:00:36. > :00:42.Hello, a very good morning to you and welcome to the Crucible. We are
:00:43. > :00:45.gearing up for the World Championship final. Late-night drama
:00:46. > :00:50.last night as former world champion Mark Selby scraped past Sam Baird.
:00:51. > :00:51.Expect more twist and turns today. This morning, two great players
:00:52. > :01:06.never to lift this coveted trophy. I always play my best when I am
:01:07. > :01:10.under the most pressure and most expectation, against the biggest
:01:11. > :01:14.names, so for me it is great to be black playing Ding in the last 16.
:01:15. > :01:18.Just happy to still be in the tournament after what was a close
:01:19. > :01:26.first game. I am playing well, feeling good, just keep going, keep
:01:27. > :01:34.practising. I think it is to find a way to go easier, and to not to try
:01:35. > :01:39.to push myself. It is definitely a lot better from what it was, I
:01:40. > :01:43.think. His confidence may be still isn't 100%. He possibly could have
:01:44. > :01:49.gone out of the first game. I know that his weaknesses are there, it is
:01:50. > :01:53.just a matter of me exploiting them. He is playing very good at the
:01:54. > :01:59.Crucible. I have played him twice, and he also has beaten me twice. He
:02:00. > :02:12.has played very good. I think he has a feeling that he is feeling good,
:02:13. > :02:18.great. He is playing nice. I have to make sure he doesn't get a chance. I
:02:19. > :02:22.know that if I play my best, there will only be one winner. So as long
:02:23. > :02:30.as I concentrate on my game, I don't have to worry about him. He is not
:02:31. > :02:37.at his best anyway, so I don't think he has got the belief that I have
:02:38. > :02:42.got. Ruud identity about who is the favourite to win the tournament. I
:02:43. > :02:52.just do myself, just play my snooker. I know I can do something
:02:53. > :02:59.special. Snooker is not about the tables. I just need to think right,
:03:00. > :03:03.that is it going easy. This has all the makings of being an absolutely
:03:04. > :03:06.brilliant match this morning. And remember they met in the
:03:07. > :03:10.quarterfinals here at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield last year, with
:03:11. > :03:14.Ding Junhui being beaten 13 minus four.
:03:15. > :03:24.-- ying beaten 13-4-macro. Judd then was beaten by the eventual winner,
:03:25. > :03:28.Stuart Bingham. On the other table, Kyren Wilson takes on Northern
:03:29. > :03:30.Ireland boss Mike Mark Allen. We are in for another cracking because Max
:03:31. > :03:38.Roeger here at the Crucible. CHEERING
:03:39. > :03:56.-- cracking day boss Max snooker here at the Crucible.
:03:57. > :04:02.On table two this morning, making his first appearance in the second
:04:03. > :04:07.round here at the Crucible, a player ranked 19th in the world. He won his
:04:08. > :04:10.first ranking title in Shanghai this season, knocked out Joe Perry in the
:04:11. > :04:16.first round. Please welcome Kirmond is on. APPLAUSE
:04:17. > :04:37.-- please welcome Kyren Wilson. His opponent, ranked number seven in
:04:38. > :04:42.the world, the winner of three ranking titles, made his Crucible
:04:43. > :04:46.debut in 2007, went on to make the semifinals two years later full
:04:47. > :04:57.study is the pride of Northern Ireland, please welcome Mark Alan.
:04:58. > :05:15.On table one, the former world number one who has won an incredible
:05:16. > :05:19.11 world ranking titles but never this is the big one. He has dropped
:05:20. > :05:21.out of the top 16 which meant he had a qualified to get here. Maybe this
:05:22. > :05:46.is the year of Ding Junhui. And Ding's opponent, one of the most
:05:47. > :05:52.exciting players in snooker. The too has never lifted this coveted title.
:05:53. > :05:57.Coming close in 2011, when he was a runner-up. If he wins today, maybe
:05:58. > :06:09.he will get the beers in again. Please welcome Judd Trump! APPLAUSE
:06:10. > :06:28.So Mark Allen against Kyren Wilson is available on the BBC Sport app.
:06:29. > :06:29.Our live match for you, Judd Trump against Ding Junhui. Good morning
:06:30. > :06:45.Terry Griffiths and Stephen Hendry. COMMENTATOR: Thank you, Jason. What
:06:46. > :06:48.a great matchup so early on. Played eight times, four wins for each
:06:49. > :07:02.player. It could be a close one here. Yes, worthy of a final, this
:07:03. > :07:14.matchup. Looking forward to this, this morning. I can't see there
:07:15. > :07:22.being much safety play, Griff. Well, Ding had quite a strange match
:07:23. > :07:31.against Martin. Martin played quite well. Great break-builder is, both
:07:32. > :07:42.of them. So, first chance for the
:07:43. > :10:58.Just stun across, flick another read. Great result, and he's
:10:59. > :11:15.in. This is where he is so strong, another read. Great result, and he's
:11:16. > :11:30.don't really expect him to lose He relies heavily on his
:11:31. > :11:46.ball is as good as any I've seen. A clever positional shot there.
:11:47. > :12:32.cannot leave trump anything long, as It would be handy if the pink went.
:12:33. > :12:35.I think it does. It clearly does. Straight enough to follow flu for
:12:36. > :13:06.the back again. I believe this table had its fourth
:13:07. > :13:14.set of cushions put on last night, Terry.
:13:15. > :13:24.It's strange. The other table hasn't been so bad. There must be a reason.
:13:25. > :13:54.I'm sure they will fix it all in the end. He has overrun that a bit.
:13:55. > :14:06.The first test for him in this break so far. Played it well, because he
:14:07. > :14:10.didn't get the position he wanted. I think the poor shot was the previous
:14:11. > :14:15.two shots, where he left himself too much angle on the red to the right
:14:16. > :14:27.corner, which meant he couldn't stay nice on the pink. That's end of
:14:28. > :14:29.break. When Ding gets in those positions, he would expect to win
:14:30. > :14:44.the frame there. Playing the plant, an element of
:14:45. > :14:49.safety. But the distance between those two rents was difficult. You
:14:50. > :15:35.can see where he has left the cue ball.
:15:36. > :15:44.The red in the centre looks very thin cut from here. Got a straight
:15:45. > :15:47.forward safety between green and brown from the red-macro. -- from
:15:48. > :16:06.the red. That's a little bit unfortunate.
