:01:37. > :01:40.I hope to have a tough match along the way.

:01:41. > :01:44.Would he get a tougher test than he did in the previous round? Anderson

:01:45. > :01:48.between the Rocket and a place in the last 16. He raced into a 2-0

:01:49. > :01:54.lead. We picked them up in the third frame with Robinson on the table. No

:01:55. > :02:32.COMMENTATOR: He is making it look very easy at the moment. He is

:02:33. > :02:43.playing on that black spot. Never misses a trick. In the last frame,

:02:44. > :02:44.he always tries to make every chance of getting balls in the open very

:02:45. > :03:19.quickly. Even though there are two or three

:03:20. > :03:22.loose reds, he might just go behind these two reds actually, that one in

:03:23. > :03:57.the middle. Well, he has had a massive kick. He

:03:58. > :04:12.is OK though. That was a very big indeed. He never has it clean,

:04:13. > :04:19.Ronnie. This is the first test and he is only three frames. It makes no

:04:20. > :04:51.difference. It makes no difference at the moment.

:04:52. > :05:13.This is the key shot. If this works it could be another frame gone. And

:05:14. > :05:20.another kick. A grimace on his face. Once again not bothering him with

:05:21. > :05:34.the ball clean. Never touched the sides. He is enjoying himself,

:05:35. > :05:40.because Mackie laughed when that wobbled and then the ball fell in --

:05:41. > :05:46.'cause he laughed when that wobbled and then the ball fell in.

:05:47. > :05:49.Unbelievable. When you think, he is now 40 years of age, and I don't

:05:50. > :05:53.think at any time in his career he has played any better than what he

:05:54. > :06:06.is playing this week in Cardiff. Absolutely faultless. It is not like

:06:07. > :06:12.he is missing. Everything he seems to get 50 or above. Already, very,

:06:13. > :06:47.very close in this third frame. This next black and he will be

:06:48. > :07:02.passed into the winning frame. Into the red for the same result. It is

:07:03. > :07:18.exemplary, the way he has played this frame.

:07:19. > :07:34.I am sure there are a lot of gentlemen in the audience who would

:07:35. > :07:43.love to play snooker. This is a game not as we know it. Shouldn't someone

:07:44. > :07:56.tapped him on the shoulder and tell him that this game is supposed to be

:07:57. > :08:16.difficult? Not guaranteed to get this red.

:08:17. > :08:28.Fabulous. Absolutely fabulous. Standby, Genius at work, Ronnie

:08:29. > :08:36.O'Sullivan compiles yet another century.

:08:37. > :08:46.I think the crowd, as we are, are just mesmerised by how easy he is

:08:47. > :08:51.making it look. Absolutely frightening, no other word.

:08:52. > :09:41.Majestic. So, yes, it was all going very

:09:42. > :09:47.smoothly for O'Sullivan once again, so can he see it out? Letter to

:09:48. > :09:57.frame format with Robinson at the table trailing by 26 points -- lets

:09:58. > :10:06.had out to frame four with Robinson at the table trailing by 26 points.

:10:07. > :10:22.Half a chance for Jimmy here to get the green and brown but it is a

:10:23. > :10:31.tough yellow. He will take that on. Well done. He didn't want to snooker

:10:32. > :10:36.himself. Whatever happens, surely, don't go behind the brown. What on

:10:37. > :11:06.earth is happening here? Oh, that is so cruel.

:11:07. > :11:15.Well, what a terrible shame. It is a snooker and barring that Ronnie

:11:16. > :11:25.O'Sullivan will be into the next round, a four winner. -- a 4-0

:11:26. > :11:39.winner. When a man's playing this well, you

:11:40. > :11:42.don't want the ball against you, but Ronnie O'Sullivan clearly the better

:11:43. > :11:52.player this evening. It has been an exhibition from him. He finishes

:11:53. > :11:57.with an exhibition shot on the blue. He is gonna be tough to beat, isn't

:11:58. > :12:07.he, this tournament. And they shake hands, Ronnie O'Sullivan and Jimmy

:12:08. > :12:15.Anderson. Ronnie O'Sullivan is steamrolling into the next round,

:12:16. > :12:21.winning a game 4-0. Well done to Jimmy. For my own personal point of

:12:22. > :12:26.view it was a good match as far as that every match I am just not

