:00:31. > :00:36.HAZEL IRVINE: Hello, it's all about two entertainers from two very

:00:37. > :00:44.different areas here in York. Above them have won this championship, but

:00:45. > :00:48.fully 19 years apart. Judd Trump picked it up in 2011 but for Jimmy

:00:49. > :00:53.White, that piece of hardware represents one of the greatest

:00:54. > :00:58.moments of his long career. When he claimed it in 1992. Jimmy is rolling

:00:59. > :01:03.back the clock today, he will be on our screens once again so get

:01:04. > :01:26.ready, it is the Jimmy and Judd show.

:01:27. > :01:33.We will see both Jimmy and Judd's matches this afternoon, Jimmy has a

:01:34. > :01:36.tough one against Stuart Bingham and four Judd Trump, the man who lit up

:01:37. > :01:46.the crucible with his smile, his antics and good play, it is the

:01:47. > :01:50.player from Thailand. Not since a certain Stephen Hendry knocked Jimmy

:01:51. > :01:56.White out of this championship in the last 32, 9-8 final decider, it

:01:57. > :02:04.was cruelty. Stephen is here with Ken Doherty for the next few hours .

:02:05. > :02:10.You have had some great matches with Jimmy, the World Championship final

:02:11. > :02:14.is particularly bit great to seem hitting the limelight. Yes, great to

:02:15. > :02:19.see him on the main stage. His form is probably not what he would like

:02:20. > :02:25.to still have that absolute love for the game is admirable. You would not

:02:26. > :02:29.expect many favours from Stuart Bingham. He is playing a man in

:02:30. > :02:34.form, no doubt about that. He has gradually got better and better, he

:02:35. > :02:39.won his third major ranking tournament in Australia. -- his

:02:40. > :02:42.first major ranking tournament. It be a tough task for Jimmy, no doubt

:02:43. > :02:50.because he is playing one of the top players. Jimmy was saying he has had

:02:51. > :02:54.a string of injuries, policeman's heel and tennis elbow. We will see

:02:55. > :02:57.how he feels later. One of the great things about the new format means we

:02:58. > :03:00.see some of the emerging players and we see the old favourites as well.

:03:01. > :03:06.We were all pretty impressed last night with a 15-year-old amateur,

:03:07. > :03:15.Shane Castle, up against the world number two, Mark Selby and let's be

:03:16. > :03:22.fair, he is only 15, 120th but he led 3-1 before succumbing 6-4 but he

:03:23. > :03:27.was certainly not overawed and we suspect we will be seeing more of

:03:28. > :03:35.this young man. Disappointed I did not win, I had chances to win but

:03:36. > :03:44.even if you are 5-0 up... I was happy with the way I played, at the

:03:45. > :03:49.literature that is all I could do. Clearly not used the lights there

:03:50. > :03:52.but what did you make of him? He held himself together at Ridley, I

:03:53. > :03:59.thought he confident, assured -- admirably. The analogy of the rabbit

:04:00. > :04:03.caught in the headlights, he was not all of them at all, he loved every

:04:04. > :04:10.minute and he produced some really good snooker and for a time when he

:04:11. > :04:12.was 31 up, -- 3-1 up, he had Mark Selby under real pressure and that

:04:13. > :04:15.is the great thing about this format, it gives the young boys a

:04:16. > :04:21.chance and that will give tremendous confidence going forward. And yet we

:04:22. > :04:27.saw yesterday, Rhys Clark take on Ronnie O'Sullivan and he said

:04:28. > :04:31.afterwards, Rhys Clark, he felt embarrassed by his performance and

:04:32. > :04:35.some will question the value of that experience for emerging players.

:04:36. > :04:42.Where do you stand on that? It is something you cannot teach, you like

:04:43. > :04:48.being out there or you don't. Shane Castle loved every minute of it but

:04:49. > :04:53.Rhys Clark can play better than that but you have to take a few chances,

:04:54. > :05:02.don't miss any easy balls, he missed a couple of blacks off the spot.

:05:03. > :05:05.Hopefully it is a learning experience. I would say don't be

:05:06. > :05:11.embarrassed, because you shouldn't be. If somebody said to him when he

:05:12. > :05:14.first picked up a cue, in a couple of years you're going to be playing

:05:15. > :05:20.in one used tournament against Ronnie O'Sullivan -- one of the

:05:21. > :05:23.biggest tournaments, that is your dream as a snooker player so I

:05:24. > :05:27.shouldn't be embarrassed and he should not be either. The way he

:05:28. > :05:30.played, because he is playing the what best player in the world.

