The Crucible. Home of the world championship since 1977. Enough to | :00:39. | :00:48. | |
give you goose bumps. This year, it has a a lot to live up to. | :00:49. | :02:21. | |
Welcome to one of the great British sporting venues. The Crucible has | :02:22. | :02:30. | |
seen it all. Will we see another world title for Ronnie O'Sullivan? | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
These are the men hoping to put an end to the domination of the Rocket. | :02:37. | :02:44. | |
Ronnie is taking on Robin Hull, that is our live match. Joe Perry takes | :02:45. | :02:56. | |
on Jamie Burnett. Marco Fu and Martin Gould go head-to-head. Barry | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
Hawkins, beaten finalist last year, starts his campaign. World number | :03:03. | :03:10. | |
12, Mark Davis, against Dominik Dale. Will this be the year for Ding | :03:11. | :03:19. | |
Junhui. Mark Selby plays Michael White. He had a great run last year. | :03:20. | :03:26. | |
John Higgins plays fellow Scotsman, Alan McManus. Stuart Bingham leads | :03:27. | :03:39. | |
Ken Doherty 5-4. Steve Maguire and Ryan Day busy at it. Maguire | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
trailing 3-6. And Neil Robertson starts against the time, Robbie | :03:46. | :03:57. | |
Williams. -- debutant. The atmosphere is buzzing. In keeping | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
with tradition, the defending champion opened up this morning. | :04:01. | :04:10. | |
The atmosphere absolutely electric. That was a chance. The defending | :04:11. | :04:30. | |
champion takes the first frame. Played beautifully. A sensational | :04:31. | :04:45. | |
break of 124 from the Rocket. Roll it in, let gravity takeover. Robin | :04:46. | :04:56. | |
Hull, with 102! It is 3-1. What a shot this would be. What a shot this | :04:57. | :05:11. | |
is! Tremendous, to bring the reds into play. He reads 5-1. -- leads. | :05:12. | :05:25. | |
Right in the heart of the pocket. Reduces the arrears to three. That | :05:26. | :05:49. | |
is careless. He has left pot on. Ronnie O'Sullivan leads. | :05:50. | :05:57. | |
Delighted to say I am joined by John Parrott. Last year we chatted after | :05:58. | :06:05. | |
Ronnie O'Sullivan won the first round, we said, something is | :06:06. | :06:14. | |
happening. Do you detect the same? He has played down the fact that | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
Davis and Hendry have won six and seven. But he's getting close. There | :06:20. | :06:29. | |
was one shot, from pink to black, as good as any you will ever see, it | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
could win short of the championship, and we are only on day one. And | :06:35. | :06:43. | |
Robin Hull? His long game let him down. It is difficult to explain the | :06:44. | :06:53. | |
atmosphere in the Crucible. Especially when Ronnie O'Sullivan is | :06:54. | :07:01. | |
here. It is electric. But all that when Ronnie turns up in town. They | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
are here to watch the man himself, expect more fireworks. Let's join | :07:08. | :07:16. | |
Rob Walker. What a line-up we have. Let's round | :07:17. | :07:23. | |
of day one in style. -- round off. Please welcome a player who has | :07:24. | :07:48. | |
twice reached the last eight of the grand finals, only the fifth Chinese | :07:49. | :07:55. | |
player to appear at the world championship, a Crucible debut for | :07:56. | :08:08. | |
Ju Dojung! And his opponent. A player who has | :08:09. | :08:28. | |
repeatedly shown character and courage in recent years. Twice a | :08:29. | :08:38. | |
finalist in 2008 and 2012. When he is flying high he is the captain. | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
Ali Carter! On the table number one. Welcome a | :08:44. | :09:09. | |
player who has turned back the clock 12 years to make a second Crucible | :09:10. | :09:16. | |
appearance. Fully fit once again and here on snooker's big stage. Give a | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
warm welcome to Robin Hull! Finally his opponent. An absolute | :09:21. | :09:54. | |
genius with a cue in his hand. Having a brilliant season. Five | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