:12:27. > :12:31.worrying about how I play but how I can mentally stay in the right place

:12:32. > :12:37.and not get down on myself, just keep playing the right shots and

:12:38. > :12:41.just a in and do a professional job. That is the battle for me and it has

:12:42. > :12:47.been for the last four or five years and I am enjoying working on the

:12:48. > :12:53.mental site. It is a skill. The more you practise, the better you get --

:12:54. > :12:57.side. The playing part comes easy to me but it is just kind of managing

:12:58. > :13:02.it which is the hardest part. Another almost perfect day for him

:13:03. > :13:06.and he will now play in the fourth round tomorrow. But how many

:13:07. > :13:12.Welshmen will make it through as well? Michael White was playing this

:13:13. > :13:22.evening against LianWenbo, the man above him in the world rankings at

:13:23. > :13:41.16. We will join this one with White leading 3-1.

:13:42. > :13:49.He has made contact with the red, Michael White. He is left with

:13:50. > :13:59.something that is far from easy. Both of these fairly difficult. Will

:14:00. > :14:05.he play another safety? Liang Wenbo cannot afford to make any mistakes.

:14:06. > :14:13.3-1 behind. He is going for this red. He has played it very well. If

:14:14. > :14:23.anything he could have done with another couple of inches on the cue

:14:24. > :14:33.ball. He had a very good run in the championship where he lost in the

:14:34. > :14:38.final two Neil Robertson. -- to. He really is nice to watch when he is

:14:39. > :14:44.in full flow. Paul is plenty of faces and grimaces at things and has

:14:45. > :15:16.a laugh at the audience sometimes. He is blessed with a lot of talent,

:15:17. > :15:25.that is for sure. He is now back in perfect position. He would like to

:15:26. > :15:29.be a little bit straighter on this. He is just going to have to push it

:15:30. > :16:00.out of the way. It should stay on the other one. He has played it with

:16:01. > :16:06.a little bit of pace but that's OK. The bulls are in perfect position to

:16:07. > :16:08.get another frame on the board and get right back into the match -- the

:16:09. > :16:23.balls. That isn't his best. Planning to not

:16:24. > :16:58.kiss the front red there. He is on the blue. Not a bad choice,

:16:59. > :17:03.just to play the screw shot off the blue and drift past the pink and

:17:04. > :17:04.carry into the red, that would slow down the white and bring the balls

:17:05. > :17:37.into play. He has got the same result. It could

:17:38. > :17:48.have all gone wrong when you think about it, if it slipped past the two

:17:49. > :18:13.reds. He is now perfect. Awkward cueing. He likes to jibs when he is

:18:14. > :18:20.on the cue, it has to be said. Excellent break from Liang Wenbo. He

:18:21. > :18:36.practices so hard, as all Chinese players do. What a fluke that is.

:18:37. > :18:49.Goodness me. Strange game. Michael White would have had a chance and he

:18:50. > :18:52.would have been 38 points behind. Some players would have looked at

:18:53. > :19:03.their opponents and laughed and said sorry. But he didn't. He just has to

:19:04. > :19:41.get to get on with it. What a miss that red was in the middle.

:19:42. > :20:16.Back in prime position now. Did not see that coming. How did it not just

:20:17. > :20:20.run through to the black? What he has done, he did that in the second

:20:21. > :20:23.and third frame, put himself 50 odd points ahead in both frames, missed

:20:24. > :20:32.something he would never normally miss and landed up missing something

:20:33. > :20:36.he would ordinarily have framed. That is what he did with those two

:20:37. > :20:45.friends, meet clearances to finish both frames. -- frames. If Liang

:20:46. > :20:51.Wenbo goes on to lose this match he won't be feeling too clever knowing

:20:52. > :20:58.he had done all of the hard work and missed something he wouldn't

:20:59. > :21:03.normally miss. The fact that Michael White is right-handed, this red down

:21:04. > :21:07.to the question should not pose too many problems and this is a great

:21:08. > :21:14.chance. Just pushing another red out of the way. Everything is available

:21:15. > :21:59.now. He will know it. He will know this is a chance to frame.