:16:07. > :16:16.Didn't envisage that red going over the left corner. It is a tough cue
:16:17. > :16:18.ball on the baulk cushion. I still expected him to get it. Not quite
:16:19. > :16:28.settled yet, Judd Trump. A slow start, of course, in his
:16:29. > :18:06.first round match. Ding definitely be looking for a
:18:07. > :18:12.quick start in this match. Last year, after the first session
:18:13. > :18:17.against Judd Trump, he found himself at least 6-2 down. We'll need to get
:18:18. > :19:05.a good start this morning. This black is frame ball, but he
:19:06. > :19:10.would like it a bit easier than this. Have to keep so still in these
:19:11. > :20:23.shots. And he did. Looking to bring that read into play
:20:24. > :20:25.on the left cushion. Got to make sure he's not going to leave a red
:20:26. > :20:29.on. Just made sure he didn't leave those
:20:30. > :20:55.reds in that part of the table. Just one snooker required, so Ding
:20:56. > :21:16.has got to be careful here. Pretty good. He'd like to have gone
:21:17. > :21:23.a little bit further, but Trump will take this read on. -- this red on.
:21:24. > :21:39.That was a surprise, Stephen! Yes, as I said before, he's not
:21:40. > :21:48.relaxed yet. He's a bit nervy. Tight onto the cushion. You'd expect him
:21:49. > :21:49.to get this. It wasn't the case last year in this match. He never missed
:21:50. > :22:05.a ball. 30 plus breaks from Wenbo -- from
:22:06. > :22:13.Ding there. He's taken the first frame. Bit of an edgy start from
:22:14. > :22:17.Judd Trump. Three mistakes, pretty blatant mistakes, have cost him that
:22:18. > :22:31.first frame. His first safety was much too thick. Caught the blue full
:22:32. > :22:37.in the face. He's tight onto the baulk cushion here, but you don't
:22:38. > :22:44.expect him to miss it. You expect, in a match like this, for him to be
:22:45. > :22:49.ready up for it. A nervy one. Although the frame, he needs snooker
:22:50. > :22:58.'s, so his concentration isn't as intense as it would be if he could
:22:59. > :23:13.still win, but a bad miss. Just the start Ding Junhui wanted.
:23:14. > :23:17.You expect such fireworks when Judd Trump plays. You don't expect him to
:23:18. > :23:31.miss anything sometimes! A decent break off, with Judd Trump
:23:32. > :23:32.keeping the black in the open. That's what these attacking players
:23:33. > :24:24.like to see. Playing the single red in the
:24:25. > :24:29.safety. He would have to split the reds out a little bit if he played
:24:30. > :24:36.them on the left-hand side. I would imagine that would be a tactic of
:24:37. > :24:39.Ding in this match, to play more conservative safety play. The last
:24:40. > :24:44.thing he wants to do is open the reds up all the time. I think that
:24:45. > :24:52.would be how we'd -- how he would play against other people, but Judd
:24:53. > :25:02.Trump is aggressive. I think we will see Ding play more thin edges off
:25:03. > :25:08.the pack. He's been a little bit fortunate, Judd Trump. He has left
:25:09. > :25:14.the red to the right corner, but Ding is hampered by the green. Just
:25:15. > :25:35.get the cue past... I thought he should have left that
:25:36. > :25:40.one alone, myself. He could have played a negative safety. Bridging
:25:41. > :25:47.over the green there. You can see how close he was to the green. He is
:25:48. > :25:52.aware of that as well. More or less guaranteed to leave Judd a good
:25:53. > :26:07.chance if he missed it. Judd ready looking, planning to get
:26:08. > :26:12.that black back on its spot. Playing to one of these two reds near the
:26:13. > :26:32.black spot to the corner. Wants to get on the black.
:26:33. > :26:45.Where does the pink go? It's going on the black spot. It's OK. He would
:26:46. > :26:51.like to get rid of that red to the right of the pink, because his
:26:52. > :28:21.position on the pink is not so easy - to the left corner, anyway. Just
:28:22. > :28:30.He didn't hit got past the blue.
:28:31. > :28:30.He didn't hit got on the red. It's what we call
:28:31. > :28:52.I don't think there's a plant to the scabbed it! He got
:28:53. > :29:01.I don't think there's a plant to the right corner. So he went into the
:29:02. > :30:22.bunch. Judging by his body language, I think he's on something.
:30:23. > :30:34.Just one more red, then, for Ding. It is a good response from Judd
:30:35. > :30:39.Trump, this. He looked a bit shaky in the first frame, which is
:30:40. > :30:48.understandable. That's what he needed. An easy opening. To help him
:30:49. > :30:49.relax and get into his rhythm. Since then, it's been plain sailing,
:30:50. > :31:13.really. And impressive start. Judd Trump has only had one century
:31:14. > :31:20.so far, which is unusual for him. He had a bit of a struggle in his first
:31:21. > :31:24.round, 7-3 down, and basically had to battle. He came back to win it,
:31:25. > :31:41.and showed good character, or will to win. -- a good will to win.
:31:42. > :31:48.APPLAUSE He is going to need a good shop now
:31:49. > :32:06.to keep the break going. -- shot. Blew into the green pocket would be
:32:07. > :32:35.my choice. -- the blue. APPLAUSE
:32:36. > :32:43.Trick shots. Potting three balls at once, so Judd Trump does level the
:32:44. > :32:51.match. Shaking his head. That will be shown a few times, I can tell
:32:52. > :32:59.you. So you think Ding should not have gone for this red that cost him
:33:00. > :33:05.the frame? No, I feel that bridging over the green, half the chance he
:33:06. > :33:08.would get if the green wasn't there he would definitely have taken it
:33:09. > :33:13.on, but he will put a touch of side in this, he is or was going to catch
:33:14. > :33:18.it thick if you missed it, and guaranteed to leave Judd Trump a
:33:19. > :33:24.very good chance, but I must say he did grasp the chance today. I just
:33:25. > :33:30.thought he may have played that long shot with a touch more bottom, to
:33:31. > :33:42.keep the cue ball low. Then add an element of safety to it.
:33:43. > :33:56.We always say you never really relax until you have got a frame on the
:33:57. > :33:59.board, even in these long matches. Let's see if you can relax and see
:34:00. > :34:27.what kind of snooker we will get this morning.
:34:28. > :34:33.The brake off has become so important in this game, especially
:34:34. > :34:43.with someone like Judd, who will just knock these in for fun.
