:00:10. > :00:41.Hello. A very good evening to you and welcome to the 2015 Betway UK
:00:42. > :00:45.Snooker Championship. We've had a wonderful day here at the York
:00:46. > :00:48.Barbican and the entertainment is continuing into the night. We are
:00:49. > :00:53.going live shortly because Mark Selby is being pushed all the way in
:00:54. > :00:57.his match with Wales's Jamie Jones. It has been tense all evening. Let's
:00:58. > :01:02.bring you right up to date. Here is what happened in Frame 8. 4-3 to
:01:03. > :01:04.Jones, Selby trailing by 14 points and has snookered the
:01:05. > :01:13.Jones, Selby trailing by 14 points and has snookered the Welshman.
:01:14. > :01:24.He should be OK. Off the top cushion. No! Foul. Oh, my goodness.
:01:25. > :01:27.Can you believe what can happen on a snooker table, Steve. Just
:01:28. > :01:32.ridiculous. He didn't really connect with the pink anywhere near as he
:01:33. > :01:38.wanted. That was a bit of a misjudgment, but even so - wow! Can
:01:39. > :01:51.he get out of jail here? Can he knock this pink in? What a time to
:01:52. > :01:54.start potting the long balls? You couldn't write the script. You
:01:55. > :02:04.really couldn't write the script. APPLAUSE
:02:05. > :02:10.Amazing what can happen on a 12-6 snooker table. You are right, Jamie
:02:11. > :02:15.Jones should be hitting that four ball, shouldn't he? Yep. Well, he's
:02:16. > :02:26.got to be kicking himself, I know that. That is a frame that
:02:27. > :02:31.nightmares are made of. Should he go onto lose this match, He is
:02:32. > :02:35.favourite well... To lose it now. He was huge odds onto win it from 5-3
:02:36. > :02:41.in front. He's gone second favourite again now.
:02:42. > :02:55.APPLAUSE That is what is called stickability.
:02:56. > :02:59.Mark Selby again levels at 4-all. Then Jamie Jones roared back with a
:03:00. > :03:03.cracking break to take the next frame and the big question tonight,
:03:04. > :03:07.we have to ask your commentary team Steve Davis, what he thought thought
:03:08. > :03:11.is the 2012 champion Mark Selby going out? Let's go live to the
:03:12. > :03:16.Barbican Centre and join the boys. Dramatic stuff, boys? I couldn't
:03:17. > :03:20.agree with you more, Jason. Good evening to the late-night viewers
:03:21. > :03:25.who have joined us at a critical stage. He got in with a great
:03:26. > :03:30.opening red and he is on a break of 18 and counting. He was expecting to
:03:31. > :03:33.kiss one of the two Reds on the side to cushion on the black and he
:03:34. > :03:38.hasn't done so now only a safety shot available. Steve, to put it in
:03:39. > :03:41.a nutshell, Mark Selby has not been in the race, has he? He hasn't
:03:42. > :03:47.really looked like the Hoover that we know he can be. He's quickly got
:03:48. > :03:52.into a frame and looks like he looks pretty decent amongst the balls and
:03:53. > :03:56.inexplicably missed very easy shots. He doesn't seem to have the wait of
:03:57. > :04:01.the table right. His tactics have been superb. His safety and grafting
:04:02. > :04:04.has been great, but he's not flowed and Jamie Jones has looked the
:04:05. > :04:07.stronger of the long putters. That was a big point there. The highest
:04:08. > :04:14.break caption we saw there. Mark Selby's high yst break in the whole
:04:15. > :04:18.match. When you consider we are in frame 10 it has only been 54. That
:04:19. > :04:24.is the long time since you have seen Mark Selby play that. But as we all
:04:25. > :04:29.know he just graphs and graphs. He doesn't give up. Now you can see his
:04:30. > :04:35.determinion is back in his face again. He's a little bit angry with
:04:36. > :04:44.himself. There has been some balls missed. Mark Selby missed two or
:04:45. > :04:50.three of the easiest balls I have ever seen. We might get a chance to
:04:51. > :04:52.show you one in a few moment's time. A big shot Jamie Jones is lining up
:04:53. > :05:12.here. A massive shot. Where is the red going? Right over
:05:13. > :05:15.the pocket. While Mark Selby is playing this shot, he ended up
:05:16. > :05:20.winning the frame. Just look at this shot that Mark Selby has won. Can
:05:21. > :05:24.you believe this? He needs the clearance to win and he's missed
:05:25. > :05:29.that brown. In the last 10 years of Mark Selby playing, would you ever
:05:30. > :05:34.have seen him miss a shot like that? You can see the amazement on Jamie
:05:35. > :05:39.Jones face there. And then Jamie Jones missed the next shot. It was a
:05:40. > :05:44.comedy of errors and it has been the case, and you said it earlier in the
:05:45. > :05:49.match, in a normal situation, in a normal Mark Selby, the one that we
:05:50. > :05:53.have come to know and respect, a situation like the h would be a
:05:54. > :05:55.frame-winning situation, but he just hasn't looked that confident amongst
:05:56. > :06:23.the balls. He's just got to make sure he is
:06:24. > :06:27.across the table far enough to make the black gettable. He hasn't judged
:06:28. > :06:31.the pace at all. He is still playing what he considers to be pin-point
:06:32. > :06:36.position when he is not playing as well as that to get that pin-point
:06:37. > :06:41.position at the moment. Once again, you would have thought the black
:06:42. > :06:45.would have been potable with the rest but maybe hampering cueing is
:06:46. > :06:49.stopping him playing it. No attempt at the pot there, of course. He is
:06:50. > :07:19.just trying to get a good white. Mark Selby, 1.
