0:00:34 > 0:00:40Hello and good evening. Welcome to highlights of the 2017 UK Snooker
0:00:40 > 0:00:43championship from the York Barbican. Coming up, the best of the action
0:00:43 > 0:00:48from today's third-round matches. We have lost world number one Mark
0:00:48 > 0:00:53Selby and number three Ding Junhui. Code number two Judd Trump survive
0:00:53 > 0:00:55this afternoon against Graeme Dott?
0:00:57 > 0:01:13This is a sort of match Judd Trump will be really up for.Great pot.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17Perfect. Absolutely perfect.
0:01:21 > 0:01:30That's a very good recovery shot. Very impressive from Judd Trump so
0:01:30 > 0:01:40far. Leading Graeme Dott 2-0.This is a massive frame coming up.Foul.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44Don't think he played the cannon on the black. Error. Chancellor Graeme
0:01:44 > 0:01:51Dott. Didn't fill me with much confidence, the way he hit that
0:01:51 > 0:01:57black. Almost missed it. What a shot.
0:02:02 > 0:02:08Brilliant four frames of snooker. Two 90 breaks, 70 and 80. Frames are
0:02:08 > 0:02:11shared, 2-2.
0:02:15 > 0:02:21I just had a feeling with that shot. This will definitely hurt Judd
0:02:21 > 0:02:27Trump. Should be 3-2 in front. And now he is 3-2 behind. What a
0:02:27 > 0:02:30clearance from Graeme Dott.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36Fantastic opening pot.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Another great shot.
0:02:45 > 0:02:55Oh. Judd Trump remains in his chair. Another one visit frame from Graeme
0:02:55 > 0:02:59Dott. 5-2.
0:03:04 > 0:03:11Foul.Wow. That was the ultimate mistake.
0:03:16 > 0:03:21Here comes the handshake. You can see Judd Trump and Graeme Dott, what
0:03:21 > 0:03:26a fantastic result for the Scotsman. Brilliant this afternoon. From two
0:03:26 > 0:03:28down, winning the next six.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36Generally these players don't have many off days so you need to take
0:03:36 > 0:03:42advantage where you can.There were two important frames, one at 2-0. A
0:03:42 > 0:03:47long red to flick the black in. And the frame at 2-2, I threw that away.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51I didn't get many chances after that, missing a couple of easy
0:03:51 > 0:03:59balls. Graeme played well.He has only had a couple of visits in the
0:03:59 > 0:04:05first frames. But something happened in the third frame. I think he split
0:04:05 > 0:04:08the pack and a red went in.Well done
0:04:08 > 0:04:12the pack and a red went in.Well done to Graeme Dott. Judd Trump
0:04:12 > 0:04:16joining defending champion Mark Selby out of this tournament. And
0:04:16 > 0:04:22Ding Junhui. And another big-name crashing out, 2008 runner-up Marco
0:04:22 > 0:04:29Fu beaten 6-4 by Lyu Haotian. He's back tour this season having won the
0:04:29 > 0:04:372017 Asian championship. Fantastic performance from him this afternoon.
0:04:37 > 0:04:43Elsewhere in the all Wales clash, Ryan Day was 4-1 down to Mark
0:04:43 > 0:04:49Williams. Remarkably he won three in a row to bring himself back into it
0:04:49 > 0:04:54and ultimately win 6-5. Ryan Day's fifth career win over his fellow
0:04:54 > 0:05:03Welshman. 2011 champion Judd Trump is out. Graeme Dott reaching the
0:05:03 > 0:05:06semifinals in 2006. He goes through. And LeAnn
0:05:15 > 0:05:21let's turn our attention to Neil Robertson. WK champion, winning in
0:05:21 > 0:05:282013 and 2015. Could he make it third time lucky in 2017? Up against
0:05:28 > 0:05:31England's Mark Joyce, quarterfinalist at the 2010 UK
0:05:31 > 0:05:36championship. A cracking match from the start with Robertson knocking in
0:05:36 > 0:05:42a 128 break in the opening frame. 2-2 at the mid-session interval.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Joyce took the fifth to lead 3-2.
