We start tonight with eight match

tables at the Barbican Centre in

0:00:340:00:37

York. Are now down to two in this

the first of three major events of

0:00:370:00:42

the season. We are getting rid of

the top seeded players than we are

0:00:420:00:47

quicker than tables, though. Only

four of the world's top 16 players

0:00:470:00:50

had maded it through to this

fourth-round stage in this Betway UK

0:00:500:00:56

Championship. The lowest number of

big names at this point ever in the

0:00:560:01:00

40 year history of this great event.

Only Ronnie O'Sullivan, Shaun

0:01:000:01:06

Murphy, Mark Allen and John Higgins

won their three matches to date. One

0:01:060:01:09

of them was in big trouble this

afternoon. The world number five,

0:01:090:01:15

John Higgins, up against it against

the Romford cue man, Mark King.

0:01:150:01:24

John Higgins, up against it against

the Romford cue man, Mark King. Just

0:01:240:01:25

like that.

0:01:250:01:28

What a shot. Great shot. Fantastic.

0:01:310:01:35

Wow! It's Mark King who takes it.

One frame all. Didn't spot the

0:01:370:01:50

plant.

0:01:500:01:50

Once again, another chance for Mark.

Good pot. How's his cue ball? Very

0:01:540:02:04

good. Should win the frame from

here.

0:02:040:02:09

That's nighly controlled from John.

What a lovely shot. Wow, what a pot

0:02:120:02:20

that was. Black, for a steal. John

Higgins takes the frame. Goodness

0:02:200:02:32

me, that was a great pot.

0:02:320:02:35

Well played. Excellent shot that

was.

0:02:390:02:43

It's Mark King 4, John Higgins 4.

Lovely shot. Screw into the side

0:02:490:02:57

there to bring the cue ball back for

the black, again. This is one of

0:02:570:03:01

those funny shots here were you just

have to work out percentage wise if

0:03:010:03:06

you think it's worth taking. And it

was. What a lovely shot he's played.

0:03:060:03:11

He's played it with running side.

He couldn't hit that any better.

0:03:110:03:14

Great shot. It's a final-frame

decider. It's all kwar, five frames

0:03:140:03:22

all. Ah, that's a fantastic pot from

John Higgins. -- square. What's

0:03:220:03:28

going on? I've never seen John

Higgins miss so many easy balls.

0:03:280:03:36

Absolutely great shot. He's taken

the pink. This could be shake hands

0:03:390:03:43

if this doesn't go in. And it's

missed. There it is. It's the

0:03:430:03:49

concession. It's Mark King who stuck

in there and refused to be beaten.

0:03:490:03:55

He's the victor,

0:03:550:03:55

in there and refused to be beaten.

He's the victor, 6-5.

I' lost

0:03:550:03:58

first-round in the last few years

here. I wanted to come here and play

0:03:580:04:03

and do damage. Every game I've sort

of played a little bit better. I

0:04:030:04:06

didn't play to my best today, nor

did John. I fought hard to beat John

0:04:060:04:11

at any time in any stage of a

tournament. It's great. Great

0:04:110:04:15

player, great person. Yeah, I'm

delighted.

Hopeless, hopeless. Just

0:04:150:04:21

said in the press, that's the

beginning of the end when you

0:04:210:04:24

malfunction as much as I did up

there. That will be a tough one to

0:04:240:04:27

take because I didn't really know

what I was doing at the end there.

0:04:270:04:31

So, yeah, beginning of the end, I

suppose, it will be. Yeah.

Yes, King

0:04:310:04:38

through to the quarter-final for the

first time since 2004. That was the

0:04:380:04:42

same year that Stephen Maguire won

this title and the former Champion

0:04:420:04:46

made it through to a ninth

quarter-final in an event he loves

0:04:460:04:54

after quick-fire victory over Graeme

Dott. He topped Trump in the last

0:04:540:04:58

round. Maguire through. So with John

Higgins gone, yet another top name

0:04:580:05:04

is ruled out.