:07:20. > :07:29.Who r loses this match this evening will be -- whoever loses this match
:07:30. > :07:32.this evening will be in a pretty bad place mentally, confidence-wise -
:07:33. > :07:38.they both have thrown away great chances. Jamie Jones arguably could
:07:39. > :07:43.have clinched this match already. Should Mark Selby lose it, well,
:07:44. > :07:49.that is a low point in this season for him. Yes. Those who have not
:07:50. > :07:54.been with us throughout the evening session, I mean Jamie Jones led
:07:55. > :08:00.2-nil and was playing flawless snooker. He should definitely have
:08:01. > :08:04.won frame 3 and 4 but it was too easy at the interval and that set
:08:05. > :08:10.the pattern. Selby has been playing catch-up
:08:11. > :08:18.That is more like it. A very confident putt.
:08:19. > :08:24.This is a big test now for Jamie Jones. He's got an excellent chance
:08:25. > :08:32.here of knocking out the world No. 1 Mark Selby. Pink, black, blue all in
:08:33. > :08:37.play. Has he overhit it? A big bounce off the cushion. It is OK. It
:08:38. > :08:42.might have helped him. I don't think that is the ball that - I think he
:08:43. > :08:46.was play fogger the one in the right corner. -- playing for the one in
:08:47. > :08:55.the right corner. It is getting late. Perhaps the cushion cover is a
:08:56. > :09:03.bit wrapped up. That is a nice shot. 7. A bit unlucky that second red has
:09:04. > :09:09.gone in, really. Very clever shot, wasn't it? He had to play at that
:09:10. > :09:13.pacey to get the cue to come back for the pink because he was hitting
:09:14. > :09:14.two Reds. Well, it could be a frame-winning shot. A match-winning
:09:15. > :09:19.shot. LAUGHS
:09:20. > :09:28.If it was the first frame of the evening you would say that Jamie
:09:29. > :09:32.Jones is going to win the frame, but obviously now it is frame and
:09:33. > :09:36.match-winning chance, there is a bit more tension in the arm. He looked
:09:37. > :09:40.good amongst the balls. He looked better than Mark Selby. He made a
:09:41. > :09:44.good break in the last frame albeit - oh, No, a kick. Oh, no. He just
:09:45. > :10:07.about potted it. Absolutely dried the pace on the cue
:10:08. > :10:12.ball. -- destroyed the pace on the cue ball. We've had some twists and
:10:13. > :10:19.turns in this game. We really have. Yellow ball. Going back, we were
:10:20. > :10:25.starting to talk about when Jones led 2-nil but should have led 4-nil
:10:26. > :10:33.really. Mark Selby has only had breaks of 54, 37, 40, 38 and 33. Cue
:10:34. > :10:36.ball. Just trying to link through for the black. Look at the reaction
:10:37. > :11:06.from Jamie Jones. A massive kick. Another chance for Jamie Jones. Can
:11:07. > :11:09.he do it again? Striking those as crispy as anything.
