:00:34. > :00:40.Good evening, welcome to the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield, and
:00:41. > :00:45.coming up in the next few minutes, the best of the first round action
:00:46. > :00:48.on the day the chairman of world snooker, Barry Hearn, announced some
:00:49. > :00:52.interesting changes to the tournament come including offering
:00:53. > :01:00.former world champions and invited to qualify for the event in 2015. We
:01:01. > :01:01.start with the man Judd Trump, who was of course I beaten finalist in
:01:02. > :01:46.2011. The were looking good for Judd after
:01:47. > :01:51.yesterday's first session, leading Tom Ford by six - two, but Tom Ford
:01:52. > :01:56.proved a very tough opponent, winning the first six frames of that
:01:57. > :02:04.session to level things at it-8. We join it at the start of frame 17.
:02:05. > :02:11.REFEREE: Thank you, frame 17, Judd Trump to break.
:02:12. > :02:24.First to two frames. For a place in the last 16 in this Dafabet World
:02:25. > :02:54.Snooker Championship here at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield.
:02:55. > :02:59.It will be interesting to see whoever wins this match's press
:03:00. > :03:01.conference, because I am sure they will have plenty to say about the
:03:02. > :03:56.way the match went. I just wonder whether he has an
:03:57. > :04:04.angle on this red to move the red away from the black. Looking at that
:04:05. > :04:08.shot, he hasn't. When you are playing well, you get on balls like
:04:09. > :04:12.that and all of a sudden the kiss is on, but he's having to make things
:04:13. > :04:21.happen at the moment, nothing is coming easy today for Judd.
:04:22. > :04:32.Now, as he got an angle to come to move this red out now? My colleague
:04:33. > :04:49.Ken has put this line up, that is what he is looking for.
:04:50. > :04:55.Well, the angle is perfect. I don't know whether he is thinking of doing
:04:56. > :05:00.something different to what we suggested.
:05:01. > :05:06.He played it nicely. That is as good as a shot he has it nicely. That is
:05:07. > :05:10.as good as a short years have played today.
:05:11. > :05:16.He has not had a look to see if there was any plants should he go
:05:17. > :05:39.into the pack at speed. And nothing is easy.
:05:40. > :05:44.I can forgive him there for pushing the boat out, because he did not
:05:45. > :06:09.have an easy safety shot, but he has left a chance for Tom.
:06:10. > :06:22.He needs that white balance. -- to bounce. I don't think there is any
:06:23. > :06:26.red available interviews in pocket as the black. Let's see what he does
:06:27. > :06:33.with the cue ball. He has played it well, this is a great chance.
:06:34. > :07:18.-- into the same pocket as the black.
:07:19. > :07:26.The lying a little bit on good fortune there, and he was entitled
:07:27. > :07:30.to play into them. -- rely on. One more good positional shot and he has
:07:31. > :07:39.the frame at his mercy. That could be it. This is a great chance to go
:07:40. > :07:46.9-8 in front. Yes, and just look at how these reds
:07:47. > :07:54.are lined up. Most players would practice at this.
:07:55. > :08:01.He could have hit that a little bit harder. He will be running into the
:08:02. > :08:06.red here. Or he could take the top one and maybe screw up for them
:08:07. > :09:04.around through the gap. -- for the brown.
:09:05. > :09:13.Well, you cannot believe it, can you? You cannot believe it. What a
:09:14. > :09:22.let off. He did all the hard work.
:09:23. > :09:36.He missed a straightforward black. Just hit the near jaw and stayed
:09:37. > :09:43.there. What a chance for Tom Ford. He could have gone one up with two
:09:44. > :09:48.to play there. He will be absolutely kicking himself in that chair.
:09:49. > :09:53.Having seen the frames he has lost this morning that he should have
:09:54. > :09:56.won, Tom Ford, that pot success rate is very poor from both these
:09:57. > :10:02.players, but it is the first round at the Crucible. So many matches
:10:03. > :10:10.have gone close, there have been four 10-9s already this week so far.
:10:11. > :10:12.It is amazing what this wonderful theatre can do to all of the
:10:13. > :10:30.players. The Crucible collywobbles.
:10:31. > :10:36.I saw Judd's piece in the press the other day saying we should move it
:10:37. > :10:39.away from here. What are you supposed to do, move the tennis away
:10:40. > :10:47.from Wimbledon because it is not big enough? This is the place to play.