0:05:040:05:04

Higgins gone, yet another top name

is ruled out. Ruling great win for

0:05:040:05:07

Mark King. Calm and positive

throughout. Four matches to come

0:05:070:05:11

tomorrow, including Ronnie

O'Sullivan. The line-up this evening

0:05:110:05:17

saw Ryan Day taking on Li Hang. He

has been flying of late. This year's

0:05:170:05:26

Masters runnerup, Joe Perry met The

Pistol from Northern Ireland, Mark

0:05:260:05:31

Allen.

0:05:310:05:32

Pistol from Northern Ireland, Mark

Allen. It's getting lonely for the

0:05:320:05:36

top seeds.

John Higgins said it was possibly

0:05:360:05:45

the beginning of the end. Let's hope

not for John Higgins. Mark Allen,

0:05:450:05:51

the world number nine, was

attempting to hold fast this evening

0:05:510:05:56

in his match against Joe Perry.

Allen has the better record against

0:05:560:06:01

43-year-old Perry. Joe hasn't beaten

him for years. Joe nicked the first

0:06:010:06:08

frame. We are off and running.

Commentary from Stephen Hendry and

0:06:080:06:15

Dennis Taylor.

0:06:150:06:16

STEPHEN HENDRY: That's a good shot.

Leave himself a perfect angle on the

0:06:500:06:55

black. Another well played shot.

Couldn't go into it at full pace

0:06:550:07:04

because the cue ball would have

screwed back to near where his hand

0:07:040:07:09

is, and it would have been nothing.

He's got a very economical

0:07:090:07:20

technique. He tends to point it, but

deliberate back swing, deliberate

0:07:200:07:25

pause. Cue it is very smoothly. --

cues it very smoothly.

0:07:250:07:41

Plays at a decent pace as well, when

he's playing well. Doesn't waste

0:07:460:07:50

much time. At the moment, he's got

the cue ball on a string. DENNIS

0:07:500:08:00

TAYLOR:

What he would call easy on

the eye to watch, he really is.

0:08:000:08:08

Oh. A few have been going in-off the

angle here. I mean, that looked like

0:08:110:08:19

it was going to miss.

0:08:190:08:22

Angle on the black here. Which he

has done. Perfect again, go into the

0:08:260:08:31

five reds and pink. The way that

they are not tightly bunched, he

0:08:310:08:37

would be very unlucky not to be on

anything here.

That is what Stephen

0:08:370:08:41

was talking about. He couldn't have

played it any better than that.

0:08:410:08:47

That was lovely to watch the cue

ball. It looked like it was going to

0:08:550:08:59

miss the bunch, didn't it? At the

end the screw took effect and

0:08:590:09:04

brought it back into the pack.

Excellent snooker so far from Joe

0:09:040:09:08

Perry.

0:09:080:09:10

You would think odds on to make a

century break from this position.

0:09:290:09:36

Going to be a careless shot that

would cause him not to.

0:09:360:09:40

He's made two centuries so far in

this UK Championship.

0:09:510:09:57

There's been 77 so far, we're only

at the last 16 stage.

0:10:000:10:06

Is

Mark Allen, the only thing he did

wrong was catching the brown. He has

0:10:140:10:20

been sitting in his seat ever since,

really. Can't do anything when your

0:10:200:10:25

opponent is playing this well. 83 in

the previous and opening frame.

0:10:250:10:33

Yeah, he just missed that half

chance, didn't he, right middle

0:10:360:10:40

pocket. It seemed to drift off right

at the last-minute. You could

0:10:400:10:44

possibly say a little bit unlucky.

But he's being severely punished.

0:10:440:10:50

Maybe it was always on that right

jaw. Certainly missed by more than

0:10:550:11:00

it looked at the beginning.

0:11:000:11:04

Going to have to take the... He

looked at the green. He's straight

0:11:070:11:10

on the blue here, but it just means

it's a medium length pot. On the

0:11:100:11:17

yellow, can he reach it? Just about.