0:05:48 > 0:05:57COMMENTATOR: The black is very difficult. Excellent pot.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13Being left-handed, he might be able to take the yellow here, but it's a
0:06:13 > 0:06:22stretch, even for him. He may end up having to take the green with arrest
0:06:22 > 0:06:28if he can't reach yellow. -- with the rest.
0:06:31 > 0:06:42He's OK. It's just awkward. Robertson is a tall lad, about six
0:06:42 > 0:06:48foot two. Needs to be careful not to foul on the red with his waistcoat.
0:06:48 > 0:06:58That's why he's taken the green with the rest after all. Normally very
0:06:58 > 0:07:07reliable with the rest. That's a very good shot.
0:07:09 > 0:07:15The cue ball just running on a touch. If he's not on this red then
0:07:15 > 0:07:23he is very unfortunate. If he can't quite see it, he should be able to
0:07:23 > 0:07:28bend the cue ball just a touch with left-hand side. Should be OK. Not
0:07:28 > 0:07:36that difficult to swerve if he's snookered. Yeah, having to bend a
0:07:36 > 0:07:45little bit with left-hand side. Not too much of a problem.
0:08:11 > 0:08:18Will be interesting to see if he wants to play the red closest to the
0:08:18 > 0:08:23black spot for the black. Sometimes players are reluctant to play
0:08:23 > 0:08:29colours along the cushion.
0:08:31 > 0:08:37It would make this frame-winning break a lot easier. When you have to
0:08:37 > 0:08:40keep getting the right side of the blue the whole time, it's a tough
0:08:40 > 0:08:43break.
0:08:48 > 0:08:53Might have to take the brown on here. Come round the angles for the
0:08:53 > 0:08:58choice of two reds to the right-hand corner. Unless he wants to leave
0:08:58 > 0:09:04himself something more at distance.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22This is going to require a tremendous amount of cue power.
0:09:22 > 0:09:28That's exactly what he got. Fantastic shot.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43He's got a couple of plants so far this evening. Looking at another one
0:09:43 > 0:09:45here.
0:09:49 > 0:09:54There's a good four inches or so between the two reds. This is
0:09:54 > 0:09:56missable.
0:10:04 > 0:10:12That's worked out very well. Excellent shot.What a confident
0:10:12 > 0:10:18shot. 3-2 down. As you say, Peter, that was very missable. Played it
0:10:18 > 0:10:25very aggressively. Look at what he has left, if he had missed that it
0:10:25 > 0:10:32would have cost in the frame. Not Out of the Woods yet.
0:10:48 > 0:10:53Just potted that green to the left side of the pocket. That's why he
0:10:53 > 0:10:57didn't get enough travel on the cue ball. Still OK.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11Just not been able to get that actual pinpoint position yet in this
0:11:11 > 0:11:23break. Stunned the brown and get straight to the red at the left
0:11:23 > 0:11:28middle, you would think that will be the shot to win the frame. Hard to
0:11:28 > 0:11:32see where it can go wrong from here.
0:13:22 > 0:13:30Just lost the cue ball a little bit there. Still shouldn't be too much
0:13:30 > 0:13:39of a problem for Neil. He certainly would have liked to have been on an
0:13:39 > 0:13:45easy read. -- and easier red.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05With the 40 point lead, he certainly will not be playing for the black
0:14:05 > 0:14:10here.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29Played that nicely.
0:15:28 > 0:15:37Neil Robertson, 54 ahead with 67 on the table. Just a red and colour.
0:15:37 > 0:15:46Neil Robertson will be pretty relieved to be level in the match.
0:15:46 > 0:15:51It's been a good response from him. Because Mark Joyce has definitely
0:15:51 > 0:15:59put him under pressure this evening. The standard before the interval was
0:15:59 > 0:16:05absolutely fantastic. Very difficult to keep maintaining such a high
0:16:05 > 0:16:13standard, though. And as the pressure builds, there's always
0:16:13 > 0:16:19going to be one or two mistakes that creep into a player's game. So this
0:16:19 > 0:16:25is good stuff from Neil here.