:10:48. > :10:52.He has a nice angle on the black. He is coming around to see if one of
:10:53. > :11:00.these two reds pot into this pocket. He will not bother trying to play
:11:01. > :11:09.the cannon. This shot tells you that they do, but does the bottom one
:11:10. > :11:12.pot? Well, it does pot. It is tight, it doesn't look tight from that
:11:13. > :11:17.angle but when you are playing, particularly with this pressure...
:11:18. > :11:21.As he missed it? There you go, that is exactly what
:11:22. > :11:25.can happen. When there is a bit of pressure and you are not directly
:11:26. > :11:32.behind it looking at the pocket as well as the object ball, anything
:11:33. > :11:36.can be missed. He was playing into a blind pocket there, he could not
:11:37. > :11:42.receive pocket from that angle, that is what made him miss it. -- he
:11:43. > :11:47.could not see. It is not easy, this, he may be able taking the middle red
:11:48. > :11:50.of the three and putting that into the corner.
:11:51. > :11:55.Cutting down the cushion, you would be well to get away from the cushion
:11:56. > :11:59.for the black. There is what pressure on this, this
:12:00. > :12:06.is a tough pot and he knows if he misses this with the rest on a
:12:07. > :12:15.cushion, it could be frame over. Big shot for Tom Fortier. -- for Tom
:12:16. > :12:19.Ford here. Well, he was up off it. He was a prophet completely. -- up
:12:20. > :12:23.off it. He was away before the cue ball had
:12:24. > :12:37.even reached the red. Not a perfect angle on the blue. He
:12:38. > :12:39.is going to have to negotiate the cue ball in and out of baulk under
:12:40. > :12:51.the green may be on his way here. He is going to take its distance
:12:52. > :12:57.red, but we have seen him miss countless reds like this all
:12:58. > :13:00.morning. It is 50-50 potting, this, the way the match has gone. Can the
:13:01. > :13:05.pot it? He cannot, by the look of his body
:13:06. > :13:13.language. Looking at this picture we will show you, I think he can see
:13:14. > :13:21.enough of it to put it. -- pot. The blue will help, it is
:13:22. > :13:28.just the perfect path past the blue to hit the red.
:13:29. > :13:35.The blue may help his. Well played. A lot of pressure on that, 25 points
:13:36. > :13:43.in front, the black will put him on 32. He will need the last red.
:13:44. > :13:52.Well, this has been very workmanlike from Judd, the tension has got to
:13:53. > :13:57.both players. It would not surprise me anything
:13:58. > :14:02.being missed at the moment. But he has held himself together just at
:14:03. > :14:04.the right time. Tom, once again, has had two glorious chances to win this
:14:05. > :14:15.frame. Whoever loses this match, they are
:14:16. > :14:22.going to have trouble sleeping tonight knowing the chances they
:14:23. > :14:27.have hard. -- they have had. Judd now, one up with two to play.
:14:28. > :14:33.Well, that was certainly a frame that could have gone either way,
:14:34. > :14:36.Judd Trump will be absolutely delighted to have been given that
:14:37. > :14:46.extra chance. He goes in front again, this time 9-8.
:14:47. > :14:49.STUDIO: And Judd sealed it in the next frame.
:14:50. > :14:55.Not a great performance at all from the finalist, even when he was on
:14:56. > :14:59.top he became increasingly frustrated during the match. But at
:15:00. > :15:03.this stage it is all about getting to the last 16.
:15:04. > :15:08.He got past Tom Ford running out a 10-8 winner and will play Ryan Day
:15:09. > :15:11.next. It was very scrappy, it was not a
:15:12. > :15:15.particularly enjoyable game but I have to take the positives, I am in
:15:16. > :15:19.the next round, that is the main thing. I always enjoy playing here,
:15:20. > :15:25.I love the atmosphere, there is with a buzz around the Crucible.
:15:26. > :15:29.As long as you stay in there are always less players and more chances
:15:30. > :15:35.of winning. It is always a good game against Ryan. It is always
:15:36. > :15:38.free-flowing. A lot of breaks, not a lot of safety, and it will be an
:15:39. > :15:43.enjoyable game, good game to watch, I think. Should be a cracking next
:15:44. > :15:48.match. And also a repeat of the semifinal
:15:49. > :15:52.at the Crucible for the semifinal of last year for Barry Hawkins. He will
:15:53. > :15:56.play Ricky Walden after winning eight frames on the spin over David
:15:57. > :16:10.Gilbert to win 10-4. Also through to the second round,
:16:11. > :16:13.Marco -- Martin Gould 10-7. Our first glimpse this week of Neil
:16:14. > :16:20.Robertson, current UK champion. He is playing Williams. Robertson
:16:21. > :16:22.took the first frame, we join it in the second, no score, Williams to
:16:23. > :16:35.play. Wasn't easy. Of course, when you
:16:36. > :16:41.have someone like Neil Robertson coming after you, you know that you
:16:42. > :16:44.cannot afford to miss too many of these, especially the way he started
:16:45. > :17:20.in the opening frame. Well, he has over hit this one by a
:17:21. > :17:25.long way. He had a choice of the red next to the blue or the red to the
:17:26. > :17:30.right corner. Is he lucky? Can he get to the one
:17:31. > :17:34.at the back of the bunch? Maybe not. If he has dropped on that he is very
:17:35. > :17:34.fortunate, he did not play for this one.