:11:10. > :11:14.APPLAUSE He needs an angle on the brun, which
:11:15. > :11:23.he's got. Now, surely, this time he can convert the frame. A fabulous
:11:24. > :11:27.putt, this. He's got three reds he can play. Just have to screw up on
:11:28. > :11:31.the middle pocket. Just on the righthand side, three reds
:11:32. > :11:34.available. He won't get a better chance than this to knock out the
:11:35. > :12:03.world No. 1. 5. 6. Perhaps lost a bit of control on
:12:04. > :12:04.the cue ball. Just a little bit. He would have preferred to have played
:12:05. > :12:18.the pink. 11. He should go this into the
:12:19. > :12:55.middle, but it is missable. Very nice. He's going to need that
:12:56. > :13:06.difficult red behind the pink, so there is hope for Mark Selby. That
:13:07. > :13:12.was a bad contact as well somehow. Wanted to be straight so he could
:13:13. > :13:16.rescue back for the black again. He played that as a stunt shot but it
:13:17. > :13:30.ran through. Didn't look like he hit it badly.
:13:31. > :13:51.This is a little bit more tricky than expected. A good recovery. 20.
:13:52. > :14:01.Of course, if he doesn't fancy trying to get on the red, to clear
:14:02. > :14:13.the balls or get over the line, he can always play a very easy snooker.
:14:14. > :14:17.That would be not as preferable as knocking the red in, Just shows you
:14:18. > :14:21.but... What can happen under pressure. He is looking at the
:14:22. > :14:24.scoreboards and can't work out the scores. That is what pressure does
:14:25. > :14:35.to you. He needs an angle on this black. Oh, yep. So, question: What
:14:36. > :14:41.do you want to do? Try and break out the red? You would do normally.
:14:42. > :14:49.Killer safety. Playing killer snooker. I mean, that was really
:14:50. > :15:06.poor work leaving him hampered like this, but the pressure is on. Good
:15:07. > :15:11.shot. 28 in front. Mark Selby is going to be in all sorts of trouble.
:15:12. > :15:16.He's going to need to get out of this safety shot and get out of this
:15:17. > :15:19.snooker. Not only get out of it, but keep the red safe. 33.
:15:20. > :15:28.APPLAUSE And also, if he misses it, he will
:15:29. > :15:31.be 36 behind the 35 on. So it is really - this is last-chance saloon
:15:32. > :15:35.for Mark Selby. Hit it, get it, otherwise you are out. Off the top
:15:36. > :15:40.cushion. Maybe preferable to the side cushion here. Off the top
:15:41. > :15:49.cushion if he does connect with it, he could get it safe. He will have
:15:50. > :15:56.two goes at it. He has one free go if he misses and gets away with it.
:15:57. > :15:56.That is a great shot. He's got it safe.
:15:57. > :16:10.APPLAUSE Trusted to luck, obviously. Are we
:16:11. > :16:10.going to see one more twist in this match?
:16:11. > :16:22.LAUGHS . This has been such a topsy turvy
:16:23. > :16:26.match. The yellows in Jamie Jones favour, not being in an easily
:16:27. > :16:31.potable position. All Jamie Jones needs to do is get this red off the
:16:32. > :16:39.table. He must have been sitting in his chair when he got him snookered
:16:40. > :16:45.there and thought, even if he pots it I will get a shot on the red. He
:16:46. > :16:49.is not even in a position to play a good safety shot. If he tries to get
:16:50. > :16:53.the key board in behind the black he will have to play it pacey and then
:16:54. > :16:57.the red comes into play. He is playing a little negative one here.
:16:58. > :17:00.If he doesn't get the snooker, he will snooker himself, but he's
:17:01. > :17:02.played it nicely. Can he just flick the edge of this? I am not sure. No.
:17:03. > :17:14.Doesn't look like it. He can play a little swerve and push
:17:15. > :17:19.the red onto the left-side cushion, but he loses all of the advantage
:17:20. > :17:24.and I don't see what else he can do, coming off two cushions - he might
:17:25. > :17:28.be able to push the red up the table. So you think two cushions
:17:29. > :17:33.hard? Yeah, but the white ball could go up the table as well. That is
:17:34. > :17:40.what I was thinking and the red could kiss into the groan or the
:17:41. > :17:46.brown. I think the - push it into the side cushion. Cut your losses
:17:47. > :17:56.really on this one. If he hits this too hard the white is likely
:17:57. > :18:06.That was a good idea. Well, it probably is cuttable, but Jamie
:18:07. > :18:12.Jones has got to Jack himself up over the brown. Oh, my goodness.
