:05:15. > :05:27.The pink will possibly go on the brown spot.
:05:28. > :05:41.This has been an excellent performance from Barry Hawkins. He
:05:42. > :05:49.has a really good chance here. The way the balls are spread.
:05:50. > :06:12.A great cue action, rarely do you see any movement? Early on in the
:06:13. > :06:21.match he missed a couple of easy pots, which is unlike him. But now
:06:22. > :06:29.he has made Raikes of 87 and 50. He is scoring when he gets the
:06:30. > :06:50.opportunity. Still on course to win the frame at this visit.
:06:51. > :07:02.This could be the key positional shot. There is that cluster of five
:07:03. > :07:08.above the black, but the top two will go into the same pocket as the
:07:09. > :07:13.black. He needs to get a cue ball back up the table. He has underhit
:07:14. > :07:25.it, so he will have to go for the blue. That is OK as long as you get
:07:26. > :07:55.a nice angle on the blue. Could not have placed it better.
:07:56. > :08:08.He has an angle to disturb the red that is above the black. That will
:08:09. > :08:25.bring both reds into play. He has got to play the cannon here.
:08:26. > :08:32.He should have played it. As we saw in the frame before the interval,
:08:33. > :08:40.Shaun Murphy left it until the last minute to get onto the awkward red
:08:41. > :08:50.and did not get on it properly and it cost him.
:08:51. > :08:56.He could have played it before. As it turned out, he got the second
:08:57. > :09:09.opportunity. Just this red required. Cannot see
:09:10. > :09:15.Shaun Murphy getting back to the table. Barry Hawkins beginning to
:09:16. > :09:24.score now when he gets the opportunities. You have two say,
:09:25. > :09:33.Ken, after his performance in the World Championship, getting to the
:09:34. > :09:37.final there is no cauldron like the Crucible is there in the final? When
:09:38. > :09:44.you have been through that, you would think you could cope with any
:09:45. > :09:47.kind of treasure. Absolutely. I am sure even though disappointed he
:09:48. > :09:55.would have been to lose that final, it would have given him tremendous
:09:56. > :10:02.confidence. Also, self belief which is a major part of any sport. He has
:10:03. > :10:20.gone about this very nicely indeed. Another good part. It was his
:10:21. > :10:27.opening red, he took the black, you said he could have taken the green
:10:28. > :10:38.as well, but the black was the right choice, and now has played some
:10:39. > :10:48.lovely shot during this break. We'll bring two reds into play here. He
:10:49. > :11:09.has made 149 career centuries. Only seven this season, 35 last season.
:11:10. > :11:21.Career century number 150. That is a nice milestone for any player. Well
:11:22. > :11:32.played, Barry Hawkins. Excellent break. He is always in complete
:11:33. > :11:46.control of the cue ball. The frame is well and truly over. Nicely
:11:47. > :11:58.played. The highest break at the moment is held by Neil Robertson. He
:11:59. > :12:02.will be disappointed with that. He made the 100, won the frame and for
:12:03. > :12:12.the first time in the match, he is in front.
:12:13. > :12:18.So, Barry Hawkins getting his 151st century break in frame five. Very
:12:19. > :12:28.tight. Into frame nine we go, it is a tactical battle.
:12:29. > :12:43.You would have to say at the moment, AdVantage, Barry Hawkins.
:12:44. > :13:07.He could part this red, but it is very, very difficult will stop. He
:13:08. > :13:09.has gone in-off the red. Playing it slow, going in-off, he leaves the
:13:10. > :14:01.red over the pocket. Normally we would be saying the
:14:02. > :14:07.yellow is very awkward, but it is not a problem as long as you can get
:14:08. > :14:09.on it nicely. You would probably think he would favour playing on the
:14:10. > :14:27.blue to get onto the yellow. He nearly went too far. He will have
:14:28. > :14:38.two force this a little bit. Needs to get near the baulk cushion.
:14:39. > :14:43.With the green being over the corner, this yellow is not as
:14:44. > :15:10.difficult as it might have been. Just gone over the 50 minute mark.