:17:35. > :17:50.And he is on it. That was a little bonus there are
:17:51. > :17:55.because, as Stephen mentioned, he overhit his last shot. All of a
:17:56. > :18:01.sudden one at the back of the pack appeared.
:18:02. > :18:13.But knowing Neil I think it will be blue, red then angle on the blue to
:18:14. > :18:15.smash it into the tank. -- pink. The pink is just away from the reds a
:18:16. > :18:21.little bit. That should not affect the shots,
:18:22. > :18:25.but he has to decide whether to go into the bunch, as well.
:18:26. > :18:40.He plays this shot very well. Well, he will be unlucky if he has
:18:41. > :18:44.not dropped on a nice one. He has won to the middle pocket. He does
:18:45. > :18:53.play that sort well, as you said, Stephen. He did not quite get the
:18:54. > :18:54.pink full ball, but three quarters ball certainly opened them up
:18:55. > :19:06.nicely. It will be interesting to see, as
:19:07. > :19:15.this match develops, when you are talking about making the 100 100s,
:19:16. > :19:20.whether he gets to the 50, 60 mark if he decides to go for the 100, it
:19:21. > :19:37.will be interesting to see how he reacts.
:19:38. > :19:46.Just a bit too hard, he may have to play another can just to hold the
:19:47. > :19:49.white, it is such a fin snick. He is looking at the green. A little thin
:19:50. > :19:55.one, but that is unnatural angle with a little bit of screw, leaving
:19:56. > :19:57.him OK. That would be the shot, you would
:19:58. > :20:10.think. Didn't quite get the cannon he was
:20:11. > :20:25.looking for. Just tried to get into the middle of
:20:26. > :20:29.them and he hit that one full ball. But if the black goes into the
:20:30. > :20:32.middle of the left corner committee still OK. He is slightly hampered
:20:33. > :21:27.here with the reds. He has let the white slip away out
:21:28. > :21:39.of position again here. I should have thought he was bound
:21:40. > :21:44.to finish nicely, he just midst -- misjudged that, Stephen. Yes, I
:21:45. > :21:50.thought he was playing to Cannes in the red immediately above the black.
:21:51. > :22:07.-- cannon. He seemed to give the cue ball a bit much.
:22:08. > :22:13.Once again comedy is hampered if he takes the one to the right corner.
:22:14. > :22:24.That is why is looking at the one into the right middle pocket. --
:22:25. > :22:29.once again, he is hampered. Even that is awkward. It is amazing, that
:22:30. > :22:47.last little cannon, just a fraction can make such a difference.
:22:48. > :23:04.One more good positional shot when he pops the black and he is right
:23:05. > :23:51.back in business. -- Wendy pots the black.
:23:52. > :23:59.You would have to say, this is looking a great chance for 94. And I
:24:00. > :25:09.mean the number of centuries he has made, not a break of 94.
:25:10. > :25:12.Very impressive start from the world number one and former world
:25:13. > :25:29.champion. Yes, he always has that air of
:25:30. > :25:36.dominance about him when he is walking around the table.
:25:37. > :25:54.Which you have to have, to compete at the highest level.
:25:55. > :26:03.I think Robbie knew when he took the long red on that he had to knock it
:26:04. > :26:09.in. Otherwise this could happen, and it certainly has.
:26:10. > :26:22.An unwanted flick, but he is OK. Just about.
:26:23. > :26:30.The frame is well and truly safe so he can just concentrate on that 100
:26:31. > :26:32.break. He has made 351 in his career, but he has made 93 this
:26:33. > :26:42.season. That was a little careless one. He
:26:43. > :26:56.will not be happy with that shot. This red is now miss-able.
