There is much analysis of the first televised debate between the men hoping to be prime minister after 6 May.Most of the papers agree Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg produced the strongest performance.
It says Mr Clegg seized his chance to tell voters he is a real alternative.
First blood to Clegg, is the Daily Mail's assessment.Neither David Cameron nor Gordon Brown landed a "killer blow" in the verbal fight.
'Whole new audience'
In a comment piece on the Daily Telegraph's front page, its deputy editor,Benedict Brogan, says Mr Clegg "will have won a whole new audience".
However, he accuses him of being "like a new suitor trying to impress" by concentrating on looking straight down the television camera lens.
TheDaily Mirror insists the exchange was "a man versus boys".
It says Gordon Brown delivered what it called a "statesmanlike performance" that exposed his rivals' inexperience.
'Powerful pitch'
The chief political commentator of the Daily Express, Patrick O'Flynn, assesses the debate as "advantage Cameron... but watch out for Clegg".
Trevor Kavanagh, columnist for the Sun, also believes David Cameron has the lead after the first of the debates.
TheFinancial Timesheadline states: "Immigration is the battleground as leaders trade blows in TV clash."
Brown, Cameron and Clegg clash over immigration in a "surprisingly abrasive television debate", the paper adds.
Volcano
A number of the papers focus on the cancellation of all UK flights because of the volcanic eruption in Iceland.
The Daily Telegraph carries a picture of the eruption across half of its front page and the headline "Volcanic cloud that emptied the skies".
TheTimes estimates the disruption to the airline industry caused by the eruption could cost £100m.
The Independent runs a photo of the last plane to take off from the UK before all flights were grounded.
'Chaos'
The Independent says the has disruption caused "fresh agony... to an industry reeling from financial and industrial strife".
The paper speaks of thousands of travellers being "bunkered down".
"Britain is shut to the world," according to the Daily Express. The "chaos" could last for weeks, it says.