:15:11. > :15:13.It's one of those frames that when you lose it, it does hurt. You put
:15:14. > :15:34.so much effort into it. In it goes. He's come straight on
:15:35. > :15:36.the blue. He will make certain he rolls the blue in. Two snookers
:15:37. > :15:59.required. Two snookers required. Well, it is
:16:00. > :16:08.conceded by Shaun Murphy. Barry Hawkins is now within one frame of
:16:09. > :16:12.winning this match. 5-4, he leads. Looking to fin tish off. We go into
:16:13. > :16:17.frame 10, can Murphy stay in this match? He has no other option but to
:16:18. > :16:34.take this on, I feel. He was a long, long way away with
:16:35. > :16:40.that one, wasn't he? Is this black available? If it is, it might be a
:16:41. > :16:45.half decent chance for Shaun. If the pink and black are tied up, it just
:16:46. > :16:54.makes it more difficult. We will soon know.
:16:55. > :17:15.He would liked to have screwed a little bit further up the table.
:17:16. > :17:25.That was a good pot. When your object ball is surrounded by other
:17:26. > :17:28.balls, it's sometimes easy to take your eye off the pot, but played it
:17:29. > :17:48.well. Now, is he going to be on the pink?
:17:49. > :17:51.Well, I think he will probably be able to sneak it in. The reds are
:17:52. > :18:20.now nicely open. That's worked out a treat. Excellent
:18:21. > :18:23.shot. Never easy those shots when you're cutting it back into a blind
:18:24. > :18:33.pocket. He has potted a couple of good balls
:18:34. > :19:26.in this break. Everything there now in the open.
:19:27. > :19:32.It looks like we will be heading for a decider.
:19:33. > :19:39.I think, on reflection, of what has happened tonight, Ken, I think five
:19:40. > :19:42.a piece is about the right scoreline?
:19:43. > :20:00.Very high quality match, there is no doubt about that.
:20:01. > :20:06.We have had only one really slow frame. There was a lot of tension in
:20:07. > :20:14.that, a lot of safety. It lasted over 50 minutes. Other than that we
:20:15. > :20:27.have had a couple of centuries. An 80, 350 breaks. Another 50 plus
:20:28. > :20:32.break here. -- three 50 breaks. Another 50 plus break here. Ow, when
:20:33. > :20:39.we look at this deciding frame, just this red to seal it, 36 ahead, with
:20:40. > :20:46.just 27 remaining, you always think that a deciding frame is the toss of
:20:47. > :20:50.a coin, but just feel that Barry Hawkins had a chance in this frame,
:20:51. > :20:52.didn't he. He got in first. Missed a black off the spot, when opening the
:20:53. > :21:01.reds. He may be going into that final
:21:02. > :21:07.frame with maybe a few more negative thoughts than Shaun.
:21:08. > :21:48.Good time to make your highest break of the match.
:21:49. > :21:58.Oh, anyway, it didn't matter. The frame was well and truly over. So we
:21:59. > :22:05.have a decider. Barry Hawkins had a chance to clinch it, he didn't. That
:22:06. > :22:09.good high break of the match for Shaun Murray has levelled us at five
:22:10. > :22:14.all. What a match. This is why we love the game of snooker. A final
:22:15. > :22:22.frame decider and the nerves are jangling.