0:11:170:11:22

That was exactly, that yellow, was

exactly the yellow that (inaudible)

0:11:250:11:31

maximum break at the Crucible

Theatre.

0:11:310:11:39

Joe made 26 centuries last season,

he's on 11 this season.

0:11:510:11:56

That's probably one of his best this

season, 101.

0:12:000:12:09

APPLAUSE

0:12:090:12:15

Joe Perry wins both the two frames.

He leads Mark Allen 2-0.

0:12:210:12:26

Joe Perry wins both the two frames.

He leads Mark Allen 2-0. Joe's third

0:12:260:12:29

century. Frames three and four were

shared. 3-1 at the interval to

0:12:290:12:34

Perry. Joe ranked at world number

22. We will fast forward to the

0:12:340:12:38

start of the fifth frame now.

0:12:380:12:40

DENNIS TAYLOR:

That's a cracking

opening pot. Deserved a good kiss on

0:12:460:12:53

the blue there, as we show it to you

again. There's a few loose reds.

0:12:530:13:00

He'd love to get on the one that's

closest to the black as soon as

0:13:000:13:05

possible.

0:13:050:13:07

Needs to pull up. And, it has. Red,

black and then the red next to the

0:13:170:13:24

black. And he's in business early on

in this frame.

0:13:240:13:37

STEPHEN HENDRY: Important frame for

Mark Allen.

0:13:370:13:43

It's not ideal to be chasing the

match all the time.

0:13:470:14:00

If he went 4-1 down. That's very

well played.

0:14:010:14:07

APPLAUSE

Frame winning chance now.

0:14:070:14:13

Just purely about concentration now.

0:14:410:14:44

Nothing complicated to do with the

cue ball. Just a series of stuns,

0:14:480:14:55

screws, cannons. But even cannons

will be rare because, well, all the

0:14:550:14:59

reds are in the open.

0:14:590:15:01

I know Joe Perry would have liked to

have got the cue ball further behind

0:15:110:15:15

the green, but it didn't look like

the worst break off in the world.

0:15:150:15:22

Pretty brisk so far.

0:15:300:15:33

Joe Perry four seconds a shot

quicker than Mark Allen.

0:15:540:16:01

Mid-session interval on the other

table, so a bit of noise and people

0:16:160:16:21

leaving the arena there, as you can

see.

0:16:210:16:26

But when you're fully focused, you

don't notice what's going on. They

0:16:320:16:37

get used to it, I suppose.

0:16:370:16:42

UMPIRE:

Can you stay quiet, please,

thank you.

0:17:250:17:29

STEPHEN HENDRY: A little bit more

demanding positional shot that Mark

0:17:290:17:34

Allen's had in this break. The first

one he's had to think about.

0:17:340:17:38

Everything's been pretty automatic.

0:17:380:17:41

If the pink goes to the left corner,

you would think that's frame over.

0:17:490:17:58

Just what he needed. What he was

hoping for in the interval, a good

0:18:010:18:06

chance in this fifth frame to win it

in one visit.

0:18:060:18:11

APPLAUSE

0:18:190:18:21

The frame is won, can he go on to

make a century break?

0:18:270:18:34

He's had five centuries so far, Mark

Allen, nothing wrong with his

0:18:470:18:50

scoring in this event, when he gets

in.

0:18:500:18:55

This would be the 80th century of

the Championship, should he make it.

0:18:570:19:04

He needs to hurry up a bit.

Get your

roller skates on, ref.

0:19:060:19:14

He's already made 30 centuries this

season. 36 last season.

0:19:170:19:23

Very well played, Mark Allen.

Excellent.

0:19:350:19:40

APPLAUSE

0:19:400:19:42

3-1 down. It's a good way to come

out after the interval and start

0:19:460:19:51

your comeback.

He's brought his

average shot time down by two

0:19:510:19:58

seconds as well in this break. I

said at the start of the match, when

0:19:580:20:05

he gets in the balls he stuns and

screws and cannons, he's just

0:20:050:20:09

brilliant to watch.

