at the moment. He does not have to go into them any more. He does not

need to bring any raids into play, as such. So far, we have had 999

:08:49.:08:59.
:08:59.:09:01.

centuries. It would be nice to finish off with a thousand. And we

:09:11.:09:46.

is trying to get it on the black. He just about judged it correctly.

:09:47.:09:56.
:09:57.:10:00.

He will play to the rates just to the right of the black. Just that

:10:00.:10:10.
:10:10.:10:13.

little can and are there. He decided not to 19 to them. Probably

:10:13.:10:19.

because the right down the red he is going into the corner pocket. He

:10:19.:10:29.
:10:29.:10:33.

did not want to knock them into a position. Actually a very good

:10:33.:10:43.
:10:43.:10:47.

chance for a one for seven. Without having to take many risks. He can

:10:47.:10:57.
:10:57.:10:57.

be over the finishing line. And he may not have to play a wristy shot.

:10:57.:11:07.
:11:07.:11:32.

There is a long way to grow. But it is looking good. The dreaded mobile

:11:32.:11:42.
:11:42.:12:13.

phone. Black and one more red makes the frame safe. He would not want

:12:13.:12:23.
:12:23.:12:28.

to kiss this red. That is a little bit careless. He will play for the

:12:28.:12:33.

black of this raid. But it is tricky. That will put in 69 points

:12:33.:12:43.
:12:43.:12:57.

disappointed there. He was a strong favourite for the brain, but it is

:12:57.:13:07.
:13:07.:13:23.

the middle. But it just seems, with Mark Selby's body language, it does

:13:24.:13:30.

not look that convincing. Not a nice way to effectively lose a

:13:30.:13:40.
:13:40.:13:40.

frame. Play a safety shot and Siegert red over the role. And then

:13:40.:13:50.
:13:50.:14:07.

cushion, which will please him no end. Mark Selby is looking at the

:14:07.:14:17.
:14:17.:14:23.

scoreboard now and he does not have many points to play with. He can

:14:23.:14:33.
:14:33.:14:39.

put the red in the middle pocket. A great shot. The worst possible

:14:39.:14:49.
:14:49.:15:22.

points behind. He is looking for one pink of his remaining reds.

:15:22.:15:32.
:15:32.:15:42.

This would be one heck of a clearance. If it were not for the

:15:42.:15:47.

fact that he could only carry one pink, but it might not be good on

:15:47.:15:57.
:15:57.:16:13.

the colour. Always knew that there would be a gap between the yellow

:16:13.:16:21.

and the brown. The one in between the yellow and the brown is the one

:16:21.:16:25.

that gives him a nice angle as he comes back down between the black,

:16:25.:16:35.
:16:35.:16:36.

which he needs desperately. He has played it well. He has played it

:16:36.:16:43.

pretty good, as you can see, he has got a decent angle there. A superb

:16:43.:16:53.
:16:53.:16:54.

effort so far. He will play for the red by the yellow. That is a better

:16:54.:17:04.
:17:04.:17:26.

shot. Any less, and he cannot win the frame. He forgot about the pot.

:17:26.:17:36.
:17:36.:17:50.

That could be his last shot in this brain. Apt. So, the resignation of

:17:50.:18:00.
:18:00.:18:00.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 91 seconds

:18:00.:19:31.

the fact that he is going to be 4-1 Mark Selby, twice a winner of the

:19:31.:19:41.
:19:41.:19:50.

Masters, he trails 4-1. Mark Selby was breaking off. He has held on

:19:50.:19:56.

two occasions. We will have to see a complete reversal in form, he has

:19:56.:20:05.

been it in a slump this evening. It is not the best break off. He will

:20:05.:20:15.
:20:15.:20:45.

be on the pink, you would think. He is on the pink. This is an early

:20:45.:20:55.
:20:55.:21:11.

If he can get on that red by the blue. That is what is in his mind.

:21:11.:21:15.

He just keeps getting the first chance in every frame. He is too

:21:15.:21:25.
:21:25.:21:28.

good a player to be given these opportunities. He did not catch it.

:21:28.:21:37.

That is OK, thank you very much. Just look at the cue ball flitting

:21:37.:21:47.
:21:47.:22:01.

off the cushion. He has finished He just escaped from the red there.

:22:01.:22:11.
:22:11.:22:13.

This is definitely a frame-winning chance. He is slightly hampered. He

:22:13.:22:22.

can drop the pink and still be on the red. Of course, in the position

:22:22.:22:30.

with this red, he will have to go for blue. Just looking at the

:22:30.:22:40.
:22:40.:22:58.

potting angle, he has got three options. Only just. Just exactly.