:22:00. > :22:10.He could go for all four reds if he wanted to. He could screw back off

:22:11. > :22:11.the cushion. Rarely do you see a situation like this when you have

:22:12. > :22:53.five different shots you could play. Well, he has played for the awkward

:22:54. > :22:57.red down the cushion. If this goes in and he gets nicely onto their

:22:58. > :23:07.colour, this will be his chance. -- onto a colour. He has made the red

:23:08. > :23:13.and he is nicely on the blue. This is now a match-winning clearance. It

:23:14. > :23:18.all changed for Michael White, didn't it, when he won the

:23:19. > :23:24.shootout. He went on to win a ranking event as well. That was a

:23:25. > :23:31.poor shot. He will have to try to go it in and out and baulk. He has to

:23:32. > :23:33.manage to hold it. He will probably pull a little bit too far to do

:23:34. > :23:46.that. Liang Wenbo has had every chance in

:23:47. > :23:50.this match and he had first chance in this, what could be the last

:23:51. > :23:51.frame, with a break of 53, and he knows now that this match is

:23:52. > :24:00.drifting away from him. He has become a very good player

:24:01. > :24:35.now, Michael White. Taking these really well. Brown,

:24:36. > :24:51.blue and pink needed. Per second Welshmen into the next

:24:52. > :25:00.round. -- the second Welshmen into the next round. He was further away

:25:01. > :25:05.from the pink than he wanted. 3-0, he lost the previous frame, which he

:25:06. > :25:16.could have won. This is frame and that is ball. Excellent clearance

:25:17. > :25:24.from Michael White who was 53 points pint and clears with 75, Michael

:25:25. > :25:32.White goes into the next round as a 4-1 victor.

:25:33. > :25:37.So, White into the last 16 of this tournament for the first time, but

:25:38. > :25:42.if he will make the quarter-finals he will have to beat the defending

:25:43. > :25:46.champion, John Higgins, who is through to round four after a 4-1

:25:47. > :25:52.when over Michael Giorgio with hardly a bomb on the road for him,

:25:53. > :25:59.he stays on course for a record fifth Welsh Open titled -- bump.

:26:00. > :26:04.Well, looking to lift the trophy for the third time, Mark Williams

:26:05. > :26:13.against Kurt Maflin in round three. We joined the match with a padlocked

:26:14. > :26:17.at one -, Maflin at the table trailing 8-4 -- with the match

:26:18. > :27:35.locked at 1-1. -- join -- title. Very well controlled. This little

:27:36. > :27:51.shot played in. He is in full flow, Mark Williams, very, very fluent.

:27:52. > :28:05.Terrific cueist of the ball. He is a real windup merchant.

:28:06. > :28:15.He likes to play the old pranks. Whiting everybody up. The

:28:16. > :28:25.professionals has said he is so laid back he is untrue, he doesn't really

:28:26. > :28:32.get faced by anything -- winding -- fazed. He might be fazed when I told

:28:33. > :28:37.him he might have to face me in the doubles. But I think for young

:28:38. > :28:44.players in the game, if they want to watch people with their attitudes

:28:45. > :28:45.and not let things bother them, you couldn't pick a better role model

:28:46. > :30:31.than Mark Williams. Well, he was a bit scrappy at the

:30:32. > :30:38.beginning of this frame but Mark seems to be in control of things

:30:39. > :30:41.now. He will be very disappointed if he doesn't go on to win this frame

:30:42. > :30:55.from here, just a few more pots required. The pink in the red will

:30:56. > :31:04.be enough. 57 actually, he will need one more red that I am sure he is

:31:05. > :31:06.not expecting a lot more than that. A chance of a century but he will

:31:07. > :32:05.need all the remaining reds. Certainly getting some reaction out

:32:06. > :32:32.of that new tip of his. He knows the frame is one now. -- won.

:32:33. > :32:41.He has had a massive kick on that one, Mark Williams. It meant the red

:32:42. > :32:46.hasn't quite reached the pocket. I am sure that break is more than

:32:47. > :32:54.enough for him to regain the lead this time at two frames to one.

:32:55. > :33:01.Williams one frame for with a break of 76 but Maflin trumped that, he

:33:02. > :33:07.got a break of 111 to take the fifth, in the frame six we go with

:33:08. > :33:16.Williams at the table trailing 11-7. -- into.

:33:17. > :33:27.He hasn't got away with it this time, I don't think. The last two

:33:28. > :33:34.shots very strange from Mark. Maybe one in ten.

:33:35. > :33:57.This is a glorious chance for Kurt Maflin.

