:00:52. > :00:58.Good evening and welcome! We start tonight with another former
:00:58. > :01:08.champion, Shaun Murphy and his quarter-final match with Judd Trump.
:01:08. > :01:33.
:01:33. > :01:40.But went into the final session He is looking at the potting angle
:01:40. > :01:50.but, boy, is that they need! He has an easy safety of the left side of
:01:50. > :01:58.
:01:58. > :02:08.This frame for a place in the quarter final, almost certainly
:02:08. > :02:18.against Ronnie O'Sullivan. Who will it be? Judd Trump or the magician,
:02:18. > :02:34.
:02:34. > :02:44.It looks as if he is taking it on. He has changed his mind. I like the
:02:44. > :02:47.
:02:47. > :02:57.shot. I like it a lot. I like this shot very much indeed! He thought
:02:57. > :03:13.
:03:14. > :03:21.about trying to cut buddying, but Where is the red? It looks as if it
:03:21. > :03:31.might cuts. So, the chances there, 17 points the difference. Can he
:03:31. > :03:43.
:03:43. > :03:53.He has dropped nicely on the pink, and it could be the end of this
:03:53. > :04:02.
:04:02. > :04:12.He has the players' safety behind the black. He can take this on,
:04:12. > :04:19.surely. Surely, he has got to play the snooker? He seemed to play that
:04:19. > :04:26.too hard. I think he did try to move it. He didn't want to have the
:04:26. > :04:36.risky one along the cushion. This would be the bravest pot if he took
:04:36. > :04:51.
:04:51. > :04:56.well, he could have played it a lot better than that. I think he got
:04:56. > :05:06.himself a little bit confused and could not make his mind up. That is
:05:06. > :05:14.
:05:14. > :05:24.Can Shaun Murphy, with his magic wands -- weave his magic wand one
:05:24. > :05:51.
:05:51. > :05:58.more time? Not quite. Where is the She needs a good safety shot here
:05:58. > :06:08.if he is going to try and get as snooker behind the pink and black.
:06:08. > :06:26.
:06:26. > :06:36.He has got to make sure he doesn't The not the best. One good pot from
:06:36. > :06:49.
:06:49. > :06:59.is see on a colour, though? He is faced with a long black. She is 25
:06:59. > :07:10.
:07:10. > :07:15.Put the pressure on your opponent! He had the opportunity to a pot the
:07:15. > :07:22.black into the green pocket and screwed back to the top cushion. He
:07:22. > :07:32.went for the more conservative option. One lucky shot from Shaun
:07:32. > :07:54.
:07:54. > :07:58.Is it a lucky shot? He is smiling! He has left enough room for Shaun
:07:58. > :08:08.Murphy to go round the back of the yellow. It is a must hit snooker
:08:08. > :08:19.
:08:19. > :08:29.He might be snookered again, but all this sudden it is a yellow ball
:08:29. > :08:31.
:08:31. > :08:41.fight. Turn the phone off please! That is three or four of those we
:08:41. > :08:52.
:08:52. > :08:58.Excellent. APPLAUSE.
:08:58. > :09:08.Well, Shaun on two occasions has got out of the snooker and left it
:09:08. > :09:37.
:09:37. > :09:47.Enrique goes! He did not play to get on the green! Well, what does -
:09:47. > :10:01.
:10:01. > :10:07.- what a quarter final we have had Well, we have had so much drama in
:10:08. > :10:17.this deciding frame, surely there is not more to come? Can Shaun
:10:18. > :10:42.
:10:42. > :10:47.Murphy get the snooker? He will APPLAUSE.
:10:47. > :10:52.I must admit, I have enjoyed every single frame of this match. These
:10:52. > :11:02.boys have put on a show at the Crucible this afternoon. It is now
:11:02. > :11:09.
:11:09. > :11:16.just evening, and Judd Trump has It doesn't matter whether the book
:11:17. > :11:25.goes in or Notts, Shaun Murphy is a gentleman so he comes forward to
:11:25. > :11:30.cook and -- to congratulate Judd Trump. Judd Trump raises his fist.
:11:30. > :11:36.It has been a fabulous match, well done to both players. Judd Trump
:11:36. > :11:41.runs out a winner 13-12. relieved, really. A couple of times
:11:41. > :11:46.in the last round it looked like I was going out. I stayed calm and
:11:46. > :11:51.just did not miss anything. It was a real test for me to come back
:11:51. > :11:58.from 7-2 behind. A lot of people wrote me off. I seem to perform my
:11:58. > :12:02.best when that happens and people don't expect stuff off me. I was
:12:02. > :12:06.only a cat's whisker away from getting in the semi-finals. If I
:12:06. > :12:12.was talking to you have been thrown away the match it would be a
:12:12. > :12:17.different story. I thought he won it, not that I lost it. Dramatic
:12:17. > :12:21.stuff. An epic quarter-final. So, Judd Trump will play the winner up
:12:21. > :12:27.the match between Stuart Bingham and Ronnie O'Sullivan. The
:12:27. > :12:31.defending champion raced into a 7-1 lead into a morning session. He won
:12:31. > :12:39.the next four frames. He was closing in on the highest ever
:12:39. > :12:47.margin of victory here at the Crucible. We joined them with
:12:47. > :12:57.Ronnie O'Sullivan making just two frames to win. -- needing just too

