:42:35. > :42:39.
:42:39. > :42:49.It needs to miss the pink. I was thinking that would be pretty good,
:42:49. > :42:50.
:42:50. > :43:00.but he may have left enough of this red. Now, there you go. Could the
:43:00. > :43:08.
:43:08. > :43:18.better of the red sticking out Nor, he cannot have it. He played
:43:18. > :43:22.it nicely. It was one of those that you had to hit relatively full. But
:43:22. > :43:32.you would have settled for that, if you could guarantee it would go

:43:53. > :44:03.
:44:03. > :44:13.Very good. Is the black in the way We will put the line there and see.
:44:13. > :44:23.There you go. Elaine says that the black is not in the way! But he
:44:23. > :44:25.
:44:25. > :44:35.But he's going to have to trust to luck to get the safe. It is not

:44:41. > :44:51.guaranteed. Good hit. It is not bad. I think this may be a pot bubble
:44:51. > :44:54.
:44:54. > :45:04.Shaun is still holding on to his advantage. He would love to get 21-
:45:04. > :45:25.
:45:25. > :45:31.Good pot. He is going to be on the pink. In a fashion. The reason I
:45:31. > :45:41.say that is he has not got a good angle to get onto the yellow from
:45:41. > :45:46.
:45:46. > :45:56.This requires a fantastic shot. you say, it would have been
:45:56. > :46:02.
:46:02. > :46:12.Hockey, I am not sure that the green passes the pink, and Shaun
:46:12. > :46:19.
:46:19. > :46:28.To get anywhere close to the green, this would after be a very slow
:46:28. > :46:38.shot. The sale will put and 23 in front, but there would be 25
:46:38. > :46:51.
:46:51. > :47:01.That is exactly what he did. But he could find himself in trouble after
:47:01. > :47:12.
:47:12. > :47:22.He actually hit the wrong side of the yellow. This frame is not going

:47:35. > :47:43.the yellow. There could be a bout of safety play here until a player
:47:43. > :47:53.thinks they can pot below and get position on the green. -- pot the
:47:53. > :47:55.
:47:55. > :47:59.Yes, I think even if they could pot it and get close to the green they
:47:59. > :48:09.would settle for that, because then they would have the chance of lean
:48:09. > :48:12.
:48:12. > :48:22.But Shaun Murphy will not want to lose this one. That would really

:48:57. > :49:14.
:49:14. > :49:20.He has got wader with this. That Am not sure Mark Selby has each
:49:20. > :49:30.shot to get on to it into the green pocket. The cue ball was going
:49:30. > :49:33.
:49:33. > :49:43.That means that Shaun Murphy only needs the yellow to take the second
:49:43. > :49:46.
:49:46. > :49:56.frame. And he can also play it as a shot to nothing. He can try and
:49:56. > :50:11.
:50:11. > :50:16.what the law and also try and get I was surprised. He did not play it
:50:16. > :50:26.with much confidence, considering it was a shot to nothing and frame
:50:26. > :50:44.
:50:44. > :50:54.Mark Selby's body language suggests he has left a gap. If he did not
:50:54. > :50:57.
:50:58. > :51:01.have that gap, this could have been Shown would expect to be able to
:51:01. > :51:11.get this and hit the far side of the yellow, to keep the object ball
:51:11. > :51:24.
:51:24. > :51:34.But I do not think he played it like that. Yes, it is a mistake.
:51:34. > :51:52.
:51:52. > :52:02.Could this be another Can he get through to the green?
:52:02. > :52:12.
:52:12. > :52:22.Not a problem. What a fantastic Another very clean strike of the
:52:22. > :52:22.
:52:22. > :52:32.cue ball. He may have been trying to hit the brown, but he got so
:52:32. > :52:42.
:52:42. > :52:52.much on it. Like you, I thought he This is this nice angle you're
:52:52. > :52:56.
:52:56. > :53:05.talking about earlier. Now it is all about line and length. If he
:53:05. > :53:14.can get the cue ball anywhere in order around that circle. I think
:53:14. > :53:24.he can screw to that position. Nope, he has over done it. He tried to
:53:24. > :53:33.
:53:33. > :53:43.Yes, I think he felt he could not get enough screw action to hold
:53:43. > :53:47.
:53:47. > :53:57.All, we said it was not easy, but he has left it over the corner
:53:57. > :54:00.
:54:00. > :54:08.Mark Selby will be very disappointed with that shot. A
:54:08. > :54:16.relieved Shaun Murphy puts the disappointment of losing the first
:54:16. > :54:24.frame behind in an wins the second. 1-1. Mark Selby will be kicking
:54:24. > :54:30.himself about how he lost it. he had a chance earlier in the
:54:30. > :54:39.frame. But he did not have the angle on the pink to stay for the
:54:39. > :54:42.black. But if you are down to a black ball finished, that is
:54:42. > :54:52.exactly every year we will want to leave the balls for your opponent.
:54:52. > :54:52.
:54:52. > :55:01.It is a horrible shot. It is a big chance for Shaun Murphy after the
:55:01. > :55:08.first frame, where he did have a chance to see get from Mark Selby?
:55:08. > :55:15.Yes, we saw it today when Neil Robertson won a couple from Mark
:55:15. > :55:24.Williams. It makes such a huge difference at this level. Who is
:55:24. > :55:34.looking smoother and Cole were? Actually, Mark Selby has missed a