:33:58. > :34:05.Must be a little frustrating for Mark, because he is only 3-2 ahead

:34:06. > :34:13.in this match with the possibility of it being 3-3 now. But he has made

:34:14. > :34:19.breaks of 76, astronomically better than in his previous two rounds in

:34:20. > :34:22.the event. Once again he is being put under severe pressure here by a

:34:23. > :34:43.player who is performing very well on the big stage.

:34:44. > :34:54.The more worrying thing if you are a Mark Williams fan is how confident

:34:55. > :35:01.Kurt Maflin is getting. With every shot he looks more composed. You

:35:02. > :35:20.feel he is really fancying the job out there.

:35:21. > :35:28.I am sure Mark has concerns that next time he comes back to the table

:35:29. > :35:34.it will be for a deciding frame. Kurt Maflin needs to make sure he

:35:35. > :35:39.gets a good angle on this black. He has got to go into them here. If he

:35:40. > :35:44.can just screen between the little gap of those two reds directly above

:35:45. > :36:00.the black, that should open up all five reds very nicely. Last,

:36:01. > :36:15.unlucky. He couldn't have hit that much better. -- alas. It is very

:36:16. > :36:21.unfortunate he has landed on a red. He is going to need a couple of

:36:22. > :36:24.others. It might be a good idea to try and put a red on the side

:36:25. > :36:33.cushion and try and play a good safety. That is what he has done.

:36:34. > :36:40.The only problem with that shot is he has put the red to the left

:36:41. > :36:52.cushion. Mark being left-handed he gets the opportunity, that shot

:36:53. > :37:07.becomes much easier. -- left-handed, if he gets. I wonder if he will take

:37:08. > :37:13.this on. What a fantastic pot. If that pink goes to the right centre,

:37:14. > :37:22.what a charge he has given himself. Well... Now there is pressure on

:37:23. > :37:39.Kurt Maflin. What to do here? What a great pop that was -- pot. I think

:37:40. > :37:51.he is going to be relying on a lot of luck, which way he plays this.

:37:52. > :37:58.You could hit it really hard on the question and try and get a

:37:59. > :38:01.clearance. He has missed that completely and the cue ball is

:38:02. > :38:06.swinging around. Mark Williams is now going to have a chance to pinch

:38:07. > :38:16.this frame and win this match with this effort. Kurt Maflin looked in

:38:17. > :38:21.total control but had bad -- had a bit of bad luck in potting the

:38:22. > :38:24.black. You would have to put Mark Williams favourite now in this

:38:25. > :38:34.frame. One thing he doesn't suffer from his clincher's disease. He is

:38:35. > :38:35.full of bottle. One thing for certain, he doesn't lack in the

:38:36. > :39:17.bottle department. He got a big bounce off that

:39:18. > :39:32.cushion. He is still perfect on this red. You just want the cue ball to

:39:33. > :39:34.travel a couple of inches more. He will be very, very disappointed now

:39:35. > :39:46.if he doesn't win this match with this effort. I think Kurt Maflin has

:39:47. > :39:50.probably just played his last shot. He is going to be very disappointed

:39:51. > :39:54.that I think he can take out of this match that he has played very well.

:39:55. > :40:00.A lot of people back home, friends and family, he has shown this crowd

:40:01. > :40:09.how good he is. He is a player for the future I am sure we will be

:40:10. > :40:16.seeing a lot more of him. He is a lot more thin on this blue than he

:40:17. > :40:25.would have liked as well. , it just needs to pink. -- just needs to

:40:26. > :40:34.pink. And he is very, very good with the rest. So then, Mark Williams

:40:35. > :40:38.with a terrific clearance. Kurt Maflin will be very, very

:40:39. > :40:43.disappointed. Had his chance, looks like he was going to level up at 3-3

:40:44. > :40:50.but Mark Williams with a very solid performance runs out a 4-2 winner.