0:16:51 > 0:16:58What a fantastic shot that was. To develop the last red. Giving himself
0:16:58 > 0:17:05every chance of making the century break. We know he loves to make
0:17:05 > 0:17:08century breaks, Stephen.
0:17:27 > 0:17:33Yeah, had that magnificent season, over 100 century breaks in one
0:17:33 > 0:17:36season. Phenomenal effort.
0:18:00 > 0:18:05This has been a great response, this frame, the plant in the middle of
0:18:05 > 0:18:11the break was a risky shot to play. Didn't think about it, just played
0:18:11 > 0:18:16aggressively. Opened up the reds, and this has been the result.
0:18:22 > 0:18:27Pink, the second century of the night for Neil Robertson. Fantastic
0:18:27 > 0:18:34break. Not bothered with the black. Happy to level the match. 3-3.
0:18:37 > 0:18:42STUDIO: Both players giving it their all tonight. Sharing the next two
0:18:42 > 0:18:46frames with a break of 84 from Robertson putting him in the lead.
0:18:46 > 0:18:53Joyce firing back with a break of 50 to make it 4-4. We can go to frame
0:18:53 > 0:18:57nine. Mark Joyce with a good lead and at the table.
0:19:00 > 0:19:06COMMENTATOR: That's pretty good. He will be happy with that. The
0:19:06 > 0:19:12priority for Mark Joyce now is not to let Neil Robertson see a pot.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59Neil is concerned about pushing a red over the right-hand black
0:19:59 > 0:20:06pocket. Needs to avoid the double-kiss. Played it well.
0:20:21 > 0:20:31This long red is on. A good test of cueing, this. Well played.
0:21:10 > 0:21:16Starting to look for all the world like it would be 5-4 to Mark Joyce.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20Will we see another of the favourites go out of this year's UK
0:21:20 > 0:21:24championship?
0:21:32 > 0:21:37And all credit to Mark Joyce. Because in the first frame, Neil
0:21:37 > 0:21:48Robertson looked as if he was in top form. Mark Joyce withstood the
0:21:48 > 0:21:52pressure and has played well enough himself to put Neil Robertson under
0:21:52 > 0:21:55pressure.
0:22:01 > 0:22:08This has been a really good performance so far from Mark Joyce.
0:24:30 > 0:24:42Nice pot. Along the cushion. Very confident. Mark Joyce.
0:25:35 > 0:25:43Breaks of 80 and 44 in that frame from Mark Joyce. Takes a 5-4 lead.
0:25:43 > 0:25:48Neil Robertson has it all to do. STUDIO: Stephen Hendrie absolutely
0:25:48 > 0:25:51right, another big-name struggling to stay in the tournament. Robertson
0:25:51 > 0:25:56knocked in a break of 90 to take the tenth frame. We join it in a very
0:25:56 > 0:25:58tight final frame. They have been playing more than 20 minutes
0:25:58 > 0:26:07already. Robertson with a league, but Joyce to play. Come two you
0:26:07 > 0:26:11would be a brave man to take this on. I don't think it's an option.
0:26:11 > 0:26:16But he has the upper hand in this safety exchange, Mark Joyce. He's
0:26:16 > 0:26:21the one who can play the positive shot.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31Very good.
0:27:16 > 0:27:24It was a good shot, but kissing the brown has taken the place out of the
0:27:24 > 0:27:33cue ball. But Neil did very well to get the ball back around the black
0:27:33 > 0:27:42and up to the baulk end.Mark will try to get the cue ball behind the
0:27:42 > 0:27:53yellow and pink. Chance of playing the plant here as well. I feel he
0:27:53 > 0:27:57definitely tried to hit the red thinner than that. This is an
0:27:57 > 0:28:02opportunity now. Has played some very good safety shots in this frame
0:28:02 > 0:28:14so far.It's a shot that Neil Robertson is normally so good at. So
0:28:14 > 0:28:17reliable.
0:28:22 > 0:28:32Great shot.
