It's now a case of now or never for crews working to rescue Thailand's trapped football team.

Four boys have been safely rescued from the cave, and are now in hospital receiving medical checks and treatment.

Sky's Alex Rossi says they are now in a race against water. 

"That battle against the flood is still being fought but none the less they can't rush this operation, they've had to break for the moment to bring in more compressed air to refresh the supply line".

Thailand reporter Richard Elrich says they picked just the right time. 

"The little rain they've had in one week dried out a lot of the cave plus the industrial pumps draining it and they figured this is our last chance," Elrich told Tim Dower.