times she has conquered the world at the Crucible. Welcome your defending | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
champion, blink and you will miss him, the Rocket, Ronnie O'Sullivan! | :10:06. | :10:26. | |
The defending champion is in the building. Very noisy in the | :10:27. | :10:35. | |
Crucible. Sit back and relax snooker at its best. Let's join John Virgo. | :10:36. | :10:48. | |
Thank you, Jason. You can tell from the atmosphere that everybody is | :10:49. | :10:55. | |
looking forward to the conclusion of this match. What sort of fireworks | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
will we see? He overhit that slightly, just a | :11:00. | :11:26. | |
safety left. Don't want to catch it too thick. Once again, a bit of | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
pace. The highest break, and hundred and | :11:33. | :12:08. | |
24, from Ronnie. That was always a risk. And we had Robin Hull's first | :12:09. | :12:15. | |
century ever at the Crucible, 102. We are looking at the long pot | :12:16. | :12:36. | |
success, that is exactly what John Parrott was talking about. 27% is a | :12:37. | :12:45. | |
very low. But he has played a good safety. | :12:46. | :13:02. | |
The safety success always depends on whether your opponent pots. It looks | :13:03. | :13:19. | |
like he will take this on. Nicely played. He looks to have | :13:20. | :14:42. | |
control of the situation now. Playing fractionally lower one that | :14:43. | :14:50. | |
red, he knows he must open up with this shot. | :14:51. | :15:00. | |
Tried to open, develop a few, but it went the opposite way. Right into | :15:01. | :15:18. | |
the middle, possibly. He has used power. Nicely played. | :15:19. | :15:42. | |
Horrendous kick. Yes, it just went straight on. No fault of his own, | :15:43. | :16:04. | |
that. It is not always obvious from the slow motion action replay | :16:05. | :16:11. | |
whether there has been a kick, but you can usually tell from the sound. | :16:12. | :16:30. | |
Five foot for between cue ball and object ball. | :16:31. | :16:47. | |
If it is a six foot distance, that blue that Ronnie just played is | :16:48. | :17:00. | |
considered a long pot, but I am not sure if you could count that. Shall | :17:01. | :17:09. | |
we find out? Distance between ball? Yes, I think it is over six foot | :17:10. | :17:12. | |
four to qualify as a long pot. Or the distance between cue ball and | :17:13. | :17:30. | |
pocket. Ronnie O'Sullivan has decided against opening the pack. | :17:31. | :17:37. | |
Will he make Robin Hull pay for that kick? One thing we have noticed is | :17:38. | :17:45. | |
that Ronnie has not gone into the pack as soon as other players in | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
recent years. He is confident in his judgement of pace to get the perfect | :17:51. | :17:56. | |
angle on the black whenever he wants, and he seems to have done it | :17:57. | :18:03. | |
again. But that is the problem, no matter how much your talent, when | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
you go into the pack of reds, you're alive sun block. -- you rely on some | :18:08. | :18:25. | |
luck. That was one of the rare occasions when Ronnie O'Sullivan | :18:26. | :18:31. | |
misjudges a shot. The double kiss was always on but he did not seem to | :18:32. | :18:39. | |
give it much thought. Yes, he looked odds on for a double kiss. Unlike | :18:40. | :18:48. | |
Ronnie to make a mistake like that. Snooker chance for Robin. | :18:49. | :18:58. | |
Played nicely. He needs the cue ball too slow, and it has. | :18:59. | :19:33. | |
He could not hope for a better opportunity than this, a chance. | :19:34. | :19:58. | |
A very controlled, efficient to -- Q action from Robin Hull. Reminiscent | :19:59. | :20:19. | |
of Mark Williams. He carefully gets down into position, does not waste | :20:20. | :20:28. | |
much time. Just overrun that a fraction. Very fast at the moment. | :20:29. | :20:40. | |
I would be very surprised if he did not take the frame now at this | :20:41. | :21:16. | |
visit, 21 point lead. The colours would be more than enough. | :21:17. | :21:31. | |
As we always say, Ronnie played a careless safety shot, it does not | :21:32. | :21:42. | |
matter how good you are, sat in your chair you cannot pot balls. Unusual | :21:43. | :21:50. | |