0:28:32 > 0:28:42Can definitely see at least 24 points. Before he needs to think
0:28:42 > 0:28:53about disturbing any of the four reds on the left side cushion. Don't
0:28:53 > 0:29:01think he will do it often red. Has a lovely angle on the black. Top spin
0:29:01 > 0:29:10to the reds further up the table. Probably pot the black, the open red
0:29:10 > 0:29:13and then leave himself high on the black. They touch of right-hand
0:29:13 > 0:29:18side.
0:29:52 > 0:29:57Did not hit out as well as I think they could have. Still managed to
0:29:57 > 0:30:08generate the power, great shot. He will be delighted with that result.
0:30:08 > 0:30:13Choice of two reds year, 29 point lead.
0:30:30 > 0:30:40Did not expect him to miss that. Needed red, black. I think red blue
0:30:40 > 0:30:48would have left Joyce needing the snooker.
0:31:28 > 0:31:32Try to send the cue ball up somewhere behind the yellow and pink
0:31:32 > 0:31:36to cover the red over the right corner but dangerous leaving the red
0:31:36 > 0:31:39over this left corner.
0:31:43 > 0:31:49If he played right and got the snooker on all reds it could create
0:31:49 > 0:31:53a great opportunity for him but I think it's just too risky.
0:33:28 > 0:33:34Wants to play this red, cushion first. I think you'd have to play in
0:33:34 > 0:33:39such a way to take the cue ball up to the baulk end of the table. I
0:33:39 > 0:33:42think if he wasn't hampered by the red on the side cushion he would
0:33:42 > 0:33:55play that shot. Bridging over that red makes it so much more difficult.
0:33:55 > 0:34:03Got 29 point lead. Very valuable at this stage of this frame. Desperate
0:34:03 > 0:34:13to play this.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43Joyce looking at where he wants to leave the cue ball to leave it safe
0:34:43 > 0:34:51but the red near the blue, it is comfortable to the right middle
0:34:51 > 0:34:57pocket. Every shot now could be his last. But there might be a long time
0:34:57 > 0:35:01waiting for a chance.
0:35:05 > 0:35:18Would hate to lose the deciding frame playing a safety shot.
0:35:29 > 0:35:36Under the circumstances that was excellent, very, very good shot.
0:35:37 > 0:35:48Yeah, worked that out very well.
0:35:49 > 0:35:55Showed good composure there, patients. Risky red to the right
0:35:55 > 0:36:01middle.
0:36:27 > 0:36:39Needless to say, did not want a kiss on the brown.
0:37:10 > 0:37:26Just posted the red and then caused the cue ball to travel a bit faster.
0:37:26 > 0:37:32Could put Neil in a lot of trouble here.
0:37:51 > 0:38:02Must say he has been incredibly unlucky to finish there.I think I
0:38:02 > 0:38:06would play their safety, put the cue ball on the baulk cushion, force him
0:38:06 > 0:38:10to play the one on the cushion.
0:38:24 > 0:38:28A wry smile from Neil Robertson, but cannot see the edge of this red in
0:38:28 > 0:38:35the middle of the table. If the green had stopped half an inch
0:38:35 > 0:38:46earlier he would be snookered on everything.
0:38:50 > 0:39:00Is there a gap between the green and blue? Yes. Slowly creeping back into
0:39:00 > 0:39:05this frame, Mark Joyce.
0:39:27 > 0:39:33Good, solid pot but again concentrating so hard on making sure
0:39:33 > 0:39:50you get the pot possession is not there. The blue goes to the far left
0:39:50 > 0:40:01corner everything needs good cueing at this stage.
0:40:16 > 0:40:21Don't think he has quite got the angle to bring the red interplay
0:40:21 > 0:40:28which is on the cushion. With a bit more straight and he could have
0:40:28 > 0:40:38played that.
0:40:38 > 0:40:51Now we know how tight these pockets are, involves long the cushion.
0:40:57 > 0:41:05That's just about perfect. But he has to go all out for this pot and
0:41:05 > 0:41:08play it dead weight to give it a chance of going in and he's hit it
0:41:08 > 0:41:15perfectly. Otherwise it will stay right over the pocket.I totally
0:41:15 > 0:41:26agree. If he misses it, so be it.
