Team NZ now entering gate three.
They're around mark three. 11 minutes remain...
Oracle have no chance of hauling in the Kiwi boat. But the clock is ticking...
Team NZ won't be beaten by Oracle but the clock is a failry big opponent. It's not looking good
And we're at 30 minutes. Tick, tick, tick.
Oracle are yet to round gate three. More than two minutes behind.
And they're through the third gate, 2.26 back.
Team NZ are 'speeding' downwind at about 20 knots. They might need to find a little more pressure to make the cutoff
Eight minutes to go until the time limit is reached. It's not looking good...
The lead is at 1200m but we're still some way short of mark four.
Seven minutes. The clock is as important to watch at the sailing.
34 minutes through the race. It's going to take something special to finish within the cut-off.
Team NZ are up on one hull going downwind. Normally they are foiling on little more than a coathanger. That just shows how light these winds are
The lead is at 1200m but that is almost irrelevant now.
Five minutes remain and there's still some way to gate four.
Even Ray Davies is on one of the main grinders as Team NZ try to eke out some more speed to beat the clock
Four minutes to go. Looks like we'll be back for another crack at race 13.

This is ghastly - the Cup within reach but not enough time left to finish within the allotted time? Nooooooooby Paul Lewis via twitter 9/20/2013 8:48:31 PM
If Spithill thinks the wind limits are a joke, i'm keen to hear what he thinks about a time limit on a race.by Andrew Gourdie via twitter 9/20/2013 8:51:13 PM

Ray Davies is going to have to find a miracle wind shift on this downwind leg to complete course in time #AmericasCupby Dana Johannsen via twitter 9/20/2013 8:51:28 PM