:26:57. > :27:17.I mean, there is no getting away from the fact there are more
:27:18. > :27:28.tournaments, but still, to make this many centuries in a season is a
:27:29. > :27:35.phenomenology meant. -- single macro phenomenal achievement. -- a
:27:36. > :27:38.phenomenology meant. There are other top players that
:27:39. > :27:41.play another tournament is, as well, but they have not got anywhere
:27:42. > :27:49.close. Yes, it could be a record that will
:27:50. > :27:56.stand for many, many years. We have had 13 centuries so far in this year
:27:57. > :28:07.'s Dafabet World Championship. Well played, Neil Robertson. That is
:28:08. > :28:23.his 94th century break of the season.
:28:24. > :28:27.He cannot beat the highest break, that is currently held by Ricky
:28:28. > :28:37.Walden, a magnificent 137 break. We have no idea how Robbie Williams
:28:38. > :28:50.is playing, he has not had a chance. All he has done is missed one long
:28:51. > :28:53.straight, difficult red. Other than that, he has not been out of the
:28:54. > :29:10.table. -- been at the table. Well, it doesn't get any better than
:29:11. > :29:15.that. The world number one, Neil Robertson, clears the table with
:29:16. > :29:21.that magnificent break of 132. He now leads 2-0.
:29:22. > :29:25.STUDIO: It is all going very well for the man ranked number one in the
:29:26. > :29:28.world, he ended the session 7-2 up with yet another century break in
:29:29. > :29:31.frame number seven. frame number
:29:32. > :29:36.Let's bring you up-to-date with what else is happening in the evening
:29:37. > :29:40.rounds, Mark Allen taking on Michael Holt.
:29:41. > :29:44.Mark Allen took the first frame of the session to lead 6-4, we join it
:29:45. > :30:31.in frame 11, Alan to play. COMMENTATOR: There is always a
:30:32. > :30:36.possibility you can pull that shot off. He was sending it twice across
:30:37. > :30:40.that time. He didn't acknowledge or hold his hand up. Maybe he thought,
:30:41. > :30:45.I've got a chance of the blue going in. Now, he only needs the pink and
:30:46. > :30:52.he could take the double on here. It is in such a way that he wouldn't
:30:53. > :30:58.move the black. A back double, if he played it with screw, he has an easy
:30:59. > :31:02.safety shot, but the back double is on.
:31:03. > :31:10.He tried it. The reason he tried it is because the black was safe.
:31:11. > :31:20.Having said that, that's the angle had he is faced with. I thought
:31:21. > :31:22.maybe he could have a go at this and stun in behind the black, but not
:31:23. > :31:35.from that angle. This is actually quite tricky to get
:31:36. > :31:38.safe. He has to make sure if he plays it across that he doesn't hit
:31:39. > :31:42.the black with the pink. Interesting. Where is the cue ball?
:31:43. > :32:00.Where is the cue ball? Wow! He actually attempted to pot that
:32:01. > :32:02.pink there, believe it or not. He finished up playing the best safety
:32:03. > :32:13.shot of the match. He will have to stick it on the side
:32:14. > :32:16.cushion here, nothing else you can do with this one. Well, he has left
:32:17. > :32:19.a pot on. We will have a tense black ball
:32:20. > :32:50.finish, by the looks of things. He was trying something a bit
:32:51. > :32:54.special there, but he has gained the advantage. He can play the first
:32:55. > :33:04.telling safety here. I had it pulled up a bit sooner he
:33:05. > :33:08.might have taken the double on. Might still do. He has. Oh,
:33:09. > :33:12.everything thought it was in. He doesn't want to double-kiss it. The
:33:13. > :33:21.old dreaded double-kiss there! I think everyone thought the black
:33:22. > :33:26.was in. He had to make the double. It wasn't natural. He played it with
:33:27. > :33:33.pace. Everyone thought it was in, JP. I would be having the cue ball
:33:34. > :33:37.here. He played a deep screw on that. Sometimes you get a kick.
:33:38. > :33:44.Hopefully he won't, I would be having it cleaned. Well, in goes the
:33:45. > :33:49.black. I don't know what that is, telling the crowd to be quiet. It
:33:50. > :33:56.was a tough old frame that. Mark Allen will be deliked. He extends
:33:57. > :34:02.his lead, it's 7-4. Mark Allen won the next two frames to make it 9-4,
:34:03. > :34:05.needing one for victory. Could he do it in frame 14, let's find out,
:34:06. > :34:17.Allen to play. COMMENTATOR: Now then, what a chance
:34:18. > :34:24.here. He has a red into the left corner, the black is in the clear.
