:00:37. > :00:41.Hello again. It is a two of this United Kingdom championship and one
:00:41. > :00:49.of the top tier is on this second day was between Stuart Bingham,
:00:49. > :00:53.from Essex, and Hong Kong's Marco Fu. Before we see the action, let's
:00:53. > :01:03.delve into the snooker vault to get some secret about the boy from
:01:03. > :01:10.
:01:10. > :01:16.Basildon, who has had something of I think I'm a very confident person.
:01:16. > :01:20.Just do it, get it, whatever! It is live! Some things happen and you
:01:20. > :01:29.get a choice and you try to look at the positive side. I used to be
:01:29. > :01:35.able to pick 10 reds up in one hand. That was my party trick! Getting
:01:35. > :01:43.into the 16 is good. Now I am there, hopefully I can enjoy it. I am
:01:43. > :01:51.pretty lazy at home! I used to do the work but now, my wife would
:01:51. > :02:00.definitely say I have a bit lazy! I did have a remote control golf
:02:00. > :02:07.trolley. That set me back a bit to. If you have a band round, you play
:02:07. > :02:11.with it -- a bad round, you play with it... In any sport, you have
:02:11. > :02:15.got to trust yourself and believe in yourself. Everything is about
:02:15. > :02:21.you at the end of the day. If you start worrying about others, your
:02:21. > :02:30.mind is not on the job in hand. You are playing the shots in front of
:02:30. > :02:34.you. HAZEL IRVINE: As for Marco Fu, he
:02:34. > :02:40.has struggled a bit to take it -- to stay in the top 32, though he
:02:40. > :02:46.did have that memorable run to the Masters final in January. Let's get
:02:46. > :02:56.into this in the early frames. The best of 11, in the company of
:02:56. > :03:02.
:03:02. > :03:09.Stuart Bingham gets this opening frame underway. A pretty good
:03:09. > :03:19.break-off shot. Not quite. Trying to get behind the yellow on the
:03:19. > :03:26.
:03:26. > :03:34.cushion. A safety shot here for This should be an interesting
:03:34. > :03:44.tussle. Stuart gaining in confidence all the time. But win in
:03:44. > :03:50.
:03:50. > :03:59.Australia was a big one for him. -- It put him into the top 16. It
:03:59. > :04:09.shows how tough it is to make the breakthrough. They call him the
:04:09. > :04:18.
:04:18. > :04:23.Well done. Where is the cue ball going to end up? Not that good. He
:04:23. > :04:33.is restricted with this positional play now. He might be able to do
:04:33. > :04:40.
:04:40. > :04:50.that from the blue, getting onto From that camera angle, you could
:04:50. > :04:59.
:04:59. > :05:09.Not a good pack to go into here. So easy to stick at the back of the
:05:09. > :05:12.
:05:12. > :05:22.reds so he needs a bit of extra That is pretty good. He has opened
:05:22. > :05:37.
:05:38. > :05:44.a few out. Marco is not under It is nice working with him, of
:05:44. > :05:49.course. He made 130 and 120 in his last tournament but has shown a bit
:05:49. > :05:55.better form than he had previously. Like many players, he got married
:05:55. > :06:05.last year and it is a change of life. He is very happy within
:06:05. > :06:12.
:06:12. > :06:18.himself. But his game hasn't been Stuart has certainly split them out
:06:18. > :06:24.there. It has worked to his advantage, not getting on the black
:06:24. > :06:34.as he intended, believe it or not, providing he knocks in this red
:06:34. > :06:37.
:06:37. > :06:42.No. Now, this is one of the pet hates in snooker. You open up the
:06:42. > :06:52.balls and give yourself a chance and miss, and in your opponent
:06:52. > :06:58.comes and pots all the balls you That is what Marco will be hoping
:06:58. > :07:08.for, but it is the opening frame, so... It will take both players a

:08:21. > :08:26.Dennis was talking there about the boy is settling down into the
:08:26. > :08:32.tournament, and the history of the mind set of the players is that the
:08:32. > :08:37.early rounds have been the best of six. But the rest of the season is
:08:37. > :08:47.playing tournaments with the best out of seven and nine. So it is a