:22:23. > :22:28.Oh, once again just a fraction out. This time he has not covered
:22:29. > :22:33.anything. He has left Barry Hawkins a chance. If he can't get through to
:22:34. > :22:35.the one to the left corner, he can certainly pot the one to the right
:22:36. > :23:01.corner. I don't know whether he can drop the
:23:02. > :23:07.red in. He will have to stun around the back of the black and play the
:23:08. > :23:14.black into the same pocket. He's got a chance, anyway, that is all you
:23:15. > :23:21.can wish for. He has to be careful here. Just on his back swing when he
:23:22. > :23:28.is taking the rest and cue away he doesn't take his eye off the cue he
:23:29. > :23:34.could hit... Oh, just watch it. Come on back. Sometimes you can take your
:23:35. > :23:36.eye off it and hit a red with the cue and the rest. He slipped by the
:23:37. > :23:54.black, just enough. He will have to go into the reds
:23:55. > :23:56.here and rely on a bit of luck. OK, he almost has this red over the left
:23:57. > :24:40.hand corner pocket, but... That was an excellent shot. Decided
:24:41. > :24:44.to open up the reds. Knowing full well he always had that insurance
:24:45. > :24:48.policy over the left hand corner pocket. Definite, played the
:24:49. > :25:22.positive shot there. Shaun will be sat there wondering if
:25:23. > :25:25.he will get back to the table with a chance or are his UK chavrp nship
:25:26. > :25:35.hopes slipping away? The reds are nicely spread. He
:25:36. > :25:43.scored heavily. OK, he missed out in the last frame, Barry.
:25:44. > :25:49.As we mentioned earlier on in this match, that is experience of getting
:25:50. > :25:52.to the final of the World Championship at the Crucible will
:25:53. > :26:09.stand him in good stead in situations like this.
:26:10. > :26:16.Maybe a little bit straighter on the black than he would have liked, but
:26:17. > :26:20.he has got quite a few reds to play for. I think the one to the left of
:26:21. > :26:37.the pink will go to the right middle.
:26:38. > :26:43.He has slightly overscrewed it. Wanted to be a little bit straighter
:26:44. > :26:58.on this red. He managed to miss the red just
:26:59. > :27:15.below the pink. It was a good shot. When he pots this red it will be six
:27:16. > :27:16.reds, six blacks, I'm sure he is not thinking about the maximum at this
:27:17. > :27:49.stage. He does have a slight angle to come
:27:50. > :28:12.off the top cushion and stay on the black.
:28:13. > :28:20.He didn't want to risk playing the run round of two cushions. He's not
:28:21. > :28:25.perfect on this black, by mill means. I mean, OK, the black is easy
:28:26. > :28:32.enough to pot, but it's not a guarantee to be on the next red. He
:28:33. > :28:40.needs to manoeuvre that cue ball. A better angle on the black would have
:28:41. > :28:42.made it a little bit easier. I definite think one red will go into
:28:43. > :29:13.the right centre, middle pocket. If he can just part of the black and
:29:14. > :29:26.bounced a cue ball off the top cushion, he will have that red. But
:29:27. > :29:32.it is not easy. He has managed to hold for it into the right corner,
:29:33. > :29:35.that is a good shot. Another role and he would not have been on this
:29:36. > :30:00.red, but he played it nicely. I thought he had missed that. I am
:30:01. > :30:01.sure his heart skipped a beat. It's certainly wiped its feet going in,
:30:02. > :30:27.that red. He is 58 points ahead, he needs a
:30:28. > :30:28.red, colour and then one more red. Then he will have a place in the
:30:29. > :30:55.next round. Yes, quarterfinal place. This looks OK. He can run this lack
:30:56. > :31:01.in an cannon the two reds. He has just found the gap. How many times
:31:02. > :31:12.do we see it happen. Just when you get near the winning line, 66 ahead,
:31:13. > :32:27.but there is still 75 remaining. I did say a few moments ago, would
:32:28. > :32:33.Shaun Murphy get to the table? He is back to the table.
:32:34. > :32:37.STUDIO: Shaun Murphy could not stop Barry Hawkins as he sealed his place
:32:38. > :32:42.in the last eight of this tournament, and his first ever
:32:43. > :32:49.victory over Shaun Murphy. Well played, Barry Hawkins.
:32:50. > :32:53.What a match. These to come through it in the end. I thought I played
:32:54. > :32:58.city well throughout the match, scored quite well, had a great
:32:59. > :33:07.chance and got myself into a winning position. Had the balls perfect, I
:33:08. > :33:13.was kicking myself when it hit the jaws. But I held myself together
:33:14. > :33:18.quite well in the end. I was thinking about and maximum at one
:33:19. > :33:24.point, 147, but then I just thought no, concentrate on this for now. To
:33:25. > :33:32.come through and beat him and played decent, I am pleased.