:34:25. > :34:26.Pink is tied up. That doesn't matter he can get out onto the black from
:34:27. > :34:37.that angle. He's lost six frames in a row. So,
:34:38. > :34:42.playing for a little bit of pride here, just to see how things go.
:34:43. > :34:44.Just to see if he can knock in a couple of breaks and then just play
:34:45. > :35:01.it frame by frame. Just checking about whether the
:35:02. > :35:05.black will go on its spot. It doesn't appear so. It's up to the
:35:06. > :35:10.yellow. No change there in this game, Dennis, it has been all around
:35:11. > :35:14.the table, the black, in this match. Only a few times the players have
:35:15. > :35:18.come to the table with it actually on-the-spot and it open and amongst
:35:19. > :35:23.the reds. It has been that type of match this evening.
:35:24. > :35:33.Good position required here. Two loose reds available, one to the
:35:34. > :35:49.back, one to right. Not easy to get on either of those.
:35:50. > :35:59.Oh, dear me, how often will you see that? He's missed it in the right
:36:00. > :36:01.corner. Have a look at this for a trick shot. He hasn't dropped nicely
:36:02. > :36:13.on the red. He was going to get down and take
:36:14. > :36:17.that in a middle pocket. He might be able to bring the pink into play.
:36:18. > :36:27.Well, he will need a bit of good fortune here.
:36:28. > :36:39.He had to trust it to a little bit of luck there. Well, if this goes
:36:40. > :36:55.in, it's not a bad chance. The pink, as we show you that long
:36:56. > :36:59.pot again, might still be available. I was going to say he may have to go
:37:00. > :37:01.up for the black here and get it back up. With the pink in the open,
:37:02. > :37:13.and the blue, he's OK. Didn't have to go up for the black
:37:14. > :37:26.there. A little bit too far for the pink.
:37:27. > :37:30.Yeah, the blue is awkward, because of the yellow and black where they
:37:31. > :37:49.are situated. Mark is a left-hander, there is
:37:50. > :37:55.still a possible pot down the cushion here. That really was a bit
:37:56. > :38:00.of a wild one from Michael there, trying to force the angle. He can
:38:01. > :38:02.get away from the cushion here, when he screws back.
:38:03. > :38:14.Oh, no! No. He will want to get this match over as quickly as possible,
:38:15. > :38:16.Mark Allen, he has been under the weather for a couple of days. He can
:38:17. > :38:57.get himself fully fit. Wow. What a shot that was. That was
:38:58. > :39:02.his best shot this evening. Absolute peach. Stun that in-off that angle,
:39:03. > :39:05.around the angles - beautiful. Couldn't have played that any
:39:06. > :39:26.better. Great shot. A little bit straight on this red
:39:27. > :39:29.though. If he screws back he will be cannoning those two reds. One of
:39:30. > :39:34.them on the side cushion. Not apparent what he can play on here,
:39:35. > :39:35.Dennis. I wondering if the pink is available into the middle pocket. It
:39:36. > :39:55.will be easy then. Yes. force the red away. He played that
:39:56. > :40:01.well. Might be a little bit hampered with the pink going on-the-spot. Now
:40:02. > :40:04.he's OK. A great chance now. That one good opening red.
:40:05. > :40:17.It has given him this opportunity here.
:40:18. > :40:23.No need for any cannons, these four reds are all clearing each other, as
:40:24. > :40:57.he pots one. That might not be the best shot he's
:40:58. > :41:01.ever played. I think the reds are blocked into the left corner pocket.
:41:02. > :41:06.He had to play a little cannon. It hasn't worked out as well as he
:41:07. > :41:17.would have expected. So all of a sudden he has to pot
:41:18. > :41:18.this red, cannon the other red. You never know where the white is going
:41:19. > :41:28.to finish. That's just about perfect. Delicate
:41:29. > :41:32.little cannon that. Didn't he play that really well? I was thinking he
:41:33. > :41:36.could have been playing it firmer than that. He played an absolute
:41:37. > :41:39.peach of a cannon there. Beautiful shot.
:41:40. > :41:47.He will want to get this match over with, as quickly as possible. As you
:41:48. > :41:53.say, he has been a little bit under the weather. If he can get out of
:41:54. > :41:57.here and have a couple of days to recoop rate before he plays again.
:41:58. > :42:08.He should be fine for his next round match.