for him, to not avoid the double this. -- kiss. It has almost | :21:51. | :22:04. | |
certainly lost him the frame. This will put Robin Hull 36 ahead with 35 | :22:05. | :22:06. | |
remaining. Would you believe it? He cannot! | :22:07. | :22:14. | |
Trust the red . Oh dear. If Ronnie O'Sullivan can get a | :22:15. | :22:47. | |
snooker from this position it will really put the heat on. I think he | :22:48. | :23:00. | |
has got it. A big danger now for Robin. If he does not get this safe | :23:01. | :23:07. | |
we could have a new favourite for the frame. Who would have thought | :23:08. | :23:15. | |
that they moment ago? He needs to trust in block a bit. -- in luck. If | :23:16. | :23:25. | |
he plays the swerve he will not know where the ball will end up. I | :23:26. | :23:33. | |
preferred the two cushion, but let's see what happens. | :23:34. | :23:45. | |
I am not absolutely sure that is how he meant to play at all . | :23:46. | :24:07. | |
He struck that ball so well, crisp as anything. Not easy, you need to | :24:08. | :24:21. | |
get the weight right. It was a tricky shot. He is straight enough, | :24:22. | :24:33. | |
it should be OK. Just leave a nice angle on the black to come up for | :24:34. | :24:36. | |
the yellow, new favourite for certain. | :24:37. | :24:47. | |
You would be shocked if Ronnie O'Sullivan did not clean up from | :24:48. | :24:53. | |
here, it looks very much like 8-2. Can we assume he just put a little | :24:54. | :25:06. | |
bit of unwanted right-hand side that just pushed the cue ball into the | :25:07. | :25:14. | |
red? But still no excuse for missing that, and he will know that. Blue, | :25:15. | :25:22. | |
pink, like, for a real steal. He has just overhit that. Black | :25:23. | :25:50. | |
needed. And in it goes! Robin Hull will be absolutely am struck. -- | :25:51. | :26:00. | |
dumbstruck. He was one shot away from taking the frame, missed that. | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
Now Ronnie O'Sullivan leads 8-2. John, you say this is the best place | :26:06. | :26:19. | |
to play, but with that, comes the pressure. He will be absolutely | :26:20. | :26:29. | |
mortified. You would not miss that 19 times out of 20. But something | :26:30. | :26:35. | |
has gone through his head, he has taken his eye off it, and lost a | :26:36. | :26:43. | |
frame he should have one. How much of that is down to the venue? He | :26:44. | :26:52. | |
would not miss that in practice. 8-2. It should definitely be much | :26:53. | :27:01. | |
closer. One careless safety shot from Ronnie O'Sullivan, a double | :27:02. | :27:11. | |
kiss, but he is getting away with it, if you don't punish Ronnie, you | :27:12. | :27:13. | |
are in big trouble. There is something to remind you, | :27:14. | :27:26. | |
when braking off, do not hit the blue! It can be very costly. And | :27:27. | :27:35. | |
that, I would suggest, could be just a little bit of afters following | :27:36. | :27:43. | |
that shot he missed in the previous frame. It will have put. You know | :27:44. | :27:50. | |
what it is like when you lose a frame like that, it does not go away | :27:51. | :27:59. | |
in your mind. He is not certain to get this safe. He has left a red | :28:00. | :28:09. | |
available into the left corner. Very hard to play that shot and guarantee | :28:10. | :28:19. | |
sticking on the line of four reds. Very hard to keep that under | :28:20. | :28:25. | |
control. This match has slipped away from Robin Hull. He had a frame in | :28:26. | :28:32. | |
the first session and that he should have sealed, and another one | :28:33. | :28:40. | |
tonight. Very hard to keep motivated, fully focused, when not | :28:41. | :28:46. | |
only are you playing against a great looks to be informed, but you make | :28:47. | :28:58. | |
your own elementary mistakes. -- a great who looks to be in form. Louis | :28:59. | :29:13. | |
Tomlinson from One Direction. They have taken the world by storm. Well | :29:14. | :29:23. | |
done, nice. Where is he in the rankings? Number one! Do you think | :29:24. | :29:34. | |
he could do a cover version of Snooker Loopy? Could Chas and Dave | :29:35. | :29:42. | |
write a new one? Don't be so loopy about that, | :29:43. | :30:08. | |
Ronnie! I think he has left it available into the middle. | :30:09. | :30:27. | |
