Situation as it currently stands (5,2,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

state of play

(Other definitions for state of play that I've seen before include "Where people have come to" , "Denmark for Hamlet perhaps?" , "Current situation in an ongoing process" , "Current position" , "The situation at a specified moment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
