replica prehistoric, er, thing. Although speaking of replica and prehistoric, Oasis are supposed to hove into view within the hour...

19:29
Here at Click HQ it's all gone remarkably quiet. Could it possibly be that everyone we know has gone watching Kaiser Chiefs?

17:17
Our news editor, buried in the thick of the action, can reveal that Romeo Stodart of The Magic Numbers fame hung around to watch KT Tunstall as the crowd helped her through the sound problems caused by her power cut. Just when we thought we'd packed GLC off to Staffordshire in a mildly disturbing swap for Tony Christie, it turns out they reckon they're hanging around to collaborate with Super Furry Animals on the Volvic Stage later tonight.

16:24
Harrowing news from Staffordshire for our Click monkeys busying themselves in Chelmsford - not only is Tony Christie going to appear, he's packing a whole medley of Beatles covers too. Good job our Chelmsford massive made the best of The Las, then. KT Tunstall did well to survive a power cut on the Channel 4 Stage, following the mightily impressive The Magic Numbers.

15:35
No wheelchair for Ricky Wilson tonight, following more daft antics and ankle damage in Portugal. Brave boy.

14:31
The Stands and Goldie Lookin Chain have struggled to make an impact on the V Stage at Chelmsford, but Kaiser Chiefs prove themselves 'the godfathers of Britpop mark two' in the words of our on-the-spot correspondent, staging a private acoustic set before their Channel 4 Stage appearance. Elsewhere, rumour has it Scissor Sisters and Franz Ferdinand will pull off a surprise collaboration in Staffs tonight.