:40:51. > :40:54.What a turnaround from two days ago. I looked like I was playing with

:40:55. > :40:59.someone else's Arms two days ago and I actually looked like a snooker

:41:00. > :41:05.player today. A couple of things changed are up and as soon as I saw

:41:06. > :41:09.the shot hit it as fast as they could. No pausing on nothing like

:41:10. > :41:13.that. No thinking, just as soon as I see it, as fast as I could and I

:41:14. > :41:19.thought if I am going to go out, I am going to go out fast. STUDIO:

:41:20. > :41:22.Things are about to get a little harder for Mark Williams because he

:41:23. > :41:29.will face the world number one, Mark Selby. The 2008 champion with a

:41:30. > :41:36.comfortable 4-2 winner over Fergal O'Brien. Matthew Stevens was hoping

:41:37. > :41:41.this might be his year but he won't be joining his fellow Welshman in

:41:42. > :41:47.round four falling victim to the German Masters champion, Martin

:41:48. > :41:55.Gould, who won the deciding frame in this match with the only century of

:41:56. > :42:06.the game. So, what about the former world champion Shaun Murphy? He said

:42:07. > :42:21.Luca Brecel -- played. Let's join the fourth frame. Murphy at the

:42:22. > :42:26.table on a break of 57. COMMENTATOR: A touch softer that may well have

:42:27. > :42:30.still gone in but unfortunately it has gone wide and we have a new

:42:31. > :42:36.favourite for this frame. If we have a look at his attempts, it is a very

:42:37. > :42:37.good one, but they are the pots. Especially when it can mean winning

:42:38. > :43:44.or losing the frame. Well, this was a topsy-turvy frame.

:43:45. > :43:50.It still is, obviously, with three balls to go. There is another

:43:51. > :44:01.example of just absolute carelessness. Now he has given

:44:02. > :44:10.himself oceans to do. But this looks just about right. It will be tight

:44:11. > :44:19.on the cushion. That is all because he played the careless blue. I don't

:44:20. > :44:23.use the word careless very often, but it was in that case. You have

:44:24. > :44:34.got to make sure you are firm enough. If you are short, you have

:44:35. > :44:40.got to play the shot that Luca did. If you missed this it would be very

:44:41. > :44:45.unfortunate to leave it on. Facing the corner, anything can happen.

:44:46. > :44:54.Knowing him, he will take the pot on. He has got to be in the right

:44:55. > :45:06.centre here, surely. I always say to take it on if it is on. But it is an

:45:07. > :45:18.absolutely simple safety shot. You have got to take it on.

:45:19. > :45:34.That was a good example though. What do you do here if you are Shaun

:45:35. > :45:37.Murphy? Ideally he would like to finish up around the brown spot

:45:38. > :45:46.somewhere. He has caught it and that is too thick. Is he going to get

:45:47. > :45:54.away with it? Believe me, this is a much tighter angle than it may lock.

:45:55. > :46:03.-- look. It looks so much easier on your screens that it is in

:46:04. > :46:14.actuality, I can assure you. Well, the good news for Luca is that Sean

:46:15. > :46:21.can't take it into the right. -- Shaun. About as good as that could

:46:22. > :46:34.finish. I don't think he can cut this in, can he? He doesn't have to

:46:35. > :46:42.go for a pot. It didn't look possible to cut it back in the

:46:43. > :46:56.middle. If he does, where is the cue ball going to go? Hang on, hang on,

:46:57. > :47:00.hang on. Would you believe it? Well, what a tremendous cutback that was

:47:01. > :47:10.from Shaun, but he knew full well that he could not control the cue

:47:11. > :47:20.ball. We have this match tied up once again. STUDIO: What away from

:47:21. > :47:26.Brecel to take the frame. Would it prove pivotal? The Belgian won the

:47:27. > :47:40.next one as well to go 3-2 up. Let's head into the sixth, with Murphy at

:47:41. > :47:44.the table, no school. -- score. COMMENTATOR: That might have drifted

:47:45. > :47:52.a little bit too far. It is certainly on if he can see it. He

:47:53. > :47:58.will have a little look at the shot. Obviously taking his time. He could

:47:59. > :48:14.propel a little screw back double if he wanted to.

:48:15. > :48:39.Absolutely brilliant. As played. A chance for Luca to get a sizeable

:48:40. > :49:03.lead in what could be the deciding frame. Sometimes it can help

:49:04. > :49:07.position. You can see this pot being played again. He slowed the white

:49:08. > :49:19.down and now has a perfect handle on the black. Keeps the break going.

:49:20. > :49:23.The only thing that could go wrong with this of course is by tight on

:49:24. > :49:30.the cushion with the black. Maybe worth the risk. Everyone loves this

:49:31. > :49:42.kind of shot where he describes off the back. He still finished nicely.