0:20:090:20:13

He can't beat the high break. That

is still at 142. £5,000 for the high

0:20:220:20:29

break. 15 if any player can make a

maximum break. But this has been

0:20:290:20:41

superb. That cue ball has been, as

we say, on a string.

0:20:410:20:50

Only a half chance, he took it. He

cleared the table with this

0:20:550:20:59

magnificent break of 135. Now he's

just one frame behind. 3-2 to Joe

0:20:590:21:04

just one frame behind. 3-2 to Joe

Perry.

Mark Allen created something

0:21:040:21:07

of a scoring Vortex himself here in

York. His sixth century of this

0:21:070:21:11

year's event. He's already knocked

in a half century in frame six, as

0:21:110:21:17

Perry takes up the chase.

0:21:170:21:19

STEPHEN HENDRY: Struck it

confidently. A chance now to pinch

0:21:270:21:30

this frame. 57 behind, but, for me,

it's evens who wins this frame now.

0:21:300:21:41

Joe's perhaps even a slight

favourite.

0:21:410:21:45

DENNIS TAYLOR: Mark Allen will know

as long as there is a red near the

0:22:090:22:13

cushion, there is always a potential

stumbling block. We saw Joe do it in

0:22:130:22:18

an earlier frame, when he missed one

near the cushion into the right

0:22:180:22:23

corner pocket.

In fact, I think that

was to go 3-0 up. So he's got two

0:22:230:22:34

fairly easy pottable reds and then

the one near the cushion.

0:22:340:22:40

A little bit surprised he's playing

for the pink. The pink will now go

0:23:090:23:14

on the brown spot.

0:23:140:23:23

Didn't have to play for pink there.

0:23:300:23:35

Got to get this just right so he

only has to roll the red in. Well,

0:23:450:23:53

he's decided to develop it, if

anything, it's made it slightly more

0:23:530:23:57

awkward. If it's close and tight on

the cushion, as it is, it makes it a

0:23:570:24:02

little bit easier. Just drop it in.

0:24:020:24:06

APPLAUSE

0:24:070:24:10

Of course, it's not a

straight-forward run to the winning

0:24:120:24:15

line with the pink up on the brown

spot.

0:24:150:24:21

Ah, that's OK because the green is

available into the left corner.

0:24:260:24:32

Yeah, that was an excellent

positional shot, from black to

0:24:400:24:45

yellow. Made one of the tricky shots

of this clearance very easy, yellow

0:24:450:24:50

to green.

0:24:500:24:54

Again, absolutely perfect position.

0:25:090:25:13

Would have liked the cue ball to

travel another two or three inches.

0:25:210:25:28

It might have been a straight stun.

It could land on the top cushion.

0:25:280:25:34

That's exactly what it's going to

do. It's a little bounce. It's

0:25:340:25:39

missable. So blue to pink wasn't the

best shot, but the in-off is not on,

0:25:390:25:46

so just concentrate on the pot.

Brilliant frame.

0:25:460:25:54

He regains his two frame advantage.

Leads Mark Allen 4-2.

0:25:580:26:02

He regains his two frame advantage.

Leads Mark Allen 4-2. What a key

0:26:020:26:04

moment in the match that could be.

Joe, once again, putting clear

0:26:040:26:08

daylight between himself and the

world's number nine player. Not the

0:26:080:26:12

first time that he's pinched a frame

from underneath his nose. Frame

0:26:120:26:16

seven now.

0:26:160:26:20

STEPHEN HENDRY: A nice little shot.

Just using the line of the side of

0:26:290:26:34

the pack just to get the cue ball on

to the pink, for right middle.

0:26:340:26:42

DENNIS TAYLOR:

Very clever. He's

knocked that red over the middle

0:27:140:27:19

pocket because he's got an angle on

the pink, were he's running away

0:27:190:27:25

from the bunch.

0:27:250:27:30

Pink is still available, if he can't

get the correct side of the blue.