:22:58.:23:08.

Even half a pall Mall would have made the position very hard. --

:23:08.:23:18.
:23:18.:23:23.

ball more. He is on the brink of 5- 1. This red opens up the care other

:23:24.:23:33.
:23:34.:23:38.

reds. At least one of those reds will go. I do nothing she has to

:23:38.:23:48.
:23:48.:23:51.

play any Channon's. -- do not think he has to play any cannons. He

:23:51.:24:01.
:24:01.:24:12.

under a heat that slightly. -- That was very fortunate. When you

:24:12.:24:16.

are full of confidence, you just believe that nothing will go wrong.

:24:16.:24:26.
:24:26.:24:57.

If this goes in, he might have a chance. I can see why you said that

:24:57.:25:07.
:25:07.:25:12.

he was so proficient with the rest. When you are playing as well as he

:25:12.:25:22.
:25:22.:25:23.

is this evening, you are in the zone and nothing will put you off.

:25:23.:25:33.
:25:33.:25:34.

He will be very disappointed in his performance so far this evening.

:25:34.:25:38.

Just a red in the corner needed. And he could put another frame on

:25:38.:25:48.
:25:48.:26:09.

It is his last chance. I did not think that he would be back at the

:26:09.:26:19.
:26:19.:26:19.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 91 seconds

:26:19.:27:32.

table. He struck that very well. He is playing the Pink now. If it

:27:32.:27:36.

was not for the fact that he has had very little table time in the

:27:36.:27:46.
:27:46.:27:49.

last few frames, you would fancy him to win this frame. It looks

:27:49.:27:59.
:27:59.:28:08.

straightforward, but it is anything but. This will be one of the

:28:08.:28:18.
:28:18.:28:40.

biggest clearances that he will have all year. He figures that he

:28:40.:28:46.

is 28 points behind at the moment and if he pots the yellow, he will

:28:46.:28:50.

still be 26 points behind. He has had so little table time, it is

:28:50.:29:00.
:29:00.:29:03.

going to be tough. And he has Selby's mes on the yellow meant

:29:03.:29:07.

that he required snookers, Mark Selby, until he went out of this

:29:07.:29:11.

tournament last year, was known as Mr Masters, and he was serious

:29:12.:29:16.

trouble. Here is rain seven, with trouble. Here is rain seven, with

:29:16.:29:26.
:29:26.:29:58.

Murphy at the table. He has finished inch-perfect on the black

:29:58.:30:08.
:30:08.:30:18.

and that is a great shot. He is giving the referee the hurry up.

:30:18.:30:28.
:30:28.:30:32.

You do not want to go so quickly that you make a mistake. He just

makes another red available to this corner pocket. On the comeback

trail, Mark Selby. It is nice that He may try and go off the side of

:32:26.:32:36.
:32:36.:33:05.

When the back of the pack is so tightly together, this is what can

:33:05.:33:15.
:33:15.:33:23.

happen. A great chance now. It is all Blacks at the moment. He had a

:33:23.:33:32.

chance in the last mine, they just ran out of position. There is only

:33:32.:33:42.
:33:42.:33:56.

one awkward read. That is nicely Black-and- one more red makes the

:33:56.:34:06.
:34:06.:34:14.

He will have a problem with that. But he could possibly make this

:34:14.:34:24.
:34:24.:34:24.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 91 seconds

:34:24.:35:05.

It would have been cursed not to have been on a red. He leaves the

:35:05.:35:09.

cue ball a fair way from the table if he is wanting to play into

:35:09.:35:19.
:35:19.:35:26.

corner pockets. The awkward read and tilt - Madni

:35:26.:35:33.

the corner cushion, he will leave that until the end. One-for-one is

:35:33.:35:43.
:35:43.:35:56.

the highest break. That was made by If he does not get on the final

:35:56.:36:02.

black, there is always the double on. Not a bad place to be read to

:36:03.:36:08.

be, for a double. A bit further towards the middle pocket would be

:36:08.:36:16.

nicer. Shaun Murphy, he will give it one more. They are great friends

:36:16.:36:25.

That was not a good positional shot and he may have to play for that

:36:26.:36:35.
:36:36.:36:53.

read now. He has nudged it. Even though there is an angle at the

:36:53.:36:59.

spot, he should be able to get it into the corner. That is a great

:36:59.:37:09.
:37:09.:37:27.

The first ever one for seven break made by Joe Davis was played right

:37:27.:37:37.
:37:37.:37:43.

into his pocket. What a pity. How a little tip from Shaun Murphy, he

:37:44.:37:49.

was willing him to get the maximum. was willing him to get the maximum.

:37:49.:37:52.