:18:13. > :18:16.That makes a shot - I don't know - five times more difficult. He can't
:18:17. > :18:25.play the putt now being hampered like this. Playing safe. No, no
:18:26. > :18:30.attempt at the pot there. Needs to get behind the black. Just see
:18:31. > :18:36.enough of this from Mark Selby, but it would be very hard for him to get
:18:37. > :18:40.a snooker. I don't think the angles are there. Ultra-thin, you could get
:18:41. > :18:50.it behind the black, but he's also going to push the red towards the
:18:51. > :18:52.yellow pocket. That was a better choice, just getting the object to
:18:53. > :18:56.safety. Excellent shot. APPLAUSE
:18:57. > :19:06.He's given himself another chance now, Selby. He really has. Yes.
:19:07. > :19:11.Jamie Jones might be forced to play off the side cushion with rescue and
:19:12. > :19:15.try and get a full-ball contact. If he can just flick enough of it,
:19:16. > :19:21.perhaps he can work a path back. He might get the double kiss. He might
:19:22. > :19:28.get the double kiss, he's played it well, though. He's played it very
:19:29. > :19:29.well. Well done. APPLAUSE That wasn't absolutely certain that
:19:30. > :19:45.he could do that. Mark Selby has been pulling out
:19:46. > :19:53.Robert the Bruce-like proportions tonight to just stick at it, even
:19:54. > :19:58.though things have not been going right, going but... It is advantage
:19:59. > :20:06.Jamie Jones for certain in this frame. Also pink a little bit out of
:20:07. > :20:24.commission as well. As well as that yellow.
:20:25. > :20:37.He needs to find the cushion. If it bounces, he may decide to cut this
:20:38. > :20:40.in. An excellent shot by Mark Selby. It is a brave cut, but he only needs
:20:41. > :20:55.one ball. Would you believe it? Oh, my
:20:56. > :21:01.goodness. What pressure can do to you in this game is unbelievable.
:21:02. > :21:11.Well, he hasn't necessarily lost this frame. One good positional shot
:21:12. > :21:17.by Mark Selby could alleviate the difficulty here and this surely to
:21:18. > :21:24.try and drop on the side cushion and give himself options Four pockets.
:21:25. > :21:35.Of... ..Yeah, ideally into the middle pocket or... Mmm, that is not
:21:36. > :21:39.good. He decelerated it there. He is really under it, Mark Selby at the
:21:40. > :21:43.minute. Why wouldn't he have played the drop-on into the middle. Yeah.
:21:44. > :21:48.If he underhits it, he is into the green pocket. If he hits it perfect
:21:49. > :21:55.he is into the middle. Overhits it, he is into the black pocket. Quite a
:21:56. > :22:00.big margin but the way this is, it is a very Hardwick shot. He's got to
:22:01. > :22:05.hold for the green, which I don't think is a problem, but he can't hit
:22:06. > :22:09.it too hard. He's hit a lot of pressure balls in his career. That
:22:10. > :22:18.is another one! That is another one! APPLAUSE
:22:19. > :22:24.Amazing. Jamie Jones! The agonies he is going through
:22:25. > :22:33.tonight. Can Mark Selby pile on the pressure by getting from blue to
:22:34. > :22:34.pink successfully? We expect him to drop this groan in and get
:22:35. > :22:47.successfully on the brown. Doesn't have a great handle on the
:22:48. > :22:52.brown, but he needs to leave the blue virtually half ball so he can
:22:53. > :22:56.just drop him behind the pink. His angle is not good so he has to swing
:22:57. > :22:58.it around two cushions. Very easy the finish short or long on this
:22:59. > :23:13.shot. 17. Well, one more very difficult
:23:14. > :23:15.pot on the pipping -- pink coming up in a moment. We couldn't really ask
:23:16. > :23:33.for anything much better than that. He doesn't really want to get onto
:23:34. > :23:38.the pink, so he has to risk playing it slow into the corner, doesn't he?
:23:39. > :23:42.He needs to get right behind it if he can. Anywhere but there. 22.
:23:43. > :23:58.No-man's land. Well, if you risk playing the slow
:23:59. > :24:00.pink and trying to cover it with the black, it is very dangerous to play
:24:01. > :24:14.it that way. He's taking it on. What a great shot. A fantastic shot.
:24:15. > :24:28.APPLAUSE How on earth has Mark Selby got to
:24:29. > :24:31.5-5. ? But that is it! He is still in there.
