Day 5 Snooker: World Championship Highlights

Things are going wrong. Shaun Murphy will be very disappointed.

He needs to hold himself together. Generous applause for Martin Gordon.

What a wonderful moment. It's at the point of no return.

Disappointment. This game will drive you bonkers. Where has the

cue ball gone? What a way to lose. Mark Selby. The World Championship

has provided its fair share of shocks with five seats out. The

distinct possibility of more to come on this panel for that day.

Mark Selby was 6-3 down against Barry Hawkins and we will see more

of that later. We start with one of the highly ranked players from

China. He was up against Ryan Day who held a 5-4 advantage which

extended up until 6-4. Benny was leading 9-6 with this fluctuating

match. Then the match was levelled at 9-9. The jaw in in the final

That was the earlier part of the They'll know what can happen. If

you lose your concentration for just a fraction. You need to think

about the consequences. Anything can happen. It's a bit straighter

those reds into the top. I don't He's left himself very straight.

adrenalin. He needed to be a little bit lower or higher. He's pushing

it over there to the red. How well did he play that! That was

He is still not perfect. Whenever you have some work to do with the

cue ball, it can go wrong. It's all about that control of the cue ball

in these situations. You need to make every shot easy with a good

position. So an times you can over hit the cue ball and there is

He was bridging that over the pink ball. It's it was looking quite

awkward. Especially when you worry Another excellent shot. He has a

tricky shots to play. He takes nothing for granted. He's got over

the harder parts and he's leading That red one is nicely out in the

open. Ryan Day it just needs to sit But he has missed that one! He

cannot believe it. As we keep saying, take nothing for granted. I

thought he had broken the back of it. He was on that one perfectly

and he missed the red. Nothing surprises me. What a chance. What a

reprieve for Ryan Day. The ball is out in the open. This is it. One of

those shots where you do not want to accelerated. It just slides off

line. No need to tell you. It's all about holding himself together.

It was perilously close. It's just That was a good shot. He needed to

really push that through smoothly and he certainly did that and he is

only 16 points behind. That means that the red balls in the open and

he will come up to the blue. This He did not want to be too straight

on to the black. He cannot screw this back. He would hit the pink

ball. This is a bit more difficult than he would like to. A little bit

He will drop at him and go for the As we saw in the previous few

frames, he was 9-6 down in this match let's not forget. Now he

looks quite composed. He's in total He does not really want to hold

this position with the cue ball. He wants to pull this back about one

inch. It's OK. You wonder what's going through the mind of his

Chinese competitor. He's already missed one of the previous frame.

He looked for all money after doing all that hard work. He just needed

a few more reds and a few more colours. Now Ryan Day is in a

perfect position. He needs the colours up to blue for a famous

victory because he is playing against one of the best in the

He can pinch this 110-9. This will be one of his best ever victories.

He is building himself up for the last few balls. He could not have

done better than that. He's on the One of the favourites looks like he

will go out. Ding Junhui missed two opportunities. Just the blue

remaining. He will be 20 points in front. A great performance. He can

hardly contain his smile. Well played! Ryan Day! Ding Junhui will

be very disappointed. He had a lapse of concentration. It cost him.

The pink goes in it and this is a famous victory four Welshman. The

Chinese competitor will not believe it. The Welshman has one and it's

another one into the second round. Ryan Day, a tremendous performance

and a tremendous match. Another If I reminded myself of what I

showed in qualifying to get through to Sheffield. That has helped along

the way. He did miss a couple of balls that I would not have

expected. There is a lot of pressure and anything can be missed.

