:00:36. > :00:38.Hello and welcome to highlights from day six of the Betfred.com
:00:38. > :00:41.World Championship. Today saw the start of the second round of
:00:41. > :00:46.matches at the tournament. There were still two outstanding matches
:00:46. > :00:49.in the first round to be completed. First up, it's the contest between
:00:49. > :00:59.Crucible newcomer track track track and the two-time world champion,
:00:59. > :01:05.
:01:05. > :01:09.Old school. Determined. Hard as nails. Very laid-back. Always up
:01:09. > :01:13.for a joke. You can never trust him. LAUGHS
:01:13. > :01:20.He's one of the few players that's came back from a slump. That shows
:01:20. > :01:29.you how good he is. Not many players can do that. Probably the
:01:29. > :01:31.worst player sense in the snooker circuit. Slob. Cool. Greatest ever
:01:32. > :01:37.Welsh player. Again, fantastic respect for Mark and what he's
:01:37. > :01:40.achieved. Shows that he doesn't really care too much. I think deep
:01:40. > :01:45.down, he's got that instinct where he wants to win all the time.
:01:46. > :01:49.determined to win at all costs. Hard to do. He's been a multiple
:01:49. > :01:53.major tournament winner. He's got to be put down as one of the all-
:01:53. > :01:57.time greats. The Welshman did well to prevent a
:01:57. > :02:01.fairly hostile crowd affecting him in his opening session, after his
:02:01. > :02:06.negative pre-tournament comments about the Crucible, as he led 6-3
:02:06. > :02:10.overnight. We'll join it as at the start of the second seng, with
:02:10. > :02:20.Trang at the table. Terry Griffiths and Neal Foulds are the
:02:20. > :02:24.
:02:24. > :02:28.APPLAUSE We know he can play. It was back in
:02:28. > :02:38.2008 when he lost 10-5. In some ways, he got closer to O'Sullivan
:02:38. > :03:14.
:03:14. > :03:19.than anyone else that year. Because I was in commentary on this match
:03:19. > :03:23.yesterday. It took a while to get to life. 3-3, it was difficult to
:03:23. > :03:29.say which way it was gonna go. In the end, I would say the extra
:03:29. > :03:35.class of Mark Williams shone through. Made a pretty telling 72
:03:35. > :03:38.break to go 5-3 and a 111 break in the last frame of the session. He
:03:38. > :03:48.was kind of patient up until then. Stuck at it, and it started to
:03:48. > :04:11.
:04:11. > :04:21.APPLAUSE There's not a lot of pocket, as you
:04:21. > :04:54.
:04:54. > :04:57.Gently into the pack there. He's not tried to develop many. Pushed
:04:57. > :05:05.one out. Interesting choice that might play the red to the left
:05:05. > :05:15.centre that's closest to the pocket. They've recovered since their first
:05:15. > :05:17.
:05:17. > :05:27."refurbished" isn't the word we use - it's been recovered overnight.
:05:27. > :05:29.
:05:29. > :05:39.Perhaps the table wasn't playing They should notice the difference,
:05:39. > :05:42.
:05:42. > :05:46.I think, the players in this Even the practice tables are better.
:05:46. > :05:49.They deputy get the soft screws very easily. They were struggling
:05:49. > :05:53.on the match tables and the practice tables yesterday. Of
:05:53. > :05:56.course, the practice tables get a bit of a hammer in you - they're
:05:56. > :06:06.played on all -- get a bit of hammering - they're played on all
:06:06. > :06:10.
:06:10. > :06:15.I always think it's quite funny about the practice tables get a
:06:15. > :06:23.hammering, because they do. But you might not get a table covered in a
:06:23. > :06:26.club for four years they play on in the clubs. The shots that players
:06:26. > :06:36.practice - it's almost like a tramline down the middle of the
:06:36. > :06:36.
:06:36. > :06:46.The black spots are like a battlefield. You practice there all
:06:46. > :07:01.
:07:01. > :07:08.Very positive start for Mark He's like a machine - pots them
:07:08. > :07:10.from anywhere. He certainly is. It's been very good to see him back
:07:10. > :07:14.the last couple of years, where he came back from being in the
:07:14. > :07:24.doldrums. Dropped right down in the rankings. I think second time
:07:24. > :07:47.
:07:47. > :07:57.'round, you appreciate it more when Down to a ranking in the 40s in the
:07:57. > :08:13.
:08:13. > :08:23.world. For a player of his standard, He's at number four in the world
:08:23. > :08:47.