:34:44. > :34:51.He has lost the cue ball there, by the look of it, unless there is
:34:52. > :34:56.something I can't see full stop that was a poor shot, a very lax
:34:57. > :35:01.positional shot. He had a lot of room to get from this red into the
:35:02. > :35:08.pink. That is a very careless safety as well. If he has not left a red,
:35:09. > :35:19.in the left corner, he has been very fortunate. Looks very tired. After
:35:20. > :35:24.that long pot he made, you would thought he would push on there,
:35:25. > :35:37.didn't you? It is a bonus when you get one of those Reds left from the
:35:38. > :35:43.break. He can just about get through to the bottom one. He didn't get
:35:44. > :35:51.very close, I don't know what happened. Did he put a touch of side
:35:52. > :35:54.in it? Very tight. Sometimes you can play with a touch of right-hand side
:35:55. > :35:58.to try to square the angle up but he has looked to play the cannon as
:35:59. > :36:21.well. He had a lot of things to think about.
:36:22. > :36:32.How aggressively did he play this black? Fantastic shot.
:36:33. > :36:50.He has been a bit unlucky there. Three or four inches between the two
:36:51. > :36:52.reds, below the pink. Looks pretty straight, just a matter of the first
:36:53. > :37:07.red coming past the one. That is what he is looking at. I
:37:08. > :37:51.must admit, I would be tempted. He made a right mess of that. Took
:37:52. > :37:53.plenty of time, to be fair, it wasn't straightforward. I thought he
:37:54. > :37:59.had played that rather quickly when he made his decision because it was
:38:00. > :38:45.a tricky one. As it has turned out, he hasn't left anything on.
:38:46. > :38:52.Had to cover that read, Ding, really, to get any chance of a pot
:38:53. > :39:57.from the next visit. A very positive safety shot, he
:39:58. > :40:04.spread the balls all over the place. Ding is playing the outside red here
:40:05. > :40:08.on the left-hand side of the table. A touch of run inside. He played it
:40:09. > :41:23.quite well. So a tester for Ding Junhui. It is a
:41:24. > :41:27.good sign of confidence, as far as I am concerned. In fact he is going to
:41:28. > :41:30.refuse it. Those two reds, seemed like they had an angle to follow
:41:31. > :41:39.through on the cushion. A bit surprised. Judd Trump, it will give
:41:40. > :41:42.him encouragement, to see his opponent turned down chances like
:41:43. > :42:18.that. I bet Judd would not have refused that one.
:42:19. > :42:33.He has gone for this red, a deep screw. I didn't spot that one, to be
:42:34. > :42:42.fair. Tremendous cue power, which helps in those types of shots,
:42:43. > :42:51.obviously. APPLAUSE Bow, where is the cue ball? That was
:42:52. > :42:54.a great shock. A bit of pressure on that one. If you missed it it was
:42:55. > :46:03.bound to have cost him the frame. He may be able to get to the
:46:04. > :46:09.snookers required without taking those two reds on the right-hand
:46:10. > :46:11.cushion. A good opportunity this. He will be disappointed not to win the
:46:12. > :47:04.frame from here. One very important shot in this
:47:05. > :47:09.effort from Ding. He left himself a very thin cut into the right-hand
:47:10. > :47:15.pocket. If he'd missed that, I think he would have left Trump in the
:47:16. > :48:08.position to clinch this frame. Very missable.
:48:09. > :48:46.This pink, and that last open red, should take care of this frame.
:48:47. > :49:01.Just a touch too much side on the cue ball. So Trump may come back.
:49:02. > :49:07.Unless Ding can double this, and get back to the left centre. That was
:49:08. > :49:28.one of mine! Trump is making the effort. Good to
:49:29. > :49:43.see that. Not sure if he had a kick then. He
:49:44. > :50:48.missed the pink by a long way. A couple of long reds the story of
:50:49. > :50:54.that frame for Ding Junhui. It seemed he had an angle on one to
:50:55. > :51:00.follow through to the black crush on, or even stand for the pink. It
:51:01. > :51:05.is interesting to me. Maybe this is a tactic for the match, that he's
:51:06. > :51:13.not going to take on any risks. Fearful of being punished by Judd
:51:14. > :51:18.Trump. Never going to see the red that he knocked in. Not an easy
:51:19. > :51:23.alternative safety here, so forced into this shot. Look at whether reds
:51:24. > :51:29.are. If he misses this, it's going to cost him the frame. Manages to
:51:30. > :51:35.find a path through to the cue ball. Beautifully struck. Almost went
:51:36. > :51:40.in-off. Went on to that frame-winning break. A decent long
:51:41. > :51:51.shot by Ding Junhui. The frame before the mid-session interval.
:51:52. > :51:55.Trump breaks off. Looking to improve his safety, Judd Trump. It's been a
:51:56. > :53:32.little bit ragged so far. Judd didn't threaten the pocket with
:53:33. > :53:36.that shot there. He hasn't left anything on for Ding. He will be a
:53:37. > :53:41.little disturbed at that previous shot. That is a better safety from
:53:42. > :53:57.Judd. Not quite sure if he can get past
:53:58. > :54:00.the green to the red on the right. He's looking at coming off the side
:54:01. > :55:50.cushion, so he can't see that. The red just above the black goes to
:55:51. > :55:59.the right corner, I think. Enough to play on that. Screw down directly.
:56:00. > :56:05.He could have gone into the bunch. In the end, he played to the red to
:56:06. > :56:31.the left of the black, to the right corner. This red still cuts.
:56:32. > :56:38.If he had parted that red in the middle of the pocket, he probably
:56:39. > :56:44.would have cannoned the yellow. A disappointing end to an opportunity
:56:45. > :56:46.to score a few points there. A pretty clumsy attempt to get behind
:56:47. > :57:30.the green, it has to be said. How close was that? That could have
:57:31. > :57:53.gone in. Very aggressive all the time, isn't
:57:54. > :58:10.he, Judd Trump? It suits his style, of course.
:58:11. > :58:20.He will be disappointed to miss that one.
:58:21. > :58:29.The long pot success... Very early in this match, it has to be said,
:58:30. > :58:43.but he will hope to double that percentage.
:58:44. > :58:56.Ding will be sat in his chair, expecting that long redness to have
:58:57. > :59:01.cost him the frame. -- that long red mess. You always think the worst
:59:02. > :59:10.when you are in the chair, when you've missed a shot. Well, I did,
:59:11. > :59:11.anyway! It's a very good chance now. The red will come back over the
:59:12. > :59:28.pocket. The reds are set very well. They are
:59:29. > :59:35.a bit straight. I suppose he can see a red there between the black and
:59:36. > :59:37.pink. If he screws the cue ball, he will be OK for that one. That's
:59:38. > :00:41.perfect. Good position play from Judd in this
:00:42. > :00:44.break. Hasn't really left himself in trouble at all yet. Betting a little
:00:45. > :01:58.bit more difficult. -- getting. He has two reds to go for now. They
:01:59. > :02:06.are both difficult. Ding can only tie, should Trump miss this pot.