Can he put all of those bad thoughts after this mind? And just | :30:28. | :30:33. | |
concentrate on the ball in front of him? So far, this type of situation | :30:34. | :30:40. | |
has not been a problem to Robin Hull. He has looked very proficient | :30:41. | :30:43. | |
amongst the balls, very controlled. Nicely judged, positionally. As soon | :30:44. | :32:30. | |
as he can, he has got to start considering a main pack of roads | :32:31. | :32:33. | |
here, how he is going to resolve that. This ball opens up another | :32:34. | :32:47. | |
read into the opposite corner. There are two open ones, it is not enough | :32:48. | :32:55. | |
to get him near the finishing line. He has hit that a bit short. In this | :32:56. | :33:04. | |
situation, going into the pack is not so good. You have got to rely on | :33:05. | :33:07. | |
luck. I do not like this, you can catch to | :33:08. | :33:20. | |
red balls, which would send the cue ball to the top cushion. He decided | :33:21. | :33:27. | |
to screw back up to talk, I do not blame him. A wonderful cue action, | :33:28. | :33:38. | |
he got so much screw, very little power. After the green and loose | :33:39. | :33:47. | |
red, he has got to get the right angle on a colour. He has left it | :33:48. | :33:54. | |
late now. And now the wrong side of the red to get to the black. He has | :33:55. | :33:58. | |
got to use one of the baulk colours. Yellow would be nice. You can do it | :33:59. | :34:08. | |
with the green, but I used to favour the yellow. | :34:09. | :34:18. | |
He may just have the angle to screw direct from the yellow into the | :34:19. | :34:24. | |
cluster. This could be the key to the frame. | :34:25. | :34:35. | |
He has paid the price for not trying to go into the Reds earlier. A bit | :34:36. | :34:45. | |
unlucky. He struck the yellow very well. If he had more angle, he could | :34:46. | :34:50. | |
have gone more into the cluster. That is the problem when you leave | :34:51. | :35:02. | |
it until the last chance saloon. He goes back to his seat with a 23 | :35:03. | :35:10. | |
point lead. He also played the safety shot by releasing the safer | :35:11. | :35:18. | |
of the side cushion fractionally. Debatable. What you do not want to | :35:19. | :35:29. | |
leave is Ronnie O'Sullivan a Smith. A great shot. | :35:30. | :35:39. | |
They talk about his great positional play and fast positional mind. But | :35:40. | :35:49. | |
he is also one of the greatest safety players I have ever seen. | :35:50. | :35:57. | |
Yes, and coming from you, that is a real compliment. There have never | :35:58. | :36:08. | |
been many better than you. I agree, he has got a snooker brain, | :36:09. | :36:12. | |
all-round, whether it is potting, brick building, safety... Yes, and | :36:13. | :36:18. | |
he does not take much time. He very rarely plays the wrong | :36:19. | :36:37. | |
shop, where he walks away from the table disgusted at his choice. | :36:38. | :36:48. | |
Robin Hull might be able to get through to the red that has bounced | :36:49. | :36:53. | |
off the top cushion. No, I do not think so. This one is a bit riskier. | :36:54. | :37:07. | |
That is a great pot. He deserves to be on a colour. Very fast cloth. It | :37:08. | :37:16. | |
is really running on. The players like fast conditions, | :37:17. | :37:47. | |
but there is one shot it makes harder, the role up behind the | :37:48. | :37:52. | |
colours. It is hard to roll-up dead weight on such fast conditions. | :37:53. | :38:05. | |
He was playing the double. He has got it! | :38:06. | :38:21. | |
Nicely stroked in. The cue ball has finished close with the cushion than | :38:22. | :38:35. | |
he would have liked. He does not have to do much to be on the pink. | :38:36. | :38:42. | |
Desperate to get the right angle to be able to open the Reds. | :38:43. | :38:51. | |
Perhaps he was too much concerned with the line of the cue ball, a | :38:52. | :38:55. | |
glaring error, it looks like. Another golden opportunity missed. | :38:56. | :39:17. | |
It is not in. It has got a bit scrappy. It is strange to say, but | :39:18. | :39:25. | |
in the last frame, I know you want to win every frame you play, but if | :39:26. | :39:29. | |
you feel you do not deserve to win it and your opponent has handed it | :39:30. | :39:33. | |