:24:32. > :24:38.APPLAUSE The decider live on BBC, 5-5. Well,
:24:39. > :24:44.Steve, honestly, I just can't believe what has happened in this
:24:45. > :24:50.match. I mean, Selby has just been grafting and grafting and highest
:24:51. > :24:53.break - 54 and it is 5-all. Jones Jennifer Aniston, I suppose, did the
:24:54. > :24:58.right thing by playing that snoker. He just got out of it -- snooker. He
:24:59. > :25:01.just got out of it. Mark Selby's escape was perfect and then Jamie
:25:02. > :25:06.Jones was sort of on the back foot again. He couldn't get over the line
:25:07. > :25:10.and the thin cut. That was it. He would have been better off playing
:25:11. > :25:15.it thicker. He got so excited. It was a chance to win frame and match,
:25:16. > :25:19.but that one shot on the red. This is the cut now. People at home might
:25:20. > :25:22.be suggesting why hasn't he pushed the red and played it full ball
:25:23. > :25:26.behind the black and played it at the other end. This is frame and
:25:27. > :25:31.match ball so he is entitled to play it, but because of the nerves he put
:25:32. > :25:35.too much side on it and cut it too thin. You never know what will
:25:36. > :25:40.happen, do you? What will happen in this last frame. Probably go and
:25:41. > :25:43.make it 1-6-7 or something. He potted the red and didn't get right
:25:44. > :25:46.on the yellow potting the black and didn't get right on the pink. The
:25:47. > :25:50.pink and yellow, the way he's been playing this evening he wouldn't
:25:51. > :25:58.have been looking forward to playing those two shots. Heroic effort, it
:25:59. > :26:00.has got to be said. It is not necessarily all about what your best
:26:01. > :26:02.is. APPLAUSE
:26:03. > :26:11.It is how many matches you can pull out of the fire. 11th and final
:26:12. > :26:15.frame. Jamie Jones to break. Probably his best performance,
:26:16. > :26:19.really, to win. Here we go, final frame, we never thought it would be
:26:20. > :26:29.that an hour ago. Jamie Jones breaks off. After just over four hours of
:26:30. > :26:32.play. It is not a bad breaker. Can he get through to the red? If he can
:26:33. > :27:11.get through to the red, it cuts. If Markit feels he can't get through
:27:12. > :27:16.to the red, then it is not a safety shot. Maybe if he swerves. It helps
:27:17. > :27:22.because it helps the cue ball get back to the ball and obviously he
:27:23. > :27:28.will be trying to pot the red. That is the first time that Mark Selby
:27:29. > :27:33.has been ahead in this match, albeit only by one point. 1. A marvellous
:27:34. > :27:40.shot there. A power swerve to make the potting angle.
:27:41. > :27:52.Can he open the reds up with this? Perhaps he chose a more controlled
:27:53. > :27:58.shot. There are reds available. I thought for a moment he was going to
:27:59. > :28:09.go into them, but... In the last frame he got in very
:28:10. > :28:15.early and it looked like he was going to move through the gears and
:28:16. > :28:17.he inexplicably lost an easy ball, but once again he is first in. What
:28:18. > :28:30.can he do? Still 54 is his highest break and if
:28:31. > :28:34.you can going to win a ball at one visit you need more than 54 so Jamie
:28:35. > :28:37.Jones will still be thinking he is going to get another chance in this
:28:38. > :28:48.match. After the nitty-gritty when it gets
:28:49. > :28:52.to the final frame, they sometimes find plenty. The way he has played,
:28:53. > :28:58.I will be surprised if he wins the game at one visit, but he is such a
:28:59. > :29:04.great champion that he might just do that.
:29:05. > :29:14.11. What is available at this end of the table? The red to the right of
:29:15. > :29:20.the black there is a pack of two to get onto that red.
:29:21. > :29:27.You see, normally, if you are playing great, you just roll this in
:29:28. > :29:29.and get on that gap, but he is independent hitting the ball that
:29:30. > :29:34.well, so he may decide an alternative shot to that one. He has
:29:35. > :29:43.player for the loose red. I don't know if he is on it for that pace.
:29:44. > :29:49.He's just on it. 16. He is on it, but he may not be. He is just on it.
:29:50. > :29:57.Perhaps he can hold for the black. He's got to play it slow. Should he
:29:58. > :30:01.have wanted to be on the black. He didn't want to collide with that
:30:02. > :30:09.red. This is a monster black to take on. Massively missable. Once again,
:30:10. > :30:15.though, Steve, have you ever seen Selby play a canon like that when
:30:16. > :30:27.he's got oceans of room to get on the blue ball colour. He got into
:30:28. > :30:31.the cue ball a bit too much. Now, in normal circumstances, even if it is
:30:32. > :30:36.5-5 he would be taking the black on, but I am not sure his confidence is
:30:37. > :30:43.good enough to play the black now. Wow, he is looking at the snooker,
:30:44. > :30:47.the safety. On another day, he would knock the yellow in, I think.