:02:07. > :02:38.Wow! A beautiful shot, that was. Clean and dead straight.
:02:39. > :03:07.He's a bit short this time. Still a good chance for the 100. It will be
:03:08. > :03:29.the first of the match. There's been 50 centuries so far in
:03:30. > :03:36.the tournament. Trump has just made one so far. I'm sure there will be
:03:37. > :03:40.more. Hopefully here! He does make it look ridiculously easy when he's
:03:41. > :03:49.playing well. He can move the cue ball right around the table.
:03:50. > :03:59.Seeing that long pot he knocked in. He screws it back with ease. It's a
:04:00. > :04:05.great asset to have in this game. It's not you can hit the ball hard,
:04:06. > :04:06.it's you can hit the ball easier to get the spin on. Very impressive,
:04:07. > :05:03.this. Great stuff. Very entertaining. He
:05:04. > :05:09.doesn't fancy the black. He's made the century. It's a very good
:05:10. > :05:14.session of snooker, I must say. It ends at two frames each.
:05:15. > :05:19.STUDIO: Terry, thank you very much. We knew it was going to be a decent
:05:20. > :05:24.snooker match. Yet another century break at the Crucible. This is how
:05:25. > :05:28.we are looking for tournament centuries. 2015 World Cup a
:05:29. > :05:32.record-breaking year with 86. Stephen Hendry has just popped out
:05:33. > :05:41.of the commentary box to have a chat about that first session. We are on
:05:42. > :05:44.target to break that record. Without a doubt. We can break it before we
:05:45. > :05:46.get the one-table situation. The story of this match is going to be
:05:47. > :05:50.who takes their chances. We have already seen both players get in.
:05:51. > :05:54.They are going to score very heavily. It is up to each player to
:05:55. > :06:00.do that when they get the chance. The moment they missed chances, it
:06:01. > :06:05.will affect confidence. Trump got over the line against Liang Wenbo.
:06:06. > :06:11.When he is in the do you detect a different Judd Trump? Can he go on
:06:12. > :06:15.and win this tournament? Without a doubt, he has the talent to win it.
:06:16. > :06:24.You should have won it before. I sense a little bit of... I would not
:06:25. > :06:30.say Cor in Ding about Judd. But he has played a couple of conservative
:06:31. > :06:35.shots. He is wary of Judd Trump's long potting. That's understandable.
:06:36. > :06:41.He is such a powerful player and he scores so quickly. On Ding. He has
:06:42. > :06:45.dropped out of the top 16. We have to describe him as a qualifier
:06:46. > :06:49.because that's what he is, which seems strange. Do you see in him
:06:50. > :06:54.someone who can go through to the latter stages of this competition?
:06:55. > :07:00.Not as much as I would fancy Judd. I would fancy judge to win this match.
:07:01. > :07:05.I think he will be too powerful for Ding. Ding still looks a bit fragile
:07:06. > :07:11.to me. I would tip Judd macro -- judge to win this match. But things
:07:12. > :07:16.can score heavily. Thank you very much indeed. Let's look at what is
:07:17. > :07:21.happening on table two. Keirin Wilson, who won the Shanghai
:07:22. > :07:23.Masters, taking on Mark Allen. Mark Allen hasn't been to the
:07:24. > :07:38.quarterfinals since 2011. I like music, and different types of
:07:39. > :07:48.music, but I like it quite when I'm trying to actors. It is sometimes
:07:49. > :07:55.good to have an atmosphere, though. You don't do anything too hard.
:07:56. > :08:00.Don't get frustrated. Just try to keep your arm going. For us, the
:08:01. > :08:06.hardest part is the waiting round between games. You just want to get
:08:07. > :08:12.on the table. I am looking in good shape, both on and off the table.
:08:13. > :08:17.Mentally, I am in a good place. All I need to do is keep practising and
:08:18. > :08:22.getting ready for my next game. You never know what it is going to
:08:23. > :08:28.bring. It is easy to say, but it brings its own tension. The history
:08:29. > :08:31.as well, it's something you cannot create anywhere else. They have
:08:32. > :08:38.tried to recreate the Crucible in Beijing. If it moves away from the
:08:39. > :08:44.UK in general, it will be a step backwards for us. It takes a good
:08:45. > :08:49.performance to beat O Sullivan here, so I'm very happy to be one of the
:08:50. > :09:01.few who has done that. Ronnie wasn't that far off his best that day, and
:09:02. > :09:07.I managed to win. Obviously, the last year or 18 months, Kyren has
:09:08. > :09:11.flown up the rankings. Got his win in Shanghai, beating me along the
:09:12. > :09:16.way. I know his game. He is very, very talented and has a bright
:09:17. > :09:23.future in the game. Hopefully not much of a future left in this year's
:09:24. > :09:27.World Championship. It was a long way to go. I think I have the game
:09:28. > :09:33.to win the World Championship, but there's a lot of people who will
:09:34. > :09:37.think the same way. All I can do is control my own performances, go out
:09:38. > :09:45.there and give it my best, and see where I end up. Kyren Wilson has had
:09:46. > :09:50.a terrific season. He beat Mark along the way in the Shanghai
:09:51. > :09:54.Masters, beating him 6-1 in the semifinals. Kyren Wilson has had to
:09:55. > :10:00.qualify for this tournament. In the final qualifying round, had to beat
:10:01. > :10:03.Matthew Stevens. Then had that fantastic first round performance
:10:04. > :10:10.here at the Crucible. We are going to show you what happened in the
:10:11. > :10:17.first frame. Mark Allen leading by 18 points.
:10:18. > :10:41.Where the balls are at the moment is in his favour.
:10:42. > :10:49.Could knock one red onto the other, but he's got to be careful.
:10:50. > :10:58.He could knock a red into a pocket, I said! What a slice of luck that
:10:59. > :11:17.was! Yes, Mark would love to hit this
:11:18. > :11:23.first time. The pink and black are out of play. At the moment, Kyren
:11:24. > :11:34.still needs those. Even though there is only 17 points in it.
:11:35. > :12:00.Noise coming from the other table, but a good hit from Mark Allen.
:12:01. > :12:07.Unfortunately, he's (. Kyren Wilson just doing his sums. Only 17 points
:12:08. > :12:23.behind. So yellow, red and blue. Up to the
:12:24. > :12:31.pink. If he takes a brown, he could still win with the pink. Should take
:12:32. > :12:50.the green now. Was trying to bring the black out into play!