:12:57. > :13:40.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds
:13:40. > :13:46.That was miserable, so a chance for She could have won three of the
:13:46. > :13:52.four frames this morning. -- Stuarts. What a difference that
:13:52. > :14:02.would have made. It could quite easily be only four frames the
:14:02. > :14:02.
:14:02. > :14:48.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds
:14:48. > :14:52.Not in an ideal position. Does he It is so hard to keep your
:14:52. > :15:02.concentration when nothing is going right. I think he has had just
:15:02. > :15:40.
:15:40. > :15:46.about enough of this match. That The way Ronnie O'Sullivan has been
:15:46. > :15:56.playing in this match, it is tough to see him not making 50 or 60 here.
:15:56. > :15:56.
:15:56. > :17:02.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds
:17:02. > :17:08.This could be another red -- this It doesn't matter where he puts the
:17:08. > :17:15.cue ball, there will always be a red available. Make no mistake,
:17:15. > :17:19.Ronnie O'Sullivan will want to get this match over as soon as possible
:17:19. > :17:25.and getting in the right frame of mind for the semi-final when the
:17:25. > :17:35.Crucible comes into its own and you have just got the one table in the
:17:35. > :17:35.
:17:35. > :18:24.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds
:18:24. > :18:32.Another break of 50 or above for Ronnie. He has not been at his
:18:32. > :18:42.vintage best this morning, but Stewart has played poorly. Still at
:18:42. > :18:44.
:18:44. > :18:54.their at 96 %, that will take some beating! -- up there. Have a look
:18:54. > :18:59.
:18:59. > :19:07.at his tournament pot success rate! I'm sure in the history of snooker,
:19:07. > :19:14.but has not happened. -- in that has not happened. Steve Davis am
:19:14. > :19:19.sure, the way he used to play he would have been right up there. You
:19:19. > :19:29.made one mistake again Steve Davis she went and sat in your seat and
:19:29. > :19:33.
:19:33. > :19:39.got ready for the next game. He is good to watch. You have got to give
:19:39. > :19:44.him credit for it is due. He has produced some scintillating snooker.
:19:44. > :19:54.To do a job like this on one of the most consistent players of the
:19:54. > :19:54.
:19:54. > :20:02.season, Stuart Bingham... look at that with their left hands! Down
:20:02. > :20:06.the cushion. He has pulled off a couple of pots in this match,
:20:06. > :20:16.another one down the cushion. Which you are correct and that would have
:20:16. > :20:19.
:20:19. > :20:25.been tough! -- with you're correct hands, that would have been tough!
:20:25. > :20:29.I think Stuart Bingham just wants to get out of the Crucible Theatre.
:20:29. > :20:39.But he will be back in three weeks' time, that has wiped off the
:20:39. > :21:16.
:21:17. > :21:21.circuit these, even though he is After that, Stuart Bingham won the
:21:21. > :21:27.next three frames. That meant they had to come back tonight. It took
:21:27. > :21:37.just 10 minutes and 46 sessions of the session for Ronnie to reach his
:21:37. > :21:43.10th semi-final at the Crucible. He could be the first man since 1996
:21:43. > :21:48.for him to retain the world title. I had no intentions of coming back
:21:48. > :21:56.playing when I finished last year. After having a year out, I have not
:21:56. > :22:02.really missed snooker, to be fair. I just wanted to come back by
:22:02. > :22:07.seeing if I have been away from it makes any difference. To be fair, I
:22:07. > :22:12.have accepted it is probably not for me. I might play a few small
:22:12. > :22:18.events if I'm bored, but I just came back because I needed a bit of
:22:18. > :22:24.money to pay the school fees. Am being honest. Justice see if it was
:22:24. > :22:30.going to be any different. It isn't. I have resigned whistle to probably
:22:30. > :22:34.playing not much top-quality snooker any more. Incredible stuff
:22:34. > :22:40.from Ronnie O'Sullivan. Let's see what frame of mind he will be in
:22:40. > :22:45.tomorrow when he takes on Judd Trump. Don't miss it. What a
:22:45. > :22:54.tournament Barry Hawkins is having. He has already marked out --
:22:54. > :23:04.knocked out Mark Selby. Barry Hawkins want this -- one of the
:23:04. > :23:05.
:23:05. > :23:48.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds
:23:48. > :23:54.first two frames, so it is seven to He has left a pot on. This is a big
:23:54. > :24:02.chance for Ding Junhui. Barry Hawkins looks for all money to have
:24:02. > :24:12.it in his pockets. Can Ding Junhui snatch it away from him? Noise from
:24:12. > :24:32.
:24:32. > :24:41.Is that too hard? He is OK as long as he can avoid the case on the red