:08:47. > :08:52.Good reaction from Mark, as he came Didn't start well, as Neale said,
:08:52. > :09:02.in the first session. But you've always got - you fear he's got
:09:02. > :09:14.
:09:15. > :09:18.something in the tank to offer if It worked out very well. He'll
:09:18. > :09:25.knowing having looked at the scoreboard, that the cannon went
:09:25. > :09:35.wrong. But it will be good enough. APPLAUSE
:09:35. > :09:35.
:09:35. > :09:38.Can continue the break if he wants to, but he doesn't want to take any
:09:38. > :09:43.liberties. Not impossible for a player to come back from this
:09:43. > :09:53.position. Playing a plant down the side cushion. I think he'll be
:09:53. > :10:01.
:10:01. > :10:02.taking the cue ball up the table Good start from Mark Williams. A
:10:02. > :10:08.break of 72. APPLAUSE
:10:08. > :10:12.Barring snookers, he's extended his lead to 7-3.
:10:12. > :10:22.Mark Williams did indeed extend his advantage to four frames. On to
:10:22. > :10:34.
:10:34. > :10:44.frame eleven - Chuang at the table, He's 21 points in front. There's a
:10:44. > :11:01.
:11:01. > :11:04.good chance he could clinch it, if Good attempt. He'd certainly be
:11:04. > :11:12.trying to catch a thin on the way up. It's a difficult shot. The
:11:12. > :11:16.first bit, I think, is the difficult part here. Not so
:11:16. > :11:25.difficult considering the jacket - when he get out of the way, we'll
:11:25. > :11:30.That was all a blur, Terry, wasn't it? I think the harder you play
:11:30. > :11:34.them, the more difficult it is to judge the angle, isn't it? Throws a
:11:34. > :11:38.bit wide. Yes, it comes off the cushion at a different angle when
:11:38. > :11:44.you hit it very hard. It narrows off as it comes the cushion,
:11:44. > :11:47.because the cue ball sort of goes further into the rubber. He's
:11:47. > :11:57.caught it a third time. A flick on the pin could do.
:11:57. > :11:58.
:11:58. > :12:02.APPLAUSE The other thing which will about it,
:12:02. > :12:05.which will annoy Liu Chuang, was he had no real clue where anything
:12:05. > :12:08.would finish. Lucky play was a plan there. I suppose when he had the
:12:08. > :12:13.ball in hand from Mark's previous shot, he might have considered
:12:13. > :12:23.playing that red into the middle pocket. But he knew Mark was going
:12:23. > :12:25.
:12:25. > :12:33.to whack it. That's his mentality, Another whack.
:12:33. > :12:43.LAUGHTER Not quite, but certainly not easy.
:12:43. > :12:49.
:12:49. > :12:59.Didn't quite get the same amount of APPLAUSE
:12:59. > :13:23.
:13:23. > :13:33.Still a good shot from under That's not the best one he's ever
:13:33. > :13:36.
:13:36. > :13:45.played. If he played for the brown, Got to be the best roller-in of a
:13:45. > :13:49.He keeps the game very simple. That's Mark's biggest asset. That
:13:49. > :13:53.was a good shot as well. APPLAUSE
:13:53. > :13:57.As a left-hander, this wouldn't go down as a difficult shot. Anything
:13:58. > :14:07.could be missed down a cushion. This one might win him the frame,
:14:08. > :14:09.
:14:09. > :14:19.He was lucky in that snooker, I have to say. It has turned the
:14:19. > :14:31.
:14:31. > :14:34.He hasn't really got good position He's left himself a nice angle. One
:14:34. > :14:44.of the reasons why he marks off was straight into play against - he
:14:44. > :15:14.
:15:14. > :15:17.sort of gives you hope in the chair Mark Williams was very fortunate to
:15:17. > :15:23.escape from the snooker. He's won the second frame tonight, now 8-3
:15:23. > :15:28.in front. Williams also took frame 12 to make
:15:28. > :15:31.it 9-3, before Chuang grabbed one back to trail 4-9. It's looking
:15:31. > :15:39.precarious to the Chinese newcomer to the Crucible, as Williams still
:15:39. > :15:49.need one more. Frame 14 next - Williams at the table, trailing by
:15:49. > :15:49.
:15:49. > :16:35.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 46 seconds
:16:35. > :16:40.four points. Dangerous shot to play. He can get
:16:40. > :16:50.to the side of the brown. He doesn't want to hit - it will take
:16:50. > :16:52.