:30:48. > :30:56.Although the red is in the way on the cushion for that, so - well.
:30:57. > :31:06.17. Mark Selby. The most important thing - there is no one right way to
:31:07. > :31:10.play any given shot and it is how you feel. If you don't feel
:31:11. > :31:13.comfortable, then don't do it. He's not been comfortable all night,
:31:14. > :31:18.Steve, has he? On another day he would have knocked the yellow and
:31:19. > :31:19.the black in, but he's trying to get over the line. Somehow. Somehow.
:31:20. > :31:28.LAUGHS . The silly thing is if he wins in
:31:29. > :31:31.match he may go on and win the tournament and play some of the best
:31:32. > :31:47.snooker he's ever played. Every day is a different day.
:31:48. > :31:55.A very good safety shot there from Jamie Jones. Might have looked like
:31:56. > :32:03.an attempted pot, but it was never that.
:32:04. > :32:09.There is a few nice positions in the baulk area to try and hide behind.
:32:10. > :32:20.Brown and green are looking tempting. Not great. It is very
:32:21. > :32:25.unlike Selby, isn't it? His safety has been poor as well tonight. Not
:32:26. > :32:31.to find the top cushion there. He's giving Jamie Jones the upper hand in
:32:32. > :32:33.the safety exchange. Behind the yellow tight to the rail could pay
:32:34. > :32:52.dividends. Not bad. There is a red that has
:32:53. > :32:59.poked its Well, now where all of the reds are, this is a big shot to take
:33:00. > :33:04.on. I think he's got the take it on. There is a slight chance -- He is
:33:05. > :33:07.playing the safety. Wow! It is not as easy as it locks.
:33:08. > :33:15.APPLAUSE Fantastic shot. There is me talking
:33:16. > :33:20.more aggressively than I have ever played and Markit is playing the
:33:21. > :33:26.right shot at the -- Markis playing the right shot at the right time. If
:33:27. > :33:33.he has to de-20 at a time, he is normally great. It doesn't matter.
:33:34. > :33:36.Even though he hasn't got the cue ball, down on the ball cushion, it
:33:37. > :33:44.is a little bit of a problem for Jamie Jones. Looks like the only
:33:45. > :33:52.shot he's got is a thin one down the left-hand side. He hasn't got that
:33:53. > :33:58.much room for manoeuvre here. Very nice. Where is the red? Now where is
:33:59. > :34:02.the white? Can he get it behind the yellow?
:34:03. > :34:18.Looks a good shot. A great shot. Mark...oh, my goodness. Oh, dear!
:34:19. > :34:26.Oh, dear! We both "oh deared" at the same time. Once again, I think he
:34:27. > :34:32.will have to play a swerve. Let's look down the line to see if he can
:34:33. > :34:35.play a swvr here. Maybe not. I don't think he's got
:34:36. > :34:39.play a swvr here. Maybe not. I don't not. I don't think he's got enough
:34:40. > :34:43.of that. The side won't take. What he could do is overswerve to try and
:34:44. > :34:48.play cushion first and he doesn't mind if it goes in off. As long as
:34:49. > :34:53.he hit the red. As long as you hit the red, yes. It is not the swerve
:34:54. > :35:00.to try to pot the red. That is dangerous. Overswerve cushion first,
:35:01. > :35:03.inside of the red, in off and take your chances. Or can he work out
:35:04. > :35:18.some other type of shot? He's looking for some inspiration of
:35:19. > :35:21.what we can think of. We have thought of a few things, albeit not
:35:22. > :35:28.necessarily right. We don't know what to do either -- Mark? I like
:35:29. > :35:32.the overswerve. As long as you hit the red. You have got to move the
:35:33. > :35:44.red away from the pocket. Well, not bad. He may have made it hard for
:35:45. > :35:48.Jamie Jones to get on the colour. Yeah, I agree. Lucky the red is not
:35:49. > :35:58.the problem, but where does the white come? Kissing the red. I
:35:59. > :36:03.wouldn't like this in the middle pocket. Is he going for it? Wow.
:36:04. > :36:08.What a big shot this is. What a big shot!