0:41:49 > 0:42:03Well done. Great shot. His heart will be pounding now. Absolutely
0:42:03 > 0:42:14perfect on the black.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19Could do with the green being able to pass the blue to the right
0:42:19 > 0:42:29middle.
0:42:34 > 0:42:38Going to play for the green to the left middle, don't overhit it and
0:42:38 > 0:42:44snooker yourself behind the blue. Neil Robertson sitting in his chair
0:42:44 > 0:42:58will be fearing the worst here. Will they get another chance?
0:43:06 > 0:43:20Can Joyce hold himself together? For a famous victory...
0:43:54 > 0:44:03Brown, blue and pink required. Been behind in this whole frame, Mark
0:44:03 > 0:44:18Joyce. They are fantastic frame to win.
0:44:43 > 0:44:49Straight on the blue has he? Going to have to play a prank from a bit
0:44:49 > 0:44:56of distance. Just how you prefer to play the point, do you prefer to
0:44:56 > 0:45:08leave a bit of angle or leave it straight?
0:45:10 > 0:45:16This is when you rely on the technique, all those hours of
0:45:16 > 0:45:21practice, can you hit this smoothly, as they are still on the shot?
0:45:21 > 0:45:31Deliver the cue straight?
0:45:32 > 0:45:39Shows what it means to Mark Joyce, fantastic victory, another one of
0:45:39 > 0:45:43the favourites falls at this UK championship, well done to Mark
0:45:43 > 0:45:51Joyce, what a performance. It is up there to be honest.
0:45:54 > 0:45:56The way he was playing I was just hanging in
0:45:56 > 0:45:57The way he was playing I was just hanging in there but I did score
0:45:57 > 0:46:02well myself. I missed the boat, I think it was the seventh frame,
0:46:02 > 0:46:06missed a black of the spot and left me a practice routine and I think I
0:46:06 > 0:46:11made one off it. I thought I had blown it and he was going to kick
0:46:11 > 0:46:17on. Obviously I won the next two frames, then you think you will get
0:46:17 > 0:46:21at least one good chance to get over the line and then I butchered the
0:46:21 > 0:46:28red of his break in the tenth frame and he's made another visit and in
0:46:28 > 0:46:35the last, the way the balls were, when I was sort of 25 behind for the
0:46:35 > 0:46:40reds safe I thought I had blown it again to be honest but just managed
0:46:40 > 0:46:45to hold myself together.That is five of the ten best players in the
0:46:45 > 0:46:49world out of this year 's UK championship, incredibly. No
0:46:49 > 0:46:53problems at all for mark Allen, the man from Northern Ireland safely
0:46:53 > 0:46:58through, always on top in his match against Peter Lines. He took a 3-0
0:46:58 > 0:47:07lead before it became 3-2 and despite Peter Lines hanging on in
0:47:07 > 0:47:14their Mark Allen won the final frame to pick his place in the next round.
0:47:17 > 0:47:24I expected it, him coming back at me, 5-2 behind you can most larger
0:47:24 > 0:47:28arm go a little and I was fortunate to be 5-2 in front. It was a strange
0:47:28 > 0:47:32match because I don't felt I played badly but I could not get anything
0:47:32 > 0:47:35going. I scored a lot better in my first couple of matches but I
0:47:35 > 0:47:39thought well and competed well on the safety against Peter who is one
0:47:39 > 0:47:43of the best safety players we have got.Let's bring you up-to-date with
0:47:43 > 0:47:46the other matches from tonight.
0:47:48 > 0:47:53Scott Donaldson who knocked out Mark Selby in the second round was never
0:47:53 > 0:47:58really in this contest against Li who will play Ryan Kay in the next
0:47:58 > 0:48:07round. And the former Masters runner-up Joe Pele is into the final
0:48:07 > 0:48:13round after beating Kurt Maflin, Joe Perry raced into a 4-0 lead and
0:48:13 > 0:48:17never looked back.