:16:52. > :16:58.Well, I suppose he obviously did hit the brown first there.
:16:58. > :17:08.Otherwise, Olivier Martine would have been on his case. A bit of a
:17:08. > :17:19.
:17:19. > :17:24.Strange old frames, the last two. It's edging towards the way the
:17:24. > :17:28.last one went. Mark only wants blue and pink. He's one ball away from a
:17:28. > :17:38.place in the next round. Don't know how much he fancies this double.
:17:38. > :17:50.
:17:50. > :17:53.Most players, I think, would LAUGHTER
:17:53. > :18:03.Slightly frustrated, but he's not left this easy at all. How close
:18:03. > :18:12.
:18:12. > :18:19.Frustration all the way. That's the nature of the game: This is a very
:18:19. > :18:29.difficult shot that Mark has left APPLAUSE
:18:29. > :19:02.
:19:02. > :19:07.Should come down towards the black, Chuang keeps the match going. He's
:19:07. > :19:16.won two in a row - all of a sudden, this lead is four frames, with a
:19:17. > :19:20.possible five to play here. Mark 9-5 then became 9-6, as Liu Chuang
:19:20. > :19:25.threatened to stage something of a fight-back. But Williams held firm,
:19:25. > :19:27.and eventually closed out the match in frame 16. That means that the
:19:27. > :19:31.Welshman, who became the first left-hander to win the title in
:19:31. > :19:35.2000, is through to the second round of the tournament for the
:19:35. > :19:42.14th time in his career, and looks a strong contender for the World
:19:42. > :19:44.a strong contender for the World a strong contender for the World
:19:44. > :19:49.Championship once again. I probably should have won it a bit
:19:50. > :19:53.earlier. Every frame he wins, especially 9-3 up, you should win
:19:53. > :19:57.every frame and put him under more pressure. 9-6 - I'll just over the
:19:57. > :20:00.moon to get over the line, really. 9-7, then all of a sudden it's
:20:00. > :20:04.anyone's match. I was doing the same when I was 9-3 up as the first
:20:04. > :20:11.few frames. I looked good in one frame, then was missing a lot of
:20:11. > :20:14.easy balls in the next ra. Lot of the frames were scrappy. Didn't
:20:14. > :20:18.play particularly well. Played well in patches, here and thering, but
:20:18. > :20:20.nowhere near the standard I need to play to beat O'Sullivan in the next
:20:20. > :20:23.round. What a match that promises round. What a match that promises
:20:23. > :20:32.to be. There's just one more match from the first round to bring you
:20:32. > :20:35.news on - between the Captain, Ali It was Carter, the former world
:20:35. > :20:39.number two, who sealed his spot in the second round. The 2008 runner-
:20:39. > :20:44.up led 8-1 overnight and took two of the first three frames after the
:20:44. > :20:49.restart, including this, the final frame, with a brilliant break of
:20:49. > :20:52.132 to run out a 10-2 victor. Carter had recently requested a
:20:52. > :20:55.year's sabbatical from the tour, but it seems a new diet is helping
:20:55. > :20:59.him to manage his Crohn's disease, and he looks hungry for success
:20:59. > :21:09.once again, and is out to better that semifinal appearance here two
:21:09. > :21:45.
:21:45. > :21:47.Let's get straight to the action from the last 16. First up, it's
:21:48. > :21:57.Australia's world number three, Neil Robertson, up against
:21:58. > :22:01.
:22:01. > :22:05.With 65 ranking places separateling him from Neil Robertson, David
:22:05. > :22:08.Gilbert could be forgiven for having early nerves. But he settled
:22:08. > :22:18.having early nerves. But he settled earliest, taking the first frame.
:22:18. > :22:23.
:22:23. > :22:33.Robertson struck back to level the next two frames, including his own
:22:33. > :22:39.
:22:40. > :22:43.76, for a 3-1 lead at the a gear. He took the fifth with a
:22:43. > :22:53.break of 84, and then the sixth with his first century of the match,
:22:53. > :22:56.
:22:56. > :22:59.to level it at 3-3. Things got worse for Gilbert in the seventh,
:22:59. > :23:05.as Robertson won a scrappy frame to go ahead for the first time in the
:23:05. > :23:10.match. And by the end of the session, normal order had been
:23:10. > :23:20.restored - a break of 131, four frames in a row, for a lead of 5-3
:23:20. > :23:25.