:36:09. > :36:23.What a great shot. Very well played. APPLAUSE
:36:24. > :36:30.This subpoena an excellent - with what has happened to Jamie Jones
:36:31. > :36:35.this evening -- this is an excellent - with what has happened to Jamie
:36:36. > :36:39.Jones this evening, the play a shot like that in the final frame, you
:36:40. > :36:41.have to take your hat off to him. That was brilliant. This is a bit
:36:42. > :37:04.awkward. APPLAUSE
:37:05. > :37:09.If he can get his cue through the gap, he's got a shot at the red, but
:37:10. > :37:34.I just don't think he is able to get on a colour.
:37:35. > :37:40.That gap you are talking about is there. He has to be careful with the
:37:41. > :37:49.pink. Careful with the follow-threw that he doesn't touch a reds. --
:37:50. > :37:55.follow-threw that he doesn't touch a red. It was off-putting. Those two
:37:56. > :38:03.reds hadn't been there, he no doubt would have potted that. Jamie Jones.
:38:04. > :38:23.That was hard. Harder than it looked, I think.
:38:24. > :38:37.Mark Selby eyeing up the red in the middle. A bit of sped. I think he is
:38:38. > :38:42.eyeing that up, anyway. He is worried about just in case he hits
:38:43. > :38:47.it too hard. If he plays for the pink in the middle, he won't have to
:38:48. > :38:54.hit it too hard. Excellent. APPLAUSE
:38:55. > :39:10.This is the first sight he's had of winning the match.
:39:11. > :39:18.Jamie Jones has failed to get over the winning line on a few occasions
:39:19. > :39:20.in this match, individual frames. Can Mark Selby do it at the most
:39:21. > :39:48.important part? 8. I don't blame him at all going for
:39:49. > :39:53.blue or even the green at this stage just to keep his hand on the table,
:39:54. > :39:58.just to get further and further clear at the moment. He is 25 points
:39:59. > :40:01.and counting. 16. Like I say, under normal circumstances you would say
:40:02. > :40:13.it is a certainty, but not this evening.
:40:14. > :40:21.Jamie's face is getting a bit redder there. He is getting frustrated
:40:22. > :40:29.about what might have been and what certainly should have been. This is
:40:30. > :40:44.one maybe, Jamie, that has definitely got away.
:40:45. > :40:49.36 points in front. 27. Three more reds, three more colours. Should be
:40:50. > :41:41.enough. Has he got the end on the pink to
:41:42. > :41:51.flick the other two reds into play? He has.
:41:52. > :41:58.This play up for the blue now or even the pink to get it into the
:41:59. > :42:09.same pocket. The same pocket he's just potted it in. 35.
:42:10. > :42:19.Trying to make this break as easy as possible.
:42:20. > :42:25.Blue and pink are sometimes nice balls to knock in when you are under
:42:26. > :42:56.a bit of pressure or open pocket. That looks like it. A great
:42:57. > :43:01.positional shot. It is all over. APPLAUSE
:43:02. > :43:06.43 points in front with 51 on. Jamie Jones, with this red goes in, will
:43:07. > :43:12.know that he is out of the tournament and, boy, should he have
:43:13. > :43:20.won it! 45. It won't be the best Christmas you have ever had, Jamie,
:43:21. > :43:24.having seen this match slip away. Selby looks like making the highest
:43:25. > :43:34.break of the match for him in this final frame. 53. How on earth has
:43:35. > :43:40.Mark Selby won this match? I have watched every ball go in and I don't
:43:41. > :43:57.know how he has won. Incedsible. -- incredible.
:43:58. > :44:07.I've just had a text from his wife, Vickie, to say "thank God". That's
:44:08. > :44:24.right, he's pulled it from somewhere today. He really has. Incredible.
:44:25. > :44:30.You have got the feel so sorry for Jamie. That is what experience does
:44:31. > :44:37.for you. He had the match completely won on five or six occasions, but
:44:38. > :44:41.that is it. I am sure he can't believe he's done it, but he's come
:44:42. > :44:45.back on five occasions and the only time he's been in front of the match
:44:46. > :44:50.is just then. Mark Selby goes through, six frames to five. Well,
:44:51. > :44:55.Steve, it is a match that honestly I don't know how he has won. I really
:44:56. > :45:00.don't. Nor do I. I have never seen him so ill at ease around the table.