0:27:340:27:41

Top spin, to bring a few more into

play. It's going to be a little bit

0:28:090:28:18

awkward. He might need his cue

extension. Some top spin to push

0:28:180:28:26

survived through the reds. One more

good

0:28:260:28:34

survived through the reds. One more

good shot here, and it will be a

0:28:340:28:38

terrific chance.

0:28:380:28:48

Joe has potted eight out of date

with the rest. Mark Allen potted

0:29:180:29:27

four out of four. Ashfaq eight out

of eight. At the moment having to

0:29:270:29:33

concentrate on the pink because the

black won't go into the right corner

0:29:330:29:36

pocket.

0:29:360:29:46

Very few pots being missed. He might

have to go into the reds again here.

0:30:070:30:18

Looking at that.

0:30:180:30:28

This time he tried to get on the red

that is near the black, which

0:30:310:30:38

through the black up to both

corners. Just have enough angle to

0:30:380:30:42

do that, there. You would have to

say, one more nice little cannon

0:30:420:30:57

here, and he had them perfect. He is

cueing beautifully at the moment,

0:30:570:31:05

Joe Perry, he really is.

He just not

look like missing, does he? His cue

0:31:050:31:19

ball control has been excellent.

0:31:190:31:25

The pot success for both players is

pretty high, 95% is an excellent

0:31:340:31:40

figure.

0:31:400:31:49

In I think pinching that last frame,

Mark Allen made that break of 56 and

0:32:020:32:10

it looked like he was going to level

the scores at 3-3. It has been a big

0:32:100:32:14

lift for Joe Perry.

Really was an

excellent 64 break that put himself

0:32:140:32:22

4-2 in front.

APPLAUSE

0:32:220:32:35

The frame well and truly safe, and

looking at making his second century

0:32:350:32:41

of the match.

0:32:410:32:46

We've had 80 centuries in this

year's Betway UK Championship. Joe

0:33:020:33:10

has had three so far. That has

finished awkwardly. Could the

0:33:100:33:28

Spanish hopes of a century? He will

not be too concerned about that. He

0:33:280:33:38

got one chance and that was more

than enough and that break of 87

0:33:380:33:41

puts on just one frame away from a

place in the quarterfinal. He leads

0:33:410:33:45

Mark Allen my 5-2.

Yes, and there is

confirmation that. But the Antrim

0:33:450:33:55

man hit back with his second century

of the match, one then a 75, to win

0:33:550:34:00

the next two and get back to within

just one frame of the Cambridgeshire

0:34:000:34:12

with and then Terry is scenting his

first UK quarterfinal for nine

0:34:120:34:18

years. It is so difficult to think

when you are under this sort of

0:34:180:34:30

pressure. Maybe that's what he

needs, a fluke.

He's not on the

0:34:300:34:44

brown, but he can run in behind it.

And, at first glance, as we are

0:34:440:34:52

going to show you the fluke again,

he was trying to pot this and play

0:34:520:34:56

it as a shot to nothing. And the

stroke of good fortune. And how does

0:34:560:35:05

mark Allen get to the two reds to

the black and left near the

0:35:050:35:11

cushions, he would have to nestle

onto those. But there's a lot of

0:35:110:35:15

obstacles on the way to doing that.

He's going to have to give this

0:35:150:35:20

quite a bit of thought. 45 points

behind his opponent and he needs one

0:35:200:35:32

frame, and you're left with the

situation here, after your opponent

0:35:320:35:37

has had a massive fluke.

0:35:370:35:48

I can't see anything else that he

can play to land on, because of the

0:35:490:35:53

way the reds are. Sometimes you're

left with a situation where you just

0:35:530:36:03

cannot see an escape route.

Meanwhile, Joe, he sat in his chair,

0:36:030:36:15

he's had a nice minute or two to

take some deep breaths and get his

0:36:150:36:19

composure back.

0:36:190:36:29

Twice across the table is no good,

because the blue is in the way Andy

0:36:310:36:36

two reds near the blue spot in the

way so he's trying to find a gap

0:36:360:36:40

that's not really there, and it's

one of those situations where he

0:36:400:36:43

might have to hit and hope, he might

just have to hit this as hard as he

0:36:430:36:50

can. Yes, he had no shot on and he

had to trust to luck and, I tell you

0:36:500:37:00

what... I tell you what, it might

not be that bad!