:23:25. > :23:34.second round match between former UK champion Stephen Maguire and
:23:34. > :23:44.with a century each. It's 1-1 as we join it in the third, with Maguire
:23:44. > :23:44.
:23:44. > :24:54.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 46 seconds
:24:54. > :24:57.at the table. Commentary comes from If he's got a good angle, he could
:24:57. > :25:00.possibly release the black. There is one loose red he could play for,
:25:00. > :25:06.but the one thing you've got to remember with this - you've got to
:25:06. > :25:16.get the pots. You don't want to bring reds into play if you miss
:25:16. > :25:44.
:25:44. > :25:47.the pot. He could release the black, You see that pattern of the reds -
:25:47. > :25:57.four sets of two. They won't be there for long. But very unusual
:25:57. > :25:57.
:25:57. > :27:49.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 46 seconds
:27:49. > :27:52.He's got to play the screw back and He'll maybe play a stun rather than
:27:52. > :28:02.a screw back. With a run-through, you could finish near the top
:28:02. > :28:09.
:28:09. > :28:16.He decided tee didn't want to risk the delicate shot. Went for the
:28:16. > :28:20.power. As it's turned out, not a bad choice, that red going over the
:28:20. > :28:30.middler -- middle, as John mentioned - nice little bonus for
:28:30. > :28:39.
:28:39. > :28:44.That blue put him 19 points in front now. It was not a bad choice
:28:44. > :28:48.of shot. Just to the right of the pink, he always knew he had this
:28:48. > :28:58.one over the pocket, but he kept a crop on that other one and it would
:28:58. > :28:59.
:28:59. > :29:05.have opened the game up for him. -- a drop. He could have done a little
:29:05. > :29:12.better than that. He wanted to pot that half ball. That might be the
:29:12. > :29:22.end of break. He knows he's not going to clinch the frame at this
:29:22. > :29:34.
:29:34. > :29:42.He is looking at the scoreboard. If he can roll the blue in... With the
:29:42. > :29:52.white in the jaws of the pocket... Can he force an angle? If he tries
:29:52. > :30:03.
:30:03. > :30:08.too much, he could missed the pot. Have a liquor this! -- look at.
:30:08. > :30:13.That was one of the best cannons I have ever seen. I was wondering if
:30:13. > :30:23.he tried to force it to hit the other side of the pocket. I'll ask
:30:23. > :30:32.
:30:32. > :30:38.him in the interval. Only if he This is a thin one. But if he
:30:38. > :30:48.thinks he can pot it... If he pots this and just about gets the colour,
:30:48. > :30:56.
:30:56. > :31:03.Just one good positional shot off the green. The three reds in the
:31:03. > :31:09.middle of the table. If he gets one of them, it should not be a problem.
:31:09. > :31:14.And a distinct possibility of three centuries in a row. There is enough
:31:14. > :31:19.there to make back to back centuries for Stephen Maguire. Joe
:31:19. > :31:29.Perry had the 115 in the opening frame. What a standard this match
:31:29. > :31:35.
:31:35. > :31:43.is giving us at the start of the As long as you get to 73 by the
:31:43. > :31:46.time you get to the six remaining colours, you can score 100. But
:31:46. > :31:52.after his start, Joe Perry must be sat in his seat wondering what has
:31:52. > :32:02.gone wrong. He had two good chances in this frame. He missed a black
:32:02. > :32:08.
:32:08. > :32:14.off the spot, and he missed an easy It does not take a lot for Stephen
:32:14. > :32:24.Maguire to get his confidence and get going. The red and the blue and
:32:24. > :32:37.
:32:37. > :32:47.That is perfect. Every chance now that we are going to have three
:32:47. > :32:50.
:32:50. > :32:58.centuries in a row at the start of this second round match. And in a
:32:58. > :33:08.matter of 43 minutes, that will be a total of �600 for the charity,
:33:08. > :33:19.
:33:19. > :33:25.He just needs a good angle on the blue, and that is inch-perfect.
:33:25. > :33:35.Look at the colours. He has had the lot in this break. I thought you
:33:35. > :33:37.
:33:38. > :33:43.were going to break into song then! Anyway, pink and black. This is
:33:43. > :33:49.just unbelievable snooker. It really is. Absolutely sensational
:33:49. > :33:52.from Stephen Maguire. Joe Perry missed two good chances and give
:33:52. > :33:56.Stephen Maguire the opportunity, but you do not get snooker much
:33:56. > :34:01.better than this. Three centuries, better than this. Three centuries,
:34:01. > :34:07.three frames, he has made two of them. But that standard could not
:34:08. > :34:17.continue. Although Maguire one the 4th and the 5th to lead 4-1. Here
:34:18. > :34:20.