:09:18. > :09:24.If you lose a session... I can understand the disappointment. It
:09:24. > :09:29.will go to the longer frames once we get to the quarter final.
:09:29. > :09:35.think what a players are pleased about in the new format is that it
:09:35. > :09:40.is better on television. Previously, a lot of players, until we get to
:09:40. > :09:50.the semi-final, are on the outside tables, which can be an advantage
:09:50. > :09:54.
:09:54. > :10:04.And we have young players coming through, with the chance to show
:10:04. > :10:06.
:10:06. > :10:12.And that is what the British public wants to see - the new talent
:10:12. > :10:17.coming through and how they cope with the stars. And we have a
:10:17. > :10:27.classic match - Ronnie O'Sullivan against Steve Davis. A fascinating

:14:45. > :14:53.He will be very pleased with that He has always been a bit of an

:15:22. > :15:32.Beautifully played. A pretty good Gulf as well, it is Stuart. -- a

:15:53. > :16:00.
:16:00. > :16:06.I don't blame him for not going into the reds. They are not a good
:16:06. > :16:16.bunch to go into at present. I think he has found a gap. He has
:16:16. > :16:23.
:16:23. > :16:27.left himself a choice of three A lot of people think you are
:16:27. > :16:37.playing 5, 6, 7 shots ahead. Sometimes you are changing your
:16:37. > :16:42.
:16:42. > :16:52.But sometimes you can leave yourself the choice, as he has done

:17:56. > :18:02.
:18:02. > :18:10.A good response from Stuart after that opening frame. Ooh, that
:18:10. > :18:20.seemed to kick! It might have jumped a little bit. Whether he
:18:20. > :18:57.
:18:57. > :19:07.He needs one of the baulk colours Still a good lead. He would rather
:19:07. > :19:19.
:19:19. > :19:25.be 40-odd in front then behind. -- A straight forward safety shot for
:19:25. > :19:35.Marco and fraction Lee on the thin side. But not bad. -- and a
:19:35. > :19:56.
:19:56. > :20:03.That is a good length of safety shot. So important to leave your
:20:03. > :20:13.opponent close to the cushion. Mix the sighting more difficult over a
:20:13. > :20:23.
:20:23. > :20:30.distance and the bridge in hand is You have to be careful of those
:20:30. > :20:40.types of shots. Very well played. The best safety shot of the match
:20:40. > :20:41.
:20:41. > :20:51.so far. A possible gap down the table. The two reds from the left
:20:51. > :21:12.
:21:12. > :21:17.He missed the pot but found the gap. Now, does Marco have a go at this
:21:17. > :21:27.long red? If it is dead straight, it could go into the left corner
:21:27. > :21:44.
:21:44. > :21:50.He needs to keep everything still... But he cued right across it. I
:21:50. > :22:00.don't think he has covered that red from that picture, as it looks as

:22:50. > :22:56.looking at. Difficult to get on the I tell you what, if they carry on
:22:56. > :23:06.like this, we could have a cracking match on our hands. They are both

:23:14. > :23:24.You used to play eight frames in the first session and nine in the
:23:24. > :23:24.

:27:22. > :27:27.through, Stuart, but he has done it Ooh, that was close. But it has
:27:28. > :27:37.given Stuart another chance. They seem to have opened the reds up
:27:38. > :27:45.
:27:45. > :27:55.nicely. It is fairly crucial, if There is an attacking shot. And
:27:55. > :27:56.
:27:56. > :28:06.There is plenty of room and he might be able to drop it in dead
:28:06. > :28:17.
:28:17. > :28:27.No! Close! There's a red will go into this white corner. That is the
:28:27. > :28:58.
:28:58. > :29:08.He cannot do anything with the pink at the moment. His plan might be

:30:56. > :30:56.
:30:57. > :31:06.a choice of shots. Once again, he is heading back for the blue. He

:32:38. > :33:57.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 72 seconds
:33:57. > :34:03.Good position and play. He has got a choice. He can play the cannon on
:34:04. > :34:13.to the pink and red. He could also roll the black in. It depends on
:34:14. > :34:51.
:34:51. > :34:55.Still a possible 67 on the table. I think winning in Australia has
:34:55. > :35:02.boosted his confidence. He looks so confident at the moment around the
:35:02. > :35:12.table, especially after losing the opening frame. OK, he underhit that,
:35:12. > :35:15.
:35:15. > :35:25.but the frame is well and truly There is not a lot between the top
:35:25. > :35:29.
:35:29. > :35:39.players and the rest. Winning the Australian title has pushed him up

:39:48. > :40:05.
:40:05. > :40:13.like to see the back in open play. He missed the red and the cannon.
:40:13. > :40:23.It was worth a go. If he had rolled it into the middle, he could have
:40:23. > :40:35.
:40:35. > :40:45.The blue is in, but he has not left anything so he will not mind losing