to you, it takes your concentration level down a notch. That is what has | :39:34. | :39:40. | |
happened with money. He will soon get it back, it might seem a strange | :39:41. | :39:48. | |
thing to say, but Ronnie wants to win off his own devices, not of the | :39:49. | :39:50. | |
mistakes of his opponent. The slightly wrong path of the cue | :39:51. | :40:11. | |
ball, he wanted to come the other side of the blue. Ronnie likes to | :40:12. | :40:20. | |
play and win, anything less than excellent, he gets frustrated with. | :40:21. | :40:24. | |
He has kept that under control recently, | :40:25. | :41:02. | |
seem so proficient on that shot. It was a jab. He has got the snooker, | :41:03. | :41:02. | |
and it is a good one. The chance of four questions. A long | :41:03. | :41:15. | |
way out. Even if he was to hitting, it would | :41:16. | :41:45. | |
be difficult to get it safe. What do you reckon? That is what he | :41:46. | :41:50. | |
attempted first time. I am not happy with that, Dennis would have done | :41:51. | :41:52. | |
far better! He is still nowhere near. He has | :41:53. | :42:14. | |
misjudged two of these so far, the points racking up for Robin Hull. 44 | :42:15. | :42:21. | |
points in front. He needs another for mistakes! There was no way he | :42:22. | :42:29. | |
was going to play it from that position. I do not think Ronnie Wood | :42:30. | :42:32. | |
this this another four times! That was always going to be the | :42:33. | :42:53. | |
outcome. You would expect Ronnie to readjust. | :42:54. | :43:04. | |
The hit and hope. It has not gone safe. Surely Robin Hull will not | :43:05. | :43:14. | |
spurn this opportunity. Just! A wry smile from Robin. | :43:15. | :43:32. | |
Sometimes, it is tough to get over the line. He has overhit back. He is | :43:33. | :43:44. | |
catching the ball is very well, unfortunately there, too well. He | :43:45. | :43:55. | |
might be able to stretch over. To snooker is needed, and if this red | :43:56. | :44:01. | |
goes in, Ronnie will not bother coming back to the table. | :44:02. | :44:13. | |
He should have won the first frame this evening. He has definitely won | :44:14. | :44:22. | |
the second. Ronnie just needs to sharpen up again, but his focus | :44:23. | :44:33. | |
back. He has just lost it slightly. There were two frames in this match | :44:34. | :44:39. | |
that Robin Hull gave to Ronnie O'Sullivan. The school could be 6-4. | :44:40. | :44:46. | |
Yes, I remember one of them, Ronnie needed a snooker. In that frame, | :44:47. | :44:56. | |
Robin made it too easy for Ronnie to get back in. We saw that in the last | :44:57. | :45:06. | |
frame. It has not been all Ronnie O'Sullivan, even though the | :45:07. | :45:11. | |
scoreline is nearly over the line for Ronnie O'Sullivan. | :45:12. | :46:05. | |
That was enough. He should have won the first frame of the evening, but | :46:06. | :46:11. | |
he has got that one under his belt. An excellent second frame from Robin | :46:12. | :46:23. | |
Hull. Ronnie O'Sullivan has just nipped out. We will bring you up to | :46:24. | :46:28. | |
date with what is happening on the other table, Ali Carter lost to | :46:29. | :46:35. | |
Ronnie O'Sullivan in 2012, he is playing Xiao Guodong, who is making | :46:36. | :46:43. | |
his Crucible debut. Ali Carter took the first frame, and then Xiao | :46:44. | :46:48. | |
Guodong bounced back. We were talking about Robin Hull's nerves | :46:49. | :46:56. | |
earlier. He was nervous earlier, but some people thought he was a | :46:57. | :46:59. | |
seriously good player in the qualifiers. Ali Carter might have a | :47:00. | :47:05. | |
match tonight. He has had good results. Although Ali Carter has all | :47:06. | :47:10. | |
of the experience, he is a good player. Especially given the fact | :47:11. | :47:15. | |
that Ali Carter took the first frame so easily, and Xiao Guodong. The | :47:16. | :47:23. | |
second one. As for Robin Hull, a couple of marvellous pots. He is a | :47:24. | :47:31. | |
good match player, he was ill, he came back in 2011, he has won four | :47:32. | :47:34. | |
matches to qualify, including Peter Peter Ebdon. He has just been a bit | :47:35. | :47:43. | |
careless in part. This could be a 6-5 match. It is a remarkable story. | :47:44. | :47:50. | |
I played him in 2003, he has been around a long time. He is a cracking | :47:51. | :47:57. | |