:34:20. > :34:25.is frame six with Joe Perry at the He has gone full blooded for the
:34:25. > :34:32.position. That is a confidence booster, if ever you have seen one,
:34:32. > :34:39.because he did not Hedges bet. He took the bull by the horns.
:34:39. > :34:45.Considering he has not potted a ball for 35 minutes... O, what has
:34:45. > :34:53.he done here? Still a pot on, but he was looking for some sort of
:34:53. > :34:59.little cannon there. He played a little cannon on the pink to hold
:34:59. > :35:04.it. He wants the cue ball to slow down and not be too close to the
:35:04. > :35:14.cushion. He is OK and has the easy red over the left middle, but you
:35:14. > :35:16.
:35:16. > :35:20.would like to keep that there as a He has got the easy red to the left
:35:20. > :35:26.middle. He would have liked to have been on something else, but it
:35:26. > :35:30.looks like this is the Barry Shott offering a good position. -- the
:35:30. > :35:36.only shot. He needs to make the most of this opportunity, because
:35:36. > :35:46.he has hardly scored. He made a 115 break in the first frame. The break
:35:46. > :35:49.
:35:49. > :35:55.That is not inch-perfect. He needs to be straight on the red so that
:35:55. > :36:01.he can easily get on the black. He has a little bit of work to do with
:36:01. > :36:06.the cue ball. He should have been better than this. It is a delicate
:36:06. > :36:16.little shot for the black. But that is the angle he has got. If he does
:36:16. > :36:16.
:36:16. > :36:26.not fancy that, he is going to have And the green is slightly in the

:36:42. > :36:46.
:36:46. > :36:52.He needs to keep on running. That is finishing straight, so he's
:36:52. > :37:02.going to have a medium distance pot. The reds to the left side of the
:37:02. > :37:12.table. Two of them are available. He just screws back to him between
:37:12. > :37:16.
:37:16. > :37:21.where the cue ball and the blue is. There is little bit of pressure on
:37:21. > :37:25.this one. He has to play it with a little bit of pace. He has a
:37:25. > :37:30.tendency to make these a bit thick, but he did catch the middle of the
:37:30. > :37:36.cue ball. Has he got an angle on the blue? He is desperately looking
:37:36. > :37:44.for just a bit of an angle to bring the cue ball down to the reds.
:37:44. > :37:49.Looking at his body language, he may be straight again. That is not
:37:49. > :37:54.as easy as the previous red. A similar shot. The one to the right
:37:54. > :38:00.of the pink and reds is on, but if he screws back to where the white
:38:00. > :38:05.is now, he could take that on. The one to the left again, but this is
:38:05. > :38:15.much more difficult than the previous one he potted. It was very
:38:15. > :38:17.
:38:17. > :38:24.Good shot. Now, this time, absolutely inch perfect from the
:38:24. > :38:30.blue. Why has he overcome it the hard bits? It is certainly easier
:38:30. > :38:39.now. He does not want to overrun it. One of these two reds just above
:38:39. > :38:43.the black will go to the left corner. That puts him nine points
:38:43. > :38:48.in front. It may be worthwhile potting this black, playing a
:38:48. > :38:53.little cannon on that red just below the pink. That brings them
:38:53. > :39:02.into play. What a chance now. A chance to win his second frame of
:39:02. > :39:12.the evening. It was beginning to slip away. He had to begin for this.
:39:12. > :39:15.
:39:15. > :39:18.-- dig in. The opening red was a dangerous one. Yes, sometimes when
:39:18. > :39:22.your opponents is dominating, you have to make something happen, and
:39:23. > :39:30.that is exactly what he did. Stephen Maguire has missed precious
:39:30. > :39:40.little. Every credit to Joe Perry. It has been a great performance in
:39:40. > :39:41.
:39:41. > :39:50.this frame. Just this black and one more red and a colour. He put his
:39:50. > :39:58.tongue out there. He thought he had missed it. It is very tense.
:39:58. > :40:03.Desperate for this frame. That is why he played the stun. He is 33
:40:03. > :40:07.points in front but there is still a possible 35 remaining. Still a
:40:07. > :40:17.colour required. Yes, just pot the black. Don't worry about getting
:40:17. > :40:19.