:33:33. > :33:35.It was a pulsating match. So now to an all Scottish affair, Stephen
:33:36. > :33:43.Maguire took on John Higgins. McGuire made a strong start with
:33:44. > :33:52.rakes of 90, 49 and 59. He is looking good in the sixth.
:33:53. > :33:57.John Higgins down at 81%, who would have thought that? It is all about
:33:58. > :34:04.confidence and he cannot get in with a sizeable break. John's highest
:34:05. > :34:29.rate is 47! Stephen had the 90 break in the
:34:30. > :34:37.opening frame. Stephen has survived a couple of close matches. As you
:34:38. > :34:45.mentioned earlier, he beat Luca Brecel, the Belgian. It has not been
:34:46. > :35:20.the easiest passage through. Not a good pack to go into from the
:35:21. > :36:34.black. If it does go in this time, he will
:36:35. > :36:42.have to get plenty of screw on this so he does not stick in the reds. No
:36:43. > :36:55.problem with cute power with Stephen Maguire. -- cue power.
:36:56. > :37:02.Still the two loose reds. He has to get into that little triangle of
:37:03. > :37:23.reds. The black is the only ball he can go
:37:24. > :37:29.into the reds off, unless he gets perfectly onto the pink. But that is
:37:30. > :37:38.a couple of shots away from now. He cannot go into them from the blue,
:37:39. > :37:46.as you can see. He found an angle there he did not think he had. Took
:37:47. > :37:53.him quite a long way away from the next red. It is amazing the angle
:37:54. > :37:56.you can make with these very fast cloth is. There wasn't a lot of
:37:57. > :38:03.angle, but look where he has finished getting the cue ball. It is
:38:04. > :38:17.going to be tough getting these reds open.
:38:18. > :38:24.The bounce off the cushion was possibly misjudged by Stephen.
:38:25. > :38:30.Either way, it looks much too straight. He does not have any
:38:31. > :38:44.angle, he could screw into them perhaps. If he can get Dean of pace
:38:45. > :38:50.on it. Talk about an exact point. He had loads of top spin. The white
:38:51. > :39:04.ball shot forward with the top spin on it. It was a clock face, around
:39:05. > :39:14.about 12 o'clock to create that spin. You hit it around about six
:39:15. > :39:24.o'clock it you want to screw back. If you can imagine the white ball as
:39:25. > :40:00.a clock face? Those reds are lined up perfectly to the right corner.
:40:01. > :40:08.He just seems to be grabbing hold of this match now, Stephen Maguire.
:40:09. > :40:18.There have been a couple of mistakes made, but Stephen has stepped up.
:40:19. > :40:24.John had pegged him back, but he just moved up again. He is a couple
:40:25. > :40:36.of frames in front now. Has been a really good rake, this. -- break.
:40:37. > :40:45.Came up a little bit short with this screw shot, but the frame is safe.
:40:46. > :40:53.This is a little bit more like Stephen Maguire. He is one of those
:40:54. > :40:58.players, if he gets in front he can start to bully you. He is like a
:40:59. > :41:08.steam roller, just keeps on going. He is quite an aggressive player.
:41:09. > :41:16.Just the way he plays the game is aggressive.
:41:17. > :41:28.You can see he is taking high value colours. I saw Robertson make a
:41:29. > :41:41.break of 141 here. He can beat that will stop he could get as many as
:41:42. > :41:44.144. Difficult to get on the black from that red at the top of the
:41:45. > :42:13.table. McGuire has moved up a gear. That is his 13th century of this
:42:14. > :42:26.season. And that is the 68th century here. 68 centuries in this year's
:42:27. > :42:32.UK, but that means he will not be able to beat Ian Robertson's hide
:42:33. > :42:35.break now. I think he will have a go, but he will be disappointed to
:42:36. > :43:00.finish where he has. What a shot! He has got to play the blue here. Up
:43:01. > :43:12.and down, it is a natural. That was some shot with the rest. He was
:43:13. > :43:15.almost on top of the red. He was disappointed to get there, but a
:43:16. > :43:39.great recovery. It has been a lovely break.