:42:09. > :42:24.Another few inches would have been better. He may just is have to nudge
:42:25. > :42:26.the blue. It shouldn't be a problem. I say it shouldn't be a problem, it
:42:27. > :42:42.might be now. Straight on that red it would have
:42:43. > :42:48.been fairly comfortable. Now the black is the choice.
:42:49. > :42:56.Just had to sacrifice a little bit of position, taking the black, one
:42:57. > :43:13.good shot with the rest. He is already 28 in front.
:43:14. > :43:17.It all depends as to whether he can get on the black off one of those
:43:18. > :43:25.reds. If he doesn't, it's highly unlikely
:43:26. > :43:29.that he lshgs he is going to need one of the more difficult reds. 36
:43:30. > :43:45.the difference. That's 37. It will be 43 in front
:43:46. > :44:00.when he pots the pink, with still 43 on the table. He needs one more red.
:44:01. > :44:06.I don't think he will be potting one there. Looks like he can't get to
:44:07. > :44:11.the one on the left hand side cushion. Just a safety. He took
:44:12. > :44:16.these really well. Dennis mentioned, 43 on, 43 ahead. Strong favourite
:44:17. > :44:20.for the frame. The way the balls are, OK, the colours are all
:44:21. > :44:35.pottable, those two reds are going to be pretty awkward.
:44:36. > :44:53.COMMENTATOR: Just one more good pot and it's the end of this year's
:44:54. > :45:05.World Championship for Michael Holt. That's the one that will take Mark
:45:06. > :45:14.Allen into the second round. Michael Holt led 4-3. But he will have lost
:45:15. > :45:18.seven frames in a row. Mark Allen has played reasonably well, but you
:45:19. > :45:20.have to feel sorry for Michael Holt, he hasn't been at the races in this
:45:21. > :45:29.session. He's just deciding whether to
:45:30. > :45:34.concede. He's thinking about it. He is coming forward. He shakes the
:45:35. > :45:38.hand. It has been played in great spirit this match. As I say, Michael
:45:39. > :45:42.Holt just could not get his act together. He will be very
:45:43. > :45:46.disappointed. Mark Allen, who was under the weather, you have to say
:45:47. > :45:51.he will be more than delighted. He goes through to the second round, a
:45:52. > :45:58.very comfortable 1 o 0-4 winner -- 10-4 winner. Michael had chances. He
:45:59. > :46:03.didn't perform today. I wasn't a lot better. I dug in and stayed patient.
:46:04. > :46:07.If I could pull in front, Michael's head might go. He has been his own
:46:08. > :46:12.worse critic in the past. The He sometimes is hard on himself. I knew
:46:13. > :46:17.if I just got a few frames in front, like I did at 7-4, it could have
:46:18. > :46:24.went either way at the start of the session. I fancied myself at 7-4.
:46:25. > :46:28.Michael didn't throw the towel in, I think mentally he wasn't quite there
:46:29. > :46:31.after that. Well played Mark Allen. Before we say goodbye, time to show
:46:32. > :46:37.you how the first-round draw is looking with two matches still to be
:46:38. > :46:41.completed. It was all very straight-forward for the defending
:46:42. > :46:48.Champion Ronnie O'Sullivan beating Robin Hull. Ronnie will play Joe
:46:49. > :46:54.Perry who saw off Jamie Burnett. Shaun Murphy beat Jamie Cope to set
:46:55. > :47:00.up a match against Marco Fu who today beat Martin Gould. Barry
:47:01. > :47:07.Hawkins beat Dave Gilbert to set up a match, a rerun of last year's
:47:08. > :47:14.semi-final against Ricky Walden. Dominic Dale 7-2 ahead against Mark
:47:15. > :47:22.Davis. The winner will play Michael Wasley. Mark Selby beat Michael
:47:23. > :47:26.White to set up a match against Ali Carter. Alan McManus beating John
:47:27. > :47:33.Higgins setting up a match with BBC colleague, Ken Doherty. Judd Trump
:47:34. > :47:40.beat Tom Ford. He will play Wales's Ryan Day who beat Stephen Maguire.
:47:41. > :47:47.Mark Allen, winner over Michael Holt, takes on the winner of Neil
:47:48. > :47:53.Robertson, Robbie Williams. If you want more reaction from the World
:47:54. > :48:00.Snooker Championship, Snooker Extra is up next. I will be back at 1.00pm
:48:01. > :48:01.on BBC Two. Mark Selby is taking on Ali Carter. Have a great night.
:48:02. > :48:36.Goodbye for now. Ted, I... I'm not interested in
:48:37. > :48:40.coming to see Lady Gaga, sir.