:25:17. > :25:27.this black if possible to give himself the angle for the last red.
:25:27. > :25:27.
:25:28. > :25:33.It looks tight. Beautifully played. He has left himself a nice angle.
:25:33. > :25:43.What a frame of this would be for him to win! This could turn this
:25:43. > :26:03.
:26:03. > :26:13.He is trying here. It is good to He controlled the cue ball nicely

:26:36. > :26:43.A good positional shot my from pink If he gets nicely on the green he
:26:43. > :26:47.should win this frame no problems. Barry Hawkins will be sitting there
:26:47. > :26:53.thinking, just one more roll of that cue ball when he was on the
:26:53. > :26:57.blue, and it would have been all over. Ding Junhui is showing great
:26:57. > :27:07.character. He didn't look interested in his chair, he looked

:27:23. > :27:29.down and out, but this is an Brown, pink and blue needed. Would
:27:29. > :27:36.you believe it? Would you believe it? What a chance he has spurned
:27:36. > :27:42.there. That is the story of the match. You keep thinking she is
:27:42. > :27:52.getting something going, then, all this sudden, from nowhere, comes a
:27:52. > :28:21.
:28:21. > :28:31.Blue and pink needed to go within a frame of a place in the semi-final.
:28:31. > :28:34.

:28:44. > :28:47.
:28:47. > :28:54.Ding cannot believe it. Somehow it went in another pocket.
:28:54. > :29:01.And Barry Hawkins then took the next. Huge disappointment for Ding

:29:06. > :29:15.Barry Hawkins through to the semi- finals for the first time here in
:29:15. > :29:22.the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield. I am lost for words. I cannot

:29:29. > :29:36.much, giving 100%. I am making up some decent breaks. I cannot
:29:36. > :29:40.believe that, it is what everybody dreams of.

:31:12. > :31:18.
:31:18. > :31:28.are. The blue is off its spot. What a great pot that was. He may have
:31:28. > :31:53.
:31:53. > :32:03.played for the red by the pink. But He has been a bit loose with his

:44:49. > :44:58.performance. He has just gone a bit too far up with that. A bit of
:44:58. > :45:05.adrenalin, perhaps. If it had been straight on the yellow I think the
:45:06. > :45:13.frame and the match was all over. Getting the position on the green