:43:40. > :43:50.?1000 for the highest break in this year's UK championship. If somebody
:43:51. > :43:57.should make a maximum, it is 5000 on top. Some of the players have had a
:43:58. > :43:58.go in earlier matches. That was not a great shot. At least he is
:43:59. > :44:06.straight on this. Very fluent, just one or two
:44:07. > :44:21.difficulties along the way. That is a lien break, 142, the
:44:22. > :44:32.highest so far of the UK championship.
:44:33. > :44:36.STUDIO: And that 142 is the highest tournament break so far. Neil
:44:37. > :44:43.Robertson made 141 this afternoon, but it is Stephen Maguire top of the
:44:44. > :44:47.pile now. Back to the action, Higgins is at the table. He needs
:44:48. > :44:52.something to stay in this match, but he has been struggling all evening.
:44:53. > :44:59.There is a glimmer of hope for John Higgins to get back to just one
:45:00. > :45:09.behind. It's a tall order, the way the balls are.
:45:10. > :45:20.OK, if he is tight on the cushion, it makes them a little bit easier.
:45:21. > :45:26.He will automatic automatically finish on blue or pink. We have seen
:45:27. > :45:31.so many of these missed. If he could have dropped that in, it would have
:45:32. > :45:35.gone in the pocket. People say these tables are easy, that proves they're
:45:36. > :45:44.not. The amount of people who come up and say, they are playing on
:45:45. > :45:51.buckets these guys, that's rubbish. There. As that last shot proved.
:45:52. > :46:03.It's hard to explain to people how tight these match tables are.
:46:04. > :46:12.38 the difference, with just this red needed.
:46:13. > :46:20.He has pretty much seized the opportunity. The body language tells
:46:21. > :46:22.me that John Higgins will be conceding quite soon. He is deep in
:46:23. > :46:31.thought there. He didn't start that badly, he has
:46:32. > :46:34.gradually got worse. He is at odds with himself, I feel, in his chair
:46:35. > :46:45.there. Something is not right with his game, he knows it.
:46:46. > :46:51.I think we have all been there. We know what it's like being out there
:46:52. > :46:56.and not playing at your best. The standard he has set, 25 ranking
:46:57. > :47:01.titles, it's a very high one. He won't be happy about any of this,
:47:02. > :47:08.the way he is playing here. Yeah. He is coming to the table. Maguire
:47:09. > :47:13.marches on. He is one frame away from a place in the quarter-final.
:47:14. > :47:19.John Higgins pulled one frame back. The man who won this title in 2004,
:47:20. > :47:23.sealed it in the ninth frame. Stephen Maguire looking very good in
:47:24. > :47:30.this tournament. The World Number Five through to the quarter-finals.
:47:31. > :47:38.At two each, you know, anything can happen. John can maybe start potting
:47:39. > :47:43.a few and getting his rhythm going. After the interval I knuckled down
:47:44. > :47:47.and made a couple of good breaks and played well. I'm missing
:47:48. > :47:54.unforgiveable balls, especially I think the fifth frame. I missed the
:47:55. > :47:59.black easier than off its spot. That gave Stephen the kick. After that
:48:00. > :48:02.you think, you say to yourself, it doesn't mat are I leave him
:48:03. > :48:07.anything, he is not going to do anything off it. It gives him lots
:48:08. > :48:12.of confidence. My confidence went down. I played better there than I
:48:13. > :48:17.did in the first three matches. I felt good there. In the end I felt
:48:18. > :48:22.any ball that was there, I fancied potting it. Which is a nice feeling.
:48:23. > :48:26.Just practice tomorrow and keep that feeling for the quarter-final. Is
:48:27. > :48:30.looking good. Plenty for John Higgins to think about then. If you
:48:31. > :48:35.want more snooker, Hazelel is up next with Snooker Extra. We are back
:48:36. > :48:40.later today with more live coverage from the UK Championship at the