0:37:000:37:13

A couple of possible pots, but this

is awkward cueing. Oh, he's got it,

0:37:200:37:35

he's got it!

APPLAUSE

0:37:350:37:40

Think that minute or two that he had

just compose in his chair has worked

0:37:400:37:46

out perfectly for Joe Perry.

Year,

Mark Allen was at the table and

0:37:460:37:54

there just was no shot available to

him. He had to hit and hope. It was

0:37:540:38:01

a bit of good fortune that Joe had

when he fluke that red that put mark

0:38:010:38:06

in all sorts of trouble. 53 the

difference. It has been an

0:38:060:38:15

entertaining match, that's for sure.

Both players have played some superb

0:38:150:38:19

snicker. Only in the last frame has

the tension crept in. Look at the

0:38:190:38:28

pot success rate, 92 and 93, both

had centuries, Mark Allen, 134 and

0:38:280:38:35

135.

0:38:350:38:45

He's played well tonight, Joe Perry,

two first important frames, the

0:38:550:39:00

first of the six that he pinched,

then Mark Allen had a 46 and 56

0:39:000:39:06

break, those have proved to be very

important but he has been very solid

0:39:060:39:14

indeed in the balls.

Just that one

shot, as you said. He won't forget

0:39:140:39:22

about that. Mark coming to the table

but barring snookers Joe Perry takes

0:39:220:39:36

a frame 6-4.

That is indeed what

happened. After a match of such

0:39:360:39:42

fantastic quality from both men,

Mark Allen the past the event and a

0:39:420:39:47

Joe Perry who was run -- runner-up

to Ronnie O'Sullivan at the Masters

0:39:470:39:53

strides into the quarterfinals of

the UK Championship and could get

0:39:530:39:58

him closer to a return to Alexandra

Palace in the New Year.

0:39:580:40:03

him closer to a return to Alexandra

Palace in the New Year.

I was

0:40:030:40:04

pleased with how I played. I felt

like I played good stuff from the

0:40:040:40:08

start. I threw everything at Mark

and he was still there. I sort of

0:40:080:40:12

hold myself together until right at

the end then it all went away from

0:40:120:40:14

me, but from the start of the match

I was very solid, didn't miss

0:40:140:40:20

anything easy, scored well and took

my chances, even though they were

0:40:200:40:24

half chances and I competed with

Mark, which is what you have to do,

0:40:240:40:27

because he's so solid, his all-round

game. I did that and I was pleased

0:40:270:40:32

with myself.

Congratulations to Joe

on a compose performers. Ryan Day is

0:40:320:40:40

also battling to get itself back to

the Masters at Alexandra Palace.

0:40:400:40:46

He's the 16th qualifier with a posse

of guys on his tail. Tonight he was

0:40:460:40:51

up against the 27-year-old Chinese

cue man Li Hai. There was a maximum

0:40:510:41:03

alert being sounded in the arena for

Li. Mark got even closer and missed

0:41:030:41:12

on the pink and all of the crowd

were on their feet. He has potted

0:41:120:41:17

all 15 reds and 15 blacks. Very

tricky yellow... Oh! A little bit

0:41:170:41:30

too troublesome for the Titus O'Neil

who has made 20 centuries. That

0:41:300:41:36

levels the scores at 1-1. Again,

this was a tremendous contest which

0:41:360:41:42

deserve the final frame decider. And

indeed it got one. Into the 11th

0:41:420:41:47

frame, the Welshman has got in. He

has a break of 37. It is being

0:41:470:41:53

watched by Alan McManus and John

Parrott.

0:41:530:42:04

There were enough loose reds here

for Ryan Day at the snookers

0:42:200:42:26

required stage, six reds lacklustre,

one at top left, he can get on that

0:42:260:42:39

one but after this, blue, red, black

from here and he would almost be

0:42:390:42:44

home.