player, he has just been careless today in certain parts, it should be | :47:58. | :47:58. | |
closer than 8-3. One thing is for certain, you would | :47:59. | :48:14. | |
not say that Robin Hull has been outclassed in this match, which is | :48:15. | :48:19. | |
something that happens to a lot of players who play Ronnie O'Sullivan. | :48:20. | :48:24. | |
He played the first round of the World Championship, that is the | :48:25. | :48:28. | |
potential banana skin for any top player. Even though Ronnie | :48:29. | :48:32. | |
O'Sullivan does not look particularly tense, I am sure he has | :48:33. | :48:44. | |
felt the butterflies in the build-up. Yes, I have been impressed | :48:45. | :48:51. | |
by Robin Hull, his demeanour around the table. | :48:52. | :48:58. | |
That is a poor safety shot. Catching the blue in the middle of the table. | :48:59. | :49:06. | |
He has just lost that competitive edge, to me, at the moment. He just | :49:07. | :49:13. | |
needs to be fired up, a good shot or a decent sized break. I would not | :49:14. | :49:19. | |
think he would be concerned with the result at the moment. | :49:20. | :49:31. | |
Very nice. Nicely controlled. He did not overhit that. | :49:32. | :49:51. | |
Once again, he could have panicked and tried to open up the reds, but | :49:52. | :49:57. | |
he played a controlled positional shot. | :49:58. | :50:18. | |
A superb shot. That is a shot we will see an awful lot in the next | :50:19. | :50:30. | |
two weeks. You will not see a nicer split than that. | :50:31. | :50:42. | |
He is having a go up for the blue. The blue not being on its spot... | :50:43. | :50:51. | |
How many times have we done that? New issue and the blue is on its | :50:52. | :50:57. | |
spot. He does not have the right angle, so a good shot is needed to | :50:58. | :50:59. | |
get back amongst the reds. This is what happens to the cue ball | :51:00. | :51:15. | |
when it goes into the pack, it is spinning backwards, it hit the | :51:16. | :51:20. | |
balls, and then it continues spinning in the direction, and if | :51:21. | :51:31. | |
you do not have the right shot, it can disturb the other Reds. | :51:32. | :51:57. | |
Robin Hull is gaining in confidence. I have been impressed with his | :51:58. | :52:06. | |
demeanour, as I mentioned earlier. He is getting chances. If he had won | :52:07. | :52:17. | |
the first frame of the evening, we could have been looking at a very | :52:18. | :52:20. | |
close match, a bit worrying for Ronnie. If he wins this frame, he | :52:21. | :52:26. | |
will definitely take us past the mid-session interval, that in itself | :52:27. | :52:32. | |
is something he would have been looking for. He has the cue ball | :52:33. | :52:39. | |
nicely under control. He just got past the pink. He gets | :52:40. | :53:42. | |
some action on the cue ball. Hitting the right part of the cue | :53:43. | :54:18. | |
ball gives you the backspin. He hit it really well. Looking for the | :54:19. | :54:27. | |
colour and one more red and a colour. | :54:28. | :54:39. | |
That is not the best positional shot. That is where you hit it, | :54:40. | :54:52. | |
below centre. As soon as it hits the object ball, it comes back. Get your | :54:53. | :54:54. | |
cue out of the way! I did! We have not seen much of one day, | :54:55. | :55:27. | |
and the only frame he has won this evening, he was gifted. The easy | :55:28. | :55:42. | |
frame ball red was missed by Robin. Robin Hull's pot success is good, | :55:43. | :55:53. | |
giving Ronnie a bit to think about. Only one snooker required, though. | :55:54. | :56:24. | |
An excellent break. One snooker required. He has lost one frame in | :56:25. | :56:35. | |
this match when Ronnie needed a snooker. | :56:36. | :56:47. | |
Ronnie has overhit the safety. Not vintage Ronnie so far this evening, | :56:48. | :56:54. | |
it has to be said. But it does not have to be vintage, | :56:55. | :57:09. | |
it is just about winning, especially in the first round, get it under | :57:10. | :57:10. | |
your belt. What an error! Ronnie can now win | :57:11. | :57:27. | |
the frame. Unbelievable! We are all gripped by this match, | :57:28. | :58:09. | |
but that is where we leave it on BBC Two. But you can continue to enjoy | :58:10. | :58:15. | |