If you're not feeling great, these are the kind of players that will

really find you're out. It was a real test of my nerve. I am

delighted to get through. Meanwhile, another top player in trouble was

former world champion Graeme Dott, he found himself 8-1 down overnight

against Joe Perry. And unfortunately, he ended up

suffering his heaviest defeat at the Crucible as Perry completed

A10-1 victory. He described the matches a nightmare. Perry play

Steve Maguire next. I am not really going to judge on that performance,

because it was a strange old game. It was a case of just doing the

right things at the right time. I will need to improve on that

performance. But I feel that coming up, my game is in good enough shape

to do that. He was good, but normally when I come here, I played

quite well. It was not to be. Another Scot for Joe Perry in the

next round. Another seed but in a spot of bother was Judd Trump in

his match against Dominic Dale. The UK champion was suffering from an

upset stomach in, so was doing well. It Dale seized the advantage after

the first four might frames of a session to and lead, before Judd

Trump reassert his authority and Trump reassert his authority and

was just one away from victory. He maybe sneak it here. He turns away

and looks at the crowd. To to ensure that shot when the ball is

right over the pocket, it is so difficult. If he plays the cushion

first, he has control of the white. He really does need a bit of good

fortune. Who is going to get the final chance? This brown will be

possible. He needs the four remaining colours. There is the

first of them. The pot and position was good. We can see that once

again, Judd Trump decelerated. is the sort of shot that he

normally plays as an exhibition shot. Which side of the middle

pocket does he go to? He has struck that beautifully. There is a lot of

pressure on this black. Very well done, died Trump! You must give him

credit for playing with a little bit of illness. Dominic Dale will

be very disappointed. He knows that he had the chance to beat probably

the future number one player in the the future number one player in the

world. I knew that it would be hard against Dominic. I came into the

match yesterday and are was unlucky to get food poisoning. So I do not

know fire was going to make it in the first place. I just managed to

get out there and hopefully try and take it out. I managed to get a

lead. That was good. Today I felt a little bit better but a little bit

drained. Judd Trump was better at making breaks in difficult

positions than I was. He just made 20s and 30s into 50s and I just

could not do that in the final few frames. To the world number one

Mark Selby, who came into this tournament with a neck injury that

forced his withdrawal from the China Open. He may have been given

the all-clear to compete, but he could not cope early on with his

first round opponent Barry Hawkins, to hold an overnight advantage.

Selby is at the table in frame ten. A little nudge on the brown, but it

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 53 seconds

You do not often see that happen. The fact that a lot of the seeded

players are being knocked out, it must be at the back of his mind.

All of these qualifiers are coming through after having played just a

week ago. So they are really match it. The seeded players have been

under pressure this year. All of these players outside the top 16

are having a lot of matches as well. A lot of confidence and Matchplay.

It is a good opportunity here for Barry Hawkins. Darren Morgan, he

has got the same sort of stance and holds his head similar to Dharan.

Darren is still playing away higher Interesting if he goes for the one

he drops the black in, he cannot hold it. If he dropped the black in,

he could soon leave that red for the middle. It just depends on the

angle that he has. He may have to take it up past the green. The shot

would be to bring that difficult I think that he can drop behind it.

It has gone wrong, especially the one to the right of the pink is

available. That was badly misjudged, Just a couple more pots away from

taking this frame and a 9-3 lead. I wonder what the odds on that would

have been, before the start of the match. There is now every chance

in his seat and he signals to the referee. Barry Hawkins marches on.

more concerned with the cue ball. He was not clear about whether he

was going to cannon the red and put the black on to the back. This

could be the end of this year's Betfred.com Championship for the

world number one. He left it a little awkward, but he is very

useful with the rest. Having said that, he will probably miss this

one. He has played it beautifully. Very well composed. It looks as if

the shocks are going to continue, Ken. The seeds are falling fast and

furious. Mark Selby was not at his best, but the way Barry Hawkins

started the match - he won three of the first four frames. You cannot

take anything away from him, but it is a shame that Mark Selby had that

problem. Yes, you have to feel sorry. It is difficult when you

have to go out due to an injury. It has affected his game and his

preparation. But he will be back. It is say great feeling at the

stage when you know you are through to the next round. You are looking

cool and calm, but inside you are over the moon. But -- APPLAUSE.

No doubt Mark Selby will one day become world champion. APPLAUSE.

Mark Selby comes full wet and congratulations Barry Hawkins. It

really has been an impressive display. You have to feel sorry for

Mark Selby, but take nothing away from this man from doubt what. It

really was impressive to knock out the world number one. He has a bad

shoulder and a bad neck. It is difficult. It takes away your

concentration so I tried to forget about it and concentrate on my game.

But I could see toward the end of the session it was more difficult

to keep myself focused. I am not going to use that as an excuse. I

could have come here fully fit and Barry could have still beat me -

she is a good enough player. I will not use that as an excuse. That is

now eight seeds out of this year's World Championship and still some

rounds to be completed. Round to seize the clash of John Higgins and

Stephen Hendry - 11 world titles between them. Steve Maguire will

play it Joe Perry next. Jamie Jones, who defeated Shaun Murphy in the

post round plays Andrew Higginson. Ali Carter it took a lead overnight

against Mark Davis, though Mark Davis was suffering from food

Crucible but he secured a lead over Liu Chuang. Ronnie O'Sullivan