:12:51. > :13:01.That needed to run. Go buy that blue. It's just OK. 13 points
:13:02. > :13:07.behind. Yellow, green, brown and blue is 14 points. Pink will put him
:13:08. > :13:11.the seven ahead with seven remaining. He will need all
:13:12. > :13:34.remaining colours to win this frame. As you said, it was so important to
:13:35. > :13:53.hit that red first time. An extra valuable four points. He's
:13:54. > :14:03.got to get a nice angle on the blue to try and disturbed that pink. He
:14:04. > :14:06.did a clearance against Joe Perry in this previous round that was
:14:07. > :14:13.unbelievable. This would be just as good. Needs to be on the half ball
:14:14. > :14:20.blew so he can move the pink interplay. I think the white is just
:14:21. > :14:24.about OK. It's perfect. He's got to move the pink, and get an angle on
:14:25. > :14:26.it to get back onto the black. It is tough going at the minute. But a
:14:27. > :14:39.chance. He wants to try and knock the pink
:14:40. > :14:50.possibly over the middle or down the bottom corner. Too far for the
:14:51. > :14:57.middle. Too much pace on it. Now, he is one point in front. Will he try
:14:58. > :15:03.and popped the pink? -- pot the pink. He's looking at a cross double
:15:04. > :15:19.into the green pocket with safety in mind.
:15:20. > :15:39.A pretty good shot. He had a girl that top pocket. I think so. Of
:15:40. > :15:43.course, if it does going from he has a next chance. He did play an
:15:44. > :16:28.excellent safety shot. This looks good, a similar shot from
:16:29. > :16:37.Mark Allen. He has to be careful here. Try to go back up into the
:16:38. > :16:55.middle of the baulk cushion. He has to be careful to avoid the black.
:16:56. > :17:07.He played that pretty well. That was an impressive safety shot, as Kevin
:17:08. > :17:10.said. The natural way he would have possibly kissed into the black.
:17:11. > :17:16.Playing that way was dangerous, but did it perfectly. There is just
:17:17. > :17:19.enough room to hit from behind, but with the white being so close to the
:17:20. > :17:26.cushion, he might not be able to get enough right-hand side. This is not
:17:27. > :17:33.an easy safety shot unless he can get behind the pink. If that white
:17:34. > :17:44.was 34 inches off the cushion he could play with lots of side. And he
:17:45. > :17:45.can from here. The last five or six safety shots have been right out of
:17:46. > :18:27.the top drawer. The nice tab on the table by Mark
:18:28. > :18:37.Allen in appreciation of the safety shot. He cannot buy the up and down,
:18:38. > :18:38.the black is in the way. He has to somehow tipped the pink to the site
:18:39. > :18:55.cushion. That is pretty good. He will
:18:56. > :19:01.certainly be happy with that. Wilson is one point ahead, the bank will
:19:02. > :19:17.put in seven ahead with seven left. It might be worth having a go. He
:19:18. > :19:24.doesn't like it. The only problem with that shot is he good loses
:19:25. > :19:27.insurance here, because Mark Allen might bring this black interplay,
:19:28. > :19:32.hopefully hold the black with a pink is. Got it all wrong, and that could
:19:33. > :19:47.be end of frame. Is that all right, he said to Kyren
:19:48. > :19:55.Wilson. He could not have asked for better than that after almost 34
:19:56. > :20:00.minutes of play. It is Kyren Wilson who putts-mac pink and black to win
:20:01. > :20:03.and elongated first frame, but he does not mind and gets his first
:20:04. > :20:10.frame on board, the first frame of the morning. Kyren Wilson leads Mark
:20:11. > :20:13.Allen by 1-0. He will be disappointed by that first frame.
:20:14. > :20:25.Into frame two, Wilson leading by 25. Comment it out he has played the
:20:26. > :20:35.pot. A fabulous pot. Very dangerous at that speed. Yes, and what an
:20:36. > :20:42.angle. It was well calculate it. You could see where the cue ball was.
:20:43. > :20:56.Leave the red into the green pocket. This is a pressure pot.
:20:57. > :21:05.That was an excellent pot, well played. He was forced into it. If he
:21:06. > :21:46.misses, it is the only red he has on.
:21:47. > :21:52.The corner might be the best choice. Unless he can get the gap to get
:21:53. > :21:54.onto the pink, it is tough to get onto the black, so he might take it
:21:55. > :22:09.to the corner. And now has choices to get straight
:22:10. > :22:21.on to the red which is on the pink spot. Just the pace. If he gets on
:22:22. > :22:22.the red straight on this pink spot, every chance to take the frame at
:22:23. > :23:38.this visit. A little thin on the blue. If he
:23:39. > :23:51.plays the blue he may have to play the cannon into the three reds.
:23:52. > :24:01.He will be fortunate if he is on this red, and he held his hand up,
:24:02. > :24:06.he is fortunate. But you have to take your luck when you get it. Two
:24:07. > :24:37.more reds after this next black. The two near the front.
:24:38. > :24:53.Play that nicely on the right-hand side, back up for blue.
:24:54. > :25:10.Acknowledged that is more or less frame ball.
:25:11. > :25:16.I'm sure when Mark Allen played at last safety shot he thought he would
:25:17. > :25:22.be coming to the table very soon indeed, but it was a wonderful pot
:25:23. > :25:28.to the centre pocket that started this break. Did not see this coming,
:25:29. > :25:49.losing the frame from it. It didn't go in. The highest break
:25:50. > :25:57.of the match so far, 50, Kyren Wilson goes to clear. STUDIO: This
:25:58. > :26:03.illiberal in performance from Kyren Wilson, look at that for a double.
:26:04. > :26:06.Kyren Wilson winning frame three. Mark Allen leads the career
:26:07. > :26:09.head-to-head stats by 3-1, but you would never have thought that
:26:10. > :26:15.judging by the performance of this young man this morning. That match
:26:16. > :26:17.is available on the BBC sport app, and these are life pictures of the
:26:18. > :26:22.Crucible in Sheffield. Our live match for you this morning at the
:26:23. > :26:26.World Championships is Judd Trump against Ding Junhui, 2-2. Let's
:26:27. > :26:41.rejoin our commentators. COMMENTATOR: Chose to play with a
:26:42. > :26:54.lot of running side. He had one tough pot to start with, and in an
:26:55. > :26:57.awkward pink in the middle. Ding will not be happy with this because
:26:58. > :27:01.he has left him on the other side of the table last two times he has
:27:02. > :27:09.broken off, now he has left that one on the other side. We just saw Ding
:27:10. > :27:13.pouring water into this class, you looked up, saw the red going in,
:27:14. > :27:15.look straight down again. That is what you get when you played Judd
:27:16. > :27:43.Trump, I'm afraid. He looks pretty sharp this morning.
