For those of you who don't have the Daily Prophet open in a tab: eighteen or so minutes in, Ginny is reporting events on the pitch (Brazil have the Quaffle, but Bulgaria's Beaters are keeping them off the goal hoops) while the Beetle focuses on the human drama in the VIP box (Luna Scamander née Lovegood is passing out snacks to the rest of the DA).
EDIT, 37 minutes in: "And it's first blood to Brazil with a spectacular goal from [Gonçalo] Flores!" - Ginny
"Albus Potter has almost toppled out of the VIP box cheering his Quidditch hero. His uncle Ronald seized the back of his robes and saved him from what would surely have been a death of international significance, spawning news stories across the wizarding world." - Rita, focusing on the important stuff as usual
EDIT 2: At 59 minutes in, "Bogomil Levski breaks through the Brazilian defence and equalises!"
EDIT 3, 83 minutes: "A sudden burst of quick-fire Quaffle passes has resulted in a brace of goals for Brazil, whose Chasers are tearing up and down the pitch. Gonçalo Flores has scored twice more and Fernando Diaz once, taking the score to 40-10."
EDIT 4, 103 minutes: "THE SNITCH HAS BEEN SIGHTED! With the score standing at 50-20 (following goals one minute apart from [Alejandra] Alonso and [Nikola] Vassileva) a flash of gold near the Brazilian hoops leads [Tony] Silva and Krum into a breakneck chase - Beaters and Chasers scatter - Krum is ahead but narrowly misses a capture - as the Snitch soars upwards, both Seekers appear to be dazzled by the brilliant Argentinian sun - the Snitch has disappeared again."
EDIT 5, 123 minutes: "Moments after Diaz lengthens Brazil's lead - 60-20 - Beater [Rafael] Santos hits Viktor Krum hard over the head with his bat. The referee is examining Omniocular footage to determine whether a foul has been committed. The game has been paused." Ginny explains to Rita that, no, the crowd are not groaning "in response to Ronald Weasley flagrantly and openly kissing his wife on the cheek." After 18 minutes, Quijudge Herman Junker rules no foul, Krum confirms no harm, and play resumes.
FINAL EDIT, 165 minutes: "KRUM'S GOT THE SNITCH! BULGARIA HAVE WON!" Final score: 170-60. "Rita Skeeter has been taken unaccountably ill with what some are calling a jinx to the solar plexus." ^__________^
REALLY FINAL EDIT to include some players' forenames and at least one more direct Skeeter quote than was strictly unnecessary.