:49:43. > :49:47.He is just a bit unlucky to be so straight on the black when he has

:49:48. > :49:54.left enough reds to go in the centre if he needs to. It is permissible,

:49:55. > :50:19.but if this goes in, I think Shaun will be rather concerned. --

:50:20. > :50:24.missable. He appears to have left an easy pot on for Shaun. I don't think

:50:25. > :50:29.he will want to take anything on too risky. He is already 23 points

:50:30. > :50:36.behind in this frame and its Luca were to win it, he will pass the

:50:37. > :50:42.winning post in this match. Good double. Good choice, it is the only

:50:43. > :50:48.ball he could have left and he would have been on the blue or the black.

:50:49. > :51:36.He can't afford any more mistakes now, that man, Shaun Murphy.

:51:37. > :51:43.That safety shot nearly went astray. It is going to be a hard shot on a

:51:44. > :52:03.killer. Excellent pot. That has now given

:52:04. > :52:13.him a chance. He is already leading by 24. A lot of loose reds, colours

:52:14. > :52:17.in play. We will go back to the shot when Shaun Murphy was in front. In

:52:18. > :52:35.hindsight, that would have cost him the match. Yes, absolutely, he will

:52:36. > :52:44.be very fortunate if he gets back to the table, given the position of the

:52:45. > :52:47.reds. For now, 28 looks good. To be honest, there is really only one

:52:48. > :52:53.tricky red, possibly two with the one by Biello but he will be well

:52:54. > :54:09.past the post by then. -- the yellow.

:54:10. > :54:13.Looking very calm and assured here, Luca. A new confidence about his

:54:14. > :54:25.work. Just needs a couple more reds Luca. A new confidence about his

:54:26. > :54:31.him home. He has been very consistent in the last three events.

:54:32. > :54:39.High in the German Masters where he lost the Martin Gould. Almost won

:54:40. > :54:43.the shootout last week in Redding. He looks like he may well be in the

:54:44. > :54:50.last 16 of this event, the Welsh Open again. If he does go through.

:54:51. > :54:58.Awaiting him in the last 16 will either be Ding Junhui or Matthew

:54:59. > :55:27.Celtic. He has an excellent chance now of

:55:28. > :55:38.getting a very, very famous scalp. He hasn't beat a top 45 player so

:55:39. > :55:47.far. -- forum or five -- four or five. Once again we will have to see

:55:48. > :55:53.how unfortunate Shaun is to have levelled it. He has not really had a

:55:54. > :56:14.great chance in the last frame and a half.

:56:15. > :56:21.You would expect Shaun Murphy to be having the better of it but it is

:56:22. > :56:29.him who has made the biggest rakes. 60, 31, 69 and 57. Luca's highest

:56:30. > :56:35.break in this match today was 39 but that is enough for Luca Brecel to

:56:36. > :56:43.find his place in the last 16 of the event. He wins by beating Shaun

:56:44. > :56:46.Murphy by four frames to two. I am not playing better actually, I am

:56:47. > :56:51.just winning more matches. That is the difference. In the beginning of

:56:52. > :56:54.the season, I was playing a lot better than I am playing now but now

:56:55. > :56:59.I am just getting the results and it is good. Last year I got to the

:57:00. > :57:08.semi-final, so the final this year would be fantastic. STUDIO: So who

:57:09. > :57:15.joins Brecel in the last 16? Ding Junhui will go through. Last year's

:57:16. > :57:19.runner-up goes through as well after beating Anthony Hamilton. Barry

:57:20. > :57:34.Hawkins got a 4-2 win over Mark Davies. Marco Fu beating Graeme Dott

:57:35. > :57:48.by the same scoreline. Two others for you. Another Welshman when home

:57:49. > :57:56.this evening, Ryan Day's tour is over after he was beaten four - won

:57:57. > :57:59.by Mark Allen. That leaves two Welshman standing, Mark Williams and

:58:00. > :58:06.Michael White flying the flag for Wales, but who can stop Ronnie

:58:07. > :58:07.O'Sullivan with the rocket on fire now? His bid to reach the

:58:08. > :58:14.quarter-finals live tomorrow afternoon. We will also have the

:58:15. > :58:22.world number one against the Welsh number one. Selby against Williams.

:58:23. > :58:23.From all of sea, a very good evening to you. -- all