:27:44. > :27:54.When he gets in amongst the balls. Such a powerful player. This needs
:27:55. > :28:02.to bounce. A little bit careless there will stop you will be forced
:28:03. > :28:08.to go into the five reds and the pink. Does not really need to play a
:28:09. > :28:19.lot of pace, just basically to hold the cue ball. A little bit surprised
:28:20. > :28:33.he did not go into the main bunch there.
:28:34. > :28:48.Judd Trump, 51. That is unexpected. The red in the middle. Would not
:28:49. > :28:52.have expected him to miss that one. Just a little careless positional
:28:53. > :28:53.shot. A couple of inches too short getting nicely on the black, and
:28:54. > :29:10.that is what happens. A lot of times when you have emerged
:29:11. > :29:13.between two top players, it is the frames you win when you shouldn't
:29:14. > :29:15.have the ones that will decide the match. And this could be one of
:29:16. > :29:32.those. Yes, on the split scores, he played
:29:33. > :29:44.against the best splits when he was in the pack. Did not quite get the
:29:45. > :29:53.spin then, but should be able to go in often a fork on the blue. Lots of
:29:54. > :29:56.left-hand side on the cue ball. Foul-mac reds around the pink, they
:29:57. > :30:07.are all covering each other, so he can play the two reds on the left of
:30:08. > :30:12.the table here. He got so much right-hand side on the cue ball they
:30:13. > :30:20.are eventually slid off the second cushion.
:30:21. > :30:27.It is not that cushion, the next cushion, you can see it comes off a
:30:28. > :30:40.wider angle than normal. Add to that of pace to the cue ball. I think the
:30:41. > :30:47.pink cos. Still a good chance. Not in prime position just yet, but he'd
:30:48. > :31:31.be disappointed if he did not win it from here.
:31:32. > :31:39.That is a very clumsy positional shot. Very unusual for Ding Junhui.
:31:40. > :31:42.Usually has the cue ball on a string. He potted the yellow on the
:31:43. > :32:01.right-hand side of the pocket. I think he will be happy with that,
:32:02. > :32:08.Terry. He has just run a little bit too far. Can he avoid those two reds
:32:09. > :32:12.and avoid canning? He will have to make contact with the two reds, and
:32:13. > :32:23.is not guaranteed to finish on something here. He'd love to be able
:32:24. > :32:34.to screw past those two reds get to the red next to the pink. It's
:32:35. > :32:36.amazing when you slip out of position when there is a really good
:32:37. > :32:52.chance, sometimes you just cannot get accurate. He's OK here, but...
:32:53. > :33:00.It doesn't look the best angle he's got on the black. The pink and black
:33:01. > :33:04.goes to the right corner. He would like to finish low on that and then
:33:05. > :33:12.can he nudge the pink and the other red interplay. Obviously goes to the
:33:13. > :33:17.left centre as well. He will not be able to move that red. The remaining
:33:18. > :33:21.red, after potting this one. So he needs an angle on the black. It
:33:22. > :33:33.should be no problem, the angle he has got on this pot.
:33:34. > :33:40.To be fair, the way the reds were set before, he is making hard work
:33:41. > :33:42.of this. Looks like he will need lots of top spin off the right-hand
:33:43. > :34:04.side cushion. Just one or two bad positional
:34:05. > :34:13.shots. The first one, the yellow, after that he never regained perfect
:34:14. > :34:21.addition. He is right back in the frame. But for your own confidence
:34:22. > :34:34.you want to pinch those frames in one visit.
:34:35. > :34:40.Made a bit of a mess of that one. He has left an easy smoker on now for
:34:41. > :35:21.Judd. And not sure if he can swerve around
:35:22. > :35:36.this blue. He is having a look at that. Makes it a bit easier to hit.
:35:37. > :35:50.If you left out on he'd be lucky. We saw Judd miss one similar to this in
:35:51. > :36:25.the first frame. It is a good pot. Not the best position.
:36:26. > :36:34.He is obviously taking this pink on. He will stun the cue ball, maybe,
:36:35. > :36:47.two or three inches, leave himself a long yellow.
:36:48. > :37:01.I'm shocked. Phone the doctor. I think it is a sign of respect for
:37:02. > :37:05.your opponent. He respects Ding. He has had a big lead in this frame,
:37:06. > :37:10.and does not want to lose it, obviously. But I am surprised he did
:37:11. > :37:17.not take that pink on. I think he would have made that pink, he would
:37:18. > :37:26.have made it seven out of ten, I should think, he is such a good
:37:27. > :38:28.potter. I bet he wishes he took it on now.
:38:29. > :38:36.That cue ball has just crept past the blue to leave it to the right
:38:37. > :38:44.centre. Can he get enough top spin over to the pink? Yes, that is
:38:45. > :38:50.pretty good. This is a smelly pink for frame. They always say the
:38:51. > :38:55.harder you hit this, the more difficult the pot. If you hit it
:38:56. > :39:10.dead weight there is a bit answer could wriggle in, but if you miss it
:39:11. > :39:14.you could leave it. A long way out. Did not play the most positively,
:39:15. > :39:19.for me. With the cue ball is, it is frame ball, you just have to go all
:39:20. > :39:25.out for the pot. If you leave it on, so be it. If you have that element
:39:26. > :39:37.of safety in your mind, you never give the pot 100%.
:39:38. > :40:10.I would have played across that I would. He could have gone across and
:40:11. > :40:22.down towards the black spot area. Half a chance here.
:40:23. > :40:31.No-mac. He has turned down a street bank of the spot early on in the
:40:32. > :40:37.frame, and then he takes on that want to go up and down the table for
:40:38. > :41:05.the black. Confusing shot selection, it has to be said.
:41:06. > :41:17.He cannot quite make it, can he? Had half a chance they are to get behind
:41:18. > :41:21.the black. What is Ding thinking of here? Will he take on this pot?
:41:22. > :41:39.Certainly not easy from here. I think he was wise there. In the
:41:40. > :41:44.circumstances but was I should think very out of ten would make that.
:41:45. > :41:49.This is a rarity, this frame. Don't think there will be many of these
:41:50. > :41:52.frames with these players getting to the pink and black, they are such
:41:53. > :41:59.heady scorers. Normally frames would be well one by this time.
:42:00. > :42:14.Judd has made a mess of that shot. Frame ball for Ding Junhui.