:40:19. > :40:25.nicely on the red. Well played right in the heart of the pocket.
:40:25. > :40:35.Considering, as we mentioned before, he did not have a pot for 36
:40:35. > :40:36.
:40:36. > :40:44.minutes. That makes this effort That red going indefinitely means
:40:44. > :40:50.he has put his second frame on the scoreboard. -- going in definitely.
:40:50. > :40:56.If the black had gone in, it would have been a chance of a century.
:40:56. > :40:59.But Stephen Maguire concedes, and Joe Perry is relieved. He still
:40:59. > :41:04.Joe Perry is relieved. He still trails 4-2, but that is better.
:41:04. > :41:14.An important frame for Joe Perry. In frame seven, Perry at the table
:41:14. > :41:20.
:41:20. > :41:25.He did that in the second frame when he was looking good, and he
:41:25. > :41:35.took his eye off the pot. He was more concerned with the position.
:41:35. > :41:37.
:41:37. > :41:47.Every time he plays one with a bit of power, it just throws it offline.
:41:47. > :41:52.
:41:52. > :41:57.Can Stephen Maguire Cup this in and That is about perfect. He has got a
:41:57. > :42:01.red at the top of that bunch, but if he could get the white somewhere
:42:01. > :42:11.near the two circles and get on that red, that is what he's looking
:42:11. > :42:26.
:42:26. > :42:30.He has a choice of reds, but if he could drop on that one next to the
:42:30. > :42:40.black, it would open things up. I am not sure if he can do that from
:42:40. > :42:47.
:42:47. > :42:57.He might be able to. That looks to be spot-on. And I am surprised.
:42:57. > :43:04.
:43:04. > :43:12.When Joe Perry was at the table, A few times, Joe Perry had good
:43:12. > :43:22.angles on the blue to think about that red. Now this really opens up
:43:22. > :43:54.
:43:54. > :43:58.There was a possibility that he could get out of this session all-
:43:58. > :44:08.square with four each had he taken this frame, but if Stephen Maguire
:44:08. > :44:24.
:44:24. > :44:28.takes it, he is bound to have a The one obstacle is the red near
:44:28. > :44:38.the middle pocket. We know that he won by the cushion should not be a
:44:38. > :44:46.
:44:46. > :44:50.It is all about the one that is near the middle pocket. He's just
:44:50. > :45:00.having a quick look. It is not available, so he will have to
:45:00. > :45:00.
:45:00. > :45:45.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 46 seconds
:45:45. > :45:55.Joe Perry knows that the one red might come to his rescue. He will
:45:55. > :45:59.
:45:59. > :46:06.be hoping for that. Quite a bit of noise from the other side of the
:46:06. > :46:12.wall, and between frames. Really, if he will have to be really
:46:12. > :46:16.precise. It would have been better if he had been able to get on the
:46:16. > :46:20.black on the right side of the table. He has looked again at the
:46:20. > :46:30.angle of that red into the middle pocket. He feels that he might be
:46:30. > :46:35.able to pot it if he gets in behind it. He has a slight angle. I don't
:46:35. > :46:39.know if he can screw back and move it. Not that close to the red. He's
:46:39. > :46:44.looking to see if he could drop it in because he would be on the blue.
:46:44. > :46:49.But it is just the red he needs. The closer he can get to the red,
:46:49. > :46:59.if he can leave it straight, then you would fancy him just to drop it
:46:59. > :47:06.
:47:06. > :47:16.That is absolutely perfect. 33 points in front with 27 remaining -
:47:16. > :47:18.
:47:18. > :47:28.That missed pink by Joe Perry has cost him the frame, and that will
:47:28. > :47:52.
:47:52. > :48:02.The very high standard continues. Stephen Maguire has had two
:48:02. > :48:09.
:48:09. > :48:13.centuries, both 101. He has had a You have to say, this has been an
:48:13. > :48:19.excellent break. Joe Perry has gone in first, made a break of 30, and
:48:19. > :48:27.the balls were not ideally situated. He played it really well. Not
:48:27. > :48:30.bothered about a black. Stephen bothered about a black. Stephen
:48:31. > :48:37.Maguire now leads 5-2 with one more to play in this session. That last
:48:37. > :48:44.frame of the opening session went to Paris courtesy of a break of 82.
:48:44. > :48:50.-- to Joe Perry. Still all to play for. Don't forget you can see more
:48:50. > :48:54.of the match between Neil Robertson and Gilbert next. We will be back