0:42:440:42:46

Decent angle. Would be messing with

the back of reds. He has a decent

0:42:510:42:58

choice and could be playing for the

red in the middle of the table. It

0:42:580:43:04

was good that he could play for a

choice of two.

0:43:040:43:07

He's not in guaranteed position,

playing it. It is the easier part of

0:43:130:43:16

the three. But he doesn't want to

bring the reds into play and not be

0:43:160:43:22

on colour.

0:43:220:43:32

Good news and bad news. The good

news is the red has gone over the

0:43:360:43:40

corner. The bad news is he now has a

nervy green. Doesn't have to do

0:43:400:43:50

anything with the cue ball other

than cue this straight. But it is

0:43:500:43:58

not a gimme. He's composing himself.

He can possibly take the brown, as

0:43:580:44:04

well, if he doesn't fancy the green.

Either way, it's a difficult pot.

0:44:040:44:13

That's excellent. That really is

excellent. This has been top drawer

0:44:130:44:18

stuff from Ryan Day. The best he's

hit the ball in the match. To do

0:44:180:44:24

this in the final frame, to find

your game and hit it as well as

0:44:240:44:29

this, this has been an outstanding

break. Superb.

0:44:290:44:42

That was sweet. He has hit the ball

as well as he has this evening, in

0:44:510:44:58

this final break. He's been so

impressive in this tournament. Ryan

0:44:580:45:04

Day is a different animal. He

doesn't wilt under pressure. He's

0:45:040:45:09

shown guts than that. He won the

decider in the last round against

0:45:090:45:14

his compatriot Mark Williams and

seems to be doing the same this

0:45:140:45:18

evening against that man there, Li

Hang. Did very well before the

0:45:180:45:23

interval tonight but it looks like

it is going to be over by the end of

0:45:230:45:31

it. That should confirm Ryan Day's

place in Friday's quarterfinals.

0:45:310:45:48

Not a good sign for a mobile to go.

One good, clean pot and he should

0:45:500:45:55

win the match. This has been

outstanding. You can see there with

0:45:550:46:00

the fist pump what it means to Ryan

Day. What an absolutely fantastic

0:46:000:46:05

break. It really is. When you need

to produce your best, when you're

0:46:050:46:12

under most pressure, he has turned

up. Superb it really is.

0:46:120:46:20

Finishing with a flourish.

0:46:390:46:49

He deserves to finish this match

with the century. This has been a

0:46:560:46:59

stunning break. Can't play any

better than this. Brilliant for your

0:46:590:47:11

confidence levels when you can

finish a match with a break like

0:47:110:47:15

this when you need it the most.

APPLAUSE

0:47:150:47:27

Perfect stuff. The highest break of

the tournament 142 right now by his

0:47:270:47:43

fellow countrymen Michael White, but

this has been top quality in this

0:47:430:47:45

decider.

He will hark back to those

blacks at the beginning of the frame

0:47:450:47:58

when he was on the wrong side, one

in particular, it was just full of

0:47:580:48:03

confidence, the way he had it,

absolutely brilliant shot. He

0:48:030:48:07

couldn't just trickle it in, he

played the positive shot. Everything

0:48:070:48:11

he's got, he thoroughly deserves.

Tremendous break.

0:48:110:48:23

APPLAUSE

Ryan Day has produced the goods when

0:48:340:48:41

it mattered the most. Starring break

of 138. He moved into Friday's

0:48:410:48:48

quarterfinals with a 6-5 win over Li

Hang. Rhine survives another decider

0:48:480:48:57

just like you did in the last round.

And a great win by Joe Perry.

0:48:570:49:11

Snooker mugwump follows and tomorrow

we will find out the fate of Ronnie

0:49:110:49:15

O'Sullivan in the evening, but first

of all in the afternoon, Shaun

0:49:150:49:18

Murphy taking on a man on his way

back up the rankings, Ricky Walden.

0:49:180:49:21

It is major, Jim, but not as we know

it. Good night from Mars all in

0:49:210:49:27

York.