:42:15. > :42:24.That is a good pot. Some strange shot choices from Judd Trump towards
:42:25. > :42:25.the end of that frame. It is Ding Junhui with that nice pot on the
:42:26. > :43:40.pinky takes it to go 3-2 ahead. We conceding gently sat in his
:43:41. > :43:45.chair. Judd has left the arena. The end of that frame was a tale of two
:43:46. > :43:52.pinks. This one, I cannot believe he turned it down. Stun the cue ball,
:43:53. > :43:57.and you leave yourself a yellow well within his range, a yellow people
:43:58. > :44:05.probably pot eight times out of ten. He has turned it down, and then not
:44:06. > :44:09.even played a decent safety. And then later on, we move on, just
:44:10. > :44:16.think and black, this is a much more difficult shot, to pop the pink and
:44:17. > :44:20.take the cue ball up and down the table for the black. He misses that
:44:21. > :44:30.by long way. After that played another poor safety shot, and in the
:44:31. > :44:37.end Ding inch the frame. Judd Trump to break. I think Judd should stick
:44:38. > :44:41.to his instincts, and attack, it is most powerful game. I think
:44:42. > :44:50.sometimes he confuses himself in his shot selection. Well, perhaps he has
:44:51. > :44:57.a few people in his ear. He is such a good player. You were talking
:44:58. > :45:01.earlier on result he would have won this Championship and mortar and by
:45:02. > :45:11.now, and it does not come along. And upwards pressure. Like you say, he
:45:12. > :45:20.is such a good attacking player. Frightening. In many ways. You have
:45:21. > :45:28.got to play to your strengths. Again, per a break off, leaving that
:45:29. > :45:36.red, which we could call a shot to nothing, but not any more. Players
:45:37. > :45:42.prison confidently believe the cue ball short so they are onto
:45:43. > :45:44.something. Around the back of the black ear for the black to right
:45:45. > :46:06.corner. He just flicked that red into the
:46:07. > :46:13.middle. He would like to stun the right-hand side of the pack. He is
:46:14. > :46:22.playing with bottom, trying to screw the cue ball through the pack. Too
:46:23. > :46:27.good! He connected with that well. He is low on the black, but he still
:46:28. > :46:54.has a tremendous amount of action on the cue ball.
:46:55. > :47:00.The most important part of that shot was to miss the baulk colours on the
:47:01. > :47:15.way down. So, a bit of momentum here for Ding.
:47:16. > :47:25.Com macro made a 51 in the previous frame. -- Trump. Ding won it in the
:47:26. > :47:30.end. That is when the players feel at their best - when they are out
:47:31. > :47:33.there making breaks all the time. They feel at their worst when they
:47:34. > :47:53.are in the chair. You can't strike the ball better
:47:54. > :48:03.than that. The action he got on the cue ball was fantastic there.
:48:04. > :48:15.REFEREE: Keep the noise down, please. Just to miss the blue and
:48:16. > :48:20.the brown. He struck that perfectly. Such a boost in confidence you get
:48:21. > :48:33.when you win frames that you shouldn't. The last frame.
:48:34. > :48:39.Just lost perfect position. He was looking for a fuller cannon on the
:48:40. > :49:23.pink there. Played a good shot there. Still on a
:49:24. > :49:29.red, but he would like to be potting and staying down there on the black.
:49:30. > :49:36.We'll have to go up the table. These are awkward, when they are close
:49:37. > :50:12.together. Seems to be fine at the moment. Everything is going in.
:50:13. > :50:19.That wasn't the cleanest of pots, was it? There is one in the middle
:50:20. > :50:36.of the bunch that I think goes to the left corner.
:50:37. > :50:43.Starting to look good, Terry. Starting to look very confident.
:50:44. > :50:52.Everything is going in in the middle of the pocket, more or less. That
:50:53. > :50:57.previous shot was a bit thin. When Ding starts to time his delivery
:50:58. > :51:03.well, he gets so much on the ball. He doesn't have too long on the back
:51:04. > :51:08.swing. He is very still on the ball. At like ballplayers, you lose your
:51:09. > :51:14.timing now and again. Either go too fast or too slow. Then you lose a
:51:15. > :51:16.bit of belief out there, because you will miss a few shots when you do
:51:17. > :52:39.that. 68 ahead. 59 on. This has been a
:52:40. > :52:48.good visit to the table from Ding Junhui. From the very start. He
:52:49. > :52:50.potted a long red. A poor break off from Judd Trump, and this has been
:52:51. > :53:20.the result. Ding Junhui has had three century
:53:21. > :53:30.breaks. A bad contact on that red. You saw it jump up. Three centuries
:53:31. > :53:34.in his first round. Just a key red on the black cushion to negotiate,
:53:35. > :53:54.and this will be his fourth of the tournament.
:53:55. > :53:59.Follow through when he is screwing back. Use the jaws of the pocket to
:54:00. > :54:23.bring the cue ball out. So, yellow for his first century of
:54:24. > :54:25.this match. Fourth of the tournament.
:54:26. > :54:37.APPLAUSE Looked another player when he first
:54:38. > :54:40.got in for his century breaks, Terry. Just had that feeling, the
:54:41. > :55:24.way he was walking around the table. Fantastic from Ding Junhui of that
:55:25. > :55:32.poor break off from Judd Trump. A two frame gap opens up. So, we
:55:33. > :55:39.talked about the break off earlier on. In has done it a couple of
:55:40. > :55:49.times, and now it was Judd Trump's turned to leave a red out. They are
:55:50. > :55:55.just failing to get the cue ball either behind the yellow or behind
:55:56. > :55:58.the green. Although it is a difficult shot, prose and expect to
:55:59. > :56:05.get it six or seven times out of ten. What they have to do is hit to
:56:06. > :56:10.the last red of the break off a little bit thinner, and then it goes
:56:11. > :56:16.across and back into the pack again. OK, the split will not be so good as
:56:17. > :56:21.if you were hitting it thicker, but you definitely get safe. They are
:56:22. > :56:25.trying to do it by using side, and sometimes the cushion slides a bit
:56:26. > :56:27.with running side, and they don't get far enough over to be behind
:56:28. > :56:54.green or yellow, as you mentioned. Ding breaks off. Frame seven. We
:56:55. > :57:02.sought this match would be all about the scoring. Another break of
:57:03. > :57:07.leaving the red. Already had 85, 51, 48, 112 so far.