:45:01. > :45:03.I have never seen him so uncomfortable. He shook his head
:45:04. > :45:08.towards the even and felt like it wasn't his day. He stuck at it. From
:45:09. > :45:12.my perspective, it wasn't even his B game he played there, but his C
:45:13. > :45:17.game. It was good tactically, still sound. You have got to say, "Well
:45:18. > :45:22.done, Mark Selby", I think Jamie Jones had the best of it. If you
:45:23. > :45:25.look at the stats, I don't know if they tell a story or not. They
:45:26. > :45:29.sevened themselves out a bit. Earlier in the The ball has match...
:45:30. > :45:35.Plotted. It is amazing. Jamie Jones has done everything. He outscored
:45:36. > :45:40.him on points and balls potted. The key thing, early on the long pot
:45:41. > :45:44.success he was miles behind and all the rest of it. Towards the end of
:45:45. > :45:49.the game when Jamie Jones saw the winning post he started to miss a
:45:50. > :45:53.few. And his positional play wasn't as strong and in the last frame he
:45:54. > :45:57.had the black at his mercy and he got himself tied up at the top end
:45:58. > :46:01.of the table. Perhaps he could have played a slightly less critical
:46:02. > :46:02.shot, but that is the way it is. Absolutely. Back to the studio now.
:46:03. > :46:04.I am sure Mark Selby will be a played a slightly less critical
:46:05. > :46:05.shot, but that is the way it is. Absolutely. Back to the studio now.
:46:06. > :46:05.I am sure Mark Selby will be a very relieved
:46:06. > :46:05.shot, but that is the way it is. Absolutely.
:46:06. > :46:08.I am sure Mark Selby will be a very relieved man. Well played, boys.
:46:09. > :46:12.Mark Selby is here. I remember doing a late interview on what should be a
:46:13. > :46:16.highlights programme a couple of years ago and at one stage this
:46:17. > :46:21.evening we thought you were out of it. Did you think you were out of
:46:22. > :46:24.it? The way I played there was pretty pathetic. Jamie played a lot
:46:25. > :46:29.better than me. He scored well when he got the chances and to be fair,
:46:30. > :46:32.deserved to win the match. If probably deserved to win 6-2, 6-3. I
:46:33. > :46:38.was very, very pr. Happy to get over the line. What was it? Was it
:46:39. > :46:43.because Jamie play sodwell or you game? Why you couldn't get in front?
:46:44. > :46:47.A little bit of both. Jamie was scoring when he got a chance and
:46:48. > :46:51.that was putting me under pressure. I kept blowing the chances and Jamie
:46:52. > :46:56.kept picking up the pieces. Did you fear for your UK championship at one
:46:57. > :47:01.stage throughout this evening? Yeah, I mean Jamie made a good break. I
:47:02. > :47:06.knit the frame 4-all when I had no right to win the frame. I thought he
:47:07. > :47:10.might wilter a bit and he made a great frame to go in front and I
:47:11. > :47:14.thought it showed the character of him. He didn't let his head go down.
:47:15. > :47:18.Just my usual self, dug in and turned it around. I am sure, Mark,
:47:19. > :47:22.you will analyse it, but do you think frame 8 when you had that
:47:23. > :47:25.snacker, is that what hauled you back into the match? Possibly. Like
:47:26. > :47:30.I said, Jamie should have definitely won that. He had a couple of chances
:47:31. > :47:35.at the pink to put that away but I mained to knit that frame, but he
:47:36. > :47:39.made a great next frame to go 5-4 in front. I don't know what to say,
:47:40. > :47:42.happy to get over the line. The fact that you have lost to Jamie in
:47:43. > :47:47.Australia, 5-1. Does that play on the mind knowing you have lost to
:47:48. > :47:49.someone lick Jamie and you are in this position? Not really. Every
:47:50. > :47:52.game is different. Everyone going out there knows you are playing
:47:53. > :47:55.against top-class players and Jamie is one of them. He proved that
:47:56. > :47:59.getting into the quarter finals at the World Championships and when he
:48:00. > :48:03.bet me at the Australian he got to the semifinal and was only one frame
:48:04. > :48:06.away from getting to the final. Well done. You are through. That is the
:48:07. > :48:07.main thing. Good man. Have a good kip now. Thank you very much. Mark
:48:08. > :48:08.Selby leaves us. Let's bring done. You are through. That is the
:48:09. > :48:09.main kip now. Thank you very much. Mark
:48:10. > :48:16.Selby leaves us. Let's bring you up-to-date with what happened today.
:48:17. > :48:29.Jamie Burnett beat Li Hang. Matt Selt bet Robbie Williams. Jack

:48:41. > :48:44.through to the next round. That is it for us for this evening but