A-frame, but he still trails to Shaun Murphy. Mark Selby, despite

:37:52.:37:58.

having his back to the wall, is still capable of the highest

:37:58.:38:05.

quality. He did not get his 147. He is still 5-2 down. Frame make his

:38:05.:38:15.
:38:15.:38:24.

is still 5-2 down. Frame make his next. Each is the brake off short.

:38:24.:38:28.

It is not beyond the realms of possibility that that break off a

:38:28.:38:35.

shot could be his last one in this year's Masters. That is the fine

:38:35.:38:45.
:38:45.:38:45.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 91 seconds

:38:45.:39:25.

There was a red at the bottom. If he hits it with enough pace, he

:39:25.:39:35.
:39:35.:39:45.

will be on to the middle. He is not to the right of the middle. He will

:39:45.:39:55.
:39:55.:40:28.

be on to the right centre. The Red Those three reds on the right side

:40:28.:40:33.

of the table are now pretty difficult for Mark Selby. He may be

:40:33.:40:38.

playing the deep screw back, a speculative pot, but getting the

:40:38.:40:48.
:40:48.:41:00.

He did not get as close to the pot. There is the skid mark where it hit

:41:00.:41:10.
:41:10.:41:10.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 91 seconds

:41:10.:41:59.

That looks just about right. With the two balls hitting each other,

:41:59.:42:09.
:42:09.:42:15.

this is definitely in the middle. He was trying to find a path for

:42:15.:42:25.

the cue ball and he had to really concentrate. If he just played it

:42:25.:42:30.

100%, he would have been fine. was trying to avoid the queues, but

:42:30.:42:40.
:42:40.:43:13.

he did do, but he missed the That is quite a comfortable Cross

:43:13.:43:20.

double. If he plays this down the left-hand side, he can just avoid

:43:20.:43:28.

the red at the top of the cushion. Just a little bit too hard. He

:43:29.:43:38.
:43:39.:44:03.

never gave me the sense that he was APPLAUSE A good pot. We saw the red

:44:03.:44:13.
:44:13.:44:14.

jump into the pocket. The pink does go. This gives it a completely

:44:14.:44:22.

different complexion. It is available into the right corner.

:44:22.:44:32.
:44:32.:44:32.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 91 seconds

:44:32.:45:15.

The black does not go into any pocket at the moment. That is until

:45:15.:45:22.

he clears the red that is by the right corner. It is not a complete

:45:22.:45:32.
:45:32.:45:33.

certainty that he will clear up. So far he is making the right signs.

:45:33.:45:38.

There looks like a win in one visit after an excellent opening red.

:45:38.:45:43.

Mark Selby will be working out from his chair where it could go wrong

:45:43.:45:53.
:45:53.:46:05.

for him. He is probably thinking the worst. Yes, I think he will be.

:46:05.:46:14.

Mark Selby has become the world number one, with good results. I

:46:14.:46:24.
:46:24.:46:29.

just wonder if that mantle is a little heavy on his shoulders. He

:46:29.:46:38.

has not reduced this evening. -- produced. No-one knows better than

:46:39.:46:48.

you what it is like at the top with everyone snapping at your heels.

:46:48.:46:52.

think that level of expectation for all of the players is rising. They

:46:52.:47:02.
:47:02.:47:09.

are all trying to get a slice of This pink, that will be the end of

:47:09.:47:17.

the matter as far as Mark Selby is concerned. Disappointing. He could

:47:17.:47:27.

have had the lead 2-0 in this match. Once Shaun Murphy got ahead, he got

:47:27.:47:37.
:47:37.:47:40.

stronger. Fiat only thing that Mark has done since the first frame...

:47:40.:47:48.

There is only 67 remaining. Is he in the semifinal? It was enough for

:47:49.:47:54.

Shaun Murphy to silky spot in the semifinal of the Masters for the

first time in eight attempts. -- seal his spot. This will be a

:48:05.:48:12.

Mark Selby. I do not take any pleasure out of beating him, he is

:48:12.:48:19.

one of my best friends. He did not seem himself. He did not seem his

:48:19.:48:25.

normal clinical self. I am not sure what was up with him. I am pleased

:48:25.:48:29.

to get through and it is the first time I have been to the semifinal

:48:29.:48:34.

of the Masters. I have always been a decent front runner. The thing I

:48:34.:48:43.

have found, I try and get ahead of everybody, it is difficult to get

:48:43.:48:48.

those early head starts. This week it seems to be paying off. I will

:48:48.:48:55.

be trying my best to play it as I see it. If I get a chance, I will

:48:55.:49:01.

go for it. Confirmation of the line-up for the 2012 Masters. Neil