:57:08. > :57:19.APPLAUSE He popped it. That is why I am so
:57:20. > :57:26.surprised when he turns anything down, Terry! We keep saying that he
:57:27. > :57:32.is going to knock these in. It is such a difficult shot. He is sitting
:57:33. > :57:37.down on the ball. Has to hit it with a lot of pace. He looks as if he's
:57:38. > :57:39.definitely going to pot it every time he takes it on. He doesn't miss
:57:40. > :57:57.many of them. Judd Trump is under a bit of
:57:58. > :58:02.pressure now in this match. Two frame is left in the session. Ding
:58:03. > :58:10.just needs one of them to have a lead going in to the second set. The
:58:11. > :58:53.first real test of the match. Has he run too far? When he first
:58:54. > :58:55.hit that, his body language was such that he's travelled to far for this
:58:56. > :59:09.red. If he has, very careless. I think he played that with
:59:10. > :59:16.right-hand side to help the pot angle. That's why he's potted it
:59:17. > :59:21.thick. Just used the bit of side to square up the angle. The red only
:59:22. > :59:28.just went in the left side of the pocket, as he looked at it. This
:59:29. > :59:29.will be an aggressive shot if he takes this red sticking out the
:59:30. > :59:50.right-hand side. But for a couple of cannons, he'd
:59:51. > :59:55.have been on the black. The other red just knocks the black off its
:59:56. > :00:02.spot. REFEREE: Brown ball.
:00:03. > :00:15.A little unlucky there, Judd. Responding to the performance of
:00:16. > :00:24.Ding so far. He lost one frame, Judd, when he did a 50 break. Then,
:00:25. > :00:28.of course, he left a red on four Ding, who made a century. Not easy
:00:29. > :00:37.sitting in the chair wondering about what to do. This morning, his
:00:38. > :00:43.concentration has probably been his weakness. The frame that Ding
:00:44. > :00:49.pinched, it was a careless positional shot that let Ding back
:00:50. > :00:55.into the frame. And again, a careless shot on the blues. This red
:00:56. > :01:06.goes in the middle, I think. Judd will play a stun with running
:01:07. > :01:13.side and come round for the black. I wouldn't put it past him.
:01:14. > :01:43.Oh, the double! It was a good try as well.
:01:44. > :01:47.A bit awkward here to play an aggressive safety, with those two
:01:48. > :02:29.reds down near the blue spot there. Ding could take a chance here and
:02:30. > :02:31.cover the red neighbour centre pocket with the green and brown if
:02:32. > :02:48.he wanted to. There's risk involved. He took the pot on to the middle. A
:02:49. > :02:55.bit unlucky to get no angle on the black. I think he was always going
:02:56. > :03:03.to play just for the eight points here. There may be a gap to get some
:03:04. > :03:06.power on it. Mac yes. He hit it too well. I can't believe he's got the
:03:07. > :03:15.cue ball to there. Some good cueing not to foul the
:03:16. > :03:49.reds! He would love to be taking on the
:03:50. > :04:06.red to the left of the blue. That shows you he knows how
:04:07. > :04:09.important these last two frames are. I think if he was 4-2 up, he'd be
:04:10. > :04:40.taking one of those reds on. If Judd was away from the cushion,
:04:41. > :04:49.he might take one on on the left side.
:04:50. > :04:55.We say sometimes that Judd goes for too many, and then when he plays
:04:56. > :05:02.safety, we say he shouldn't play too much safety! I think he's in the
:05:03. > :05:21.limelight all the time, and under pressure, I feel.
:05:22. > :05:32.I'd definitely play safe here. I just think you should play to your
:05:33. > :05:35.strengths, and his strength is his potting. If he keeps putting, he
:05:36. > :05:54.just frightens 90% of the players. As Ding looks at it, the red is next
:05:55. > :05:59.to the blue. He could play a containing safety. I think he can
:06:00. > :06:05.get to the thin edge of the red, the left edge as Ding looks at it, and
:06:06. > :06:06.take the cue ball up behind green and brown. He doesn't like it,
:06:07. > :06:34.though. Didn't get a thin enough edge on the
:06:35. > :07:33.red. A chance for Judd Trump. There's a shot here... Is the pink
:07:34. > :07:38.goes to the right corner, if he plays for the pink, and slightly
:07:39. > :07:41.high on the pink, he could follow through with top spin up on the
:07:42. > :07:43.reds. If he doesn't get high, he could play for the red that's near
:07:44. > :08:20.the left centre. That was always going to be tough,
:08:21. > :08:44.to open the reds from that angle on the black.
:08:45. > :09:03.Still 30 points in front, but the way the balls are set, that's not a
:09:04. > :09:09.lot, really. Ding is having a look if he can get past the green to the
:09:10. > :09:12.Reg just behind the pink. There may be a plant on there. -- the red just
:09:13. > :09:29.behind the pink. Caught it a bit thin. Could be
:09:30. > :09:39.lucky, if he gets behind the green. Can Trump get through to this on the
:09:40. > :09:46.left-hand side? He can't. May use one of his deep screws here of the
:09:47. > :09:51.red. Those three on the left-hand side, near the top one, he can screw
:09:52. > :09:58.off the red and go up and down the table. Don't know what he's doing
:09:59. > :10:04.there. He's looking for a gap between green and brown. The blue is
:10:05. > :10:16.in the line as well. Looking at the red left of the pink.
:10:17. > :10:24.He's not looking at a three-ball plant with the screw! There is a
:10:25. > :10:30.foot between the first two reds, and another foot to the next one! If he
:10:31. > :10:32.parts this to ball plant, it's the shot of the decade. Never mind of
:10:33. > :10:54.the tournament! He had no control at all then over
:10:55. > :10:57.where the balls would finish up. He's been unlucky, that red coming
:10:58. > :11:17.down. Well, what a chance for Ding! To
:11:18. > :11:29.press home his advantage in this match. Win this frame, a chance to
:11:30. > :11:30.be 6-2 ahead. It is always great, with these long matches, to have
:11:31. > :12:19.your opponent playing catch up. STUDIO: So Ding leads by 4-2 on
:12:20. > :12:25.table one. Let's strop into table two, where there is an unbelievable
:12:26. > :12:30.story breaking here. Kyren Wilson the qualifier, is leading Mark Allen
:12:31. > :12:36.by 5-0. We showed you that he was 3-0 up, and then he rattled in a
:12:37. > :12:42.break of 55 in frame four, and then a 93 to seal the fifth frame. He is
:12:43. > :12:46.also going well in this frame as well. He could well go 6-0 up.
:12:47. > :13:06.Incredible stuff. The BBC Sport website and the
:13:07. > :13:08.BBC Sport online app, if you want to watch that live. This afternoon, the
:13:09. > :13:10.action continues with John Higgins taking on Ricky Walden. And Ronnie
:13:11. > :13:12.O'Sullivan against Barry Hawkins. Hazel will be here at 2:30pm. See
:13:13. > :13:35.you then. You look like you've
:13:36. > :13:37.just seen the Grim Reaper. Well, it was a lot to take in,
:13:38. > :13:41.wasn't it?