:05:31. > :05:35.Second-round matches all the way today, eight tables going morning,

:05:36. > :05:45.noon and night once again hearing York. It is Judd Trump against the

:05:46. > :05:51.player from Thailand. Last week, Stuart Graham with the runner-up

:05:52. > :05:55.with the champions, and damage the people's champion, Jimmy White. Rod

:05:56. > :06:02.Lawler taking on John Higgins playing with a new cue this season.

:06:03. > :06:10.And two time winner of this, Mike Williams facing the Qatari national

:06:11. > :06:16.snooker coach. Rory McLeod. That gives you a pic as to what is

:06:17. > :06:23.happening elsewhere, Chinese player against a former Welsh runner-up and

:06:24. > :06:28.Scotland's Jamie Burnett against Chris Lakeland who has knocked out

:06:29. > :06:34.Ryan Day, that was a significant scalp and the score is running down

:06:35. > :06:40.across-the-board, but screens, Accrington's Chris Norbury who beat

:06:41. > :06:46.Martin Gould in the first round is facing Glasgow's rapidly improving

:06:47. > :06:49.player. But on the go. But a couple of matches here have finished this

:06:50. > :06:54.morning, both of them second-round matches, Ricky Walden of the world

:06:55. > :07:02.number 12 heaving a bit of a sigh of relief to get past Yorkshire's own

:07:03. > :07:07.Peter Lyons. Ward in which the crucible semifinals running at a 6-2

:07:08. > :07:12.winner. Wiping the sweat from his brow, as indeed was the world than

:07:13. > :07:17.the five, Stephen Maguire. What a story this was, up against the

:07:18. > :07:27.brilliant young Belgian who had led 5-2 and fought back to make a 91 in

:07:28. > :07:29.the decider and four frames in a row so fantastic comeback from the world

:07:30. > :07:37.number five is showing real character and class to do so. It was

:07:38. > :07:41.in this event a couple of years ago that Judd Trump claimed his first

:07:42. > :07:45.major title with his peculiar and very watchable brand of what he

:07:46. > :07:48.called naughty snooker. He ascended to world number one but since then,

:07:49. > :07:58.he has gone backwards a little bit and is now ranked world number four.

:07:59. > :08:02.He faces today Dechawat Poomjaeng, with his great big smile and antics

:08:03. > :08:07.and no lack of skill. Let's remind you of his antics then.

:08:08. > :08:14.It is to two! -- it is Dechawat

:08:15. > :08:47.smile. here 49 so he doesn't want to take

:08:48. > :09:51.chance against Judd. Now he A potential banana skin there in

:09:52. > :10:06.these first couple of rounds. And this man is a dangerous opponent.

:10:07. > :10:09.If he was to just drop this end, he would have the black off the

:10:10. > :10:28.opposite corner. He played it beautifully, good shot.

:10:29. > :10:38.Fully committed, that's what you got to do on those types of shot. If the

:10:39. > :10:45.plant is not an, you can go into the back of it. It does not look like he

:10:46. > :10:57.is playing a screw behind them. Plenty of power, screw back and get

:10:58. > :11:08.some spend. -- spin. That was a bruise the bonus -- a bonus.

:11:09. > :11:15.Winning the frame at this visit is a tall order but certainly a chance to

:11:16. > :12:02.get right back in it. Well, that is a surprise. The Bulls

:12:03. > :12:06.have broken nicely, I don't know why he decided to play that read, it was

:12:07. > :12:14.tight near the pink and you can see his disappointment. That is a let

:12:15. > :13:41.off for Judd. He should clinch the frame now.

:13:42. > :13:50.That should put the frame beyond any doubt at all. Always a good settling

:13:51. > :13:59.moment when you get the opening frame. He seems to be using his cube

:14:00. > :14:09.very nicely so it could be a tough match for Poomjaeng. He had a good

:14:10. > :14:52.chance there, easy read he missed. -- easy red.

:14:53. > :15:04.Seems everybody now is weighing left and right-handed with the shot.

:15:05. > :15:07.These rests will be obsolete shortly. He caught the jaw so it

:15:08. > :15:15.will not go in but it will be enough for Poomjaeng and Judd Trump...

:15:16. > :15:19.Dechawat Poomjaeng had one chance, Judd Trump leads 1-0.

:15:20. > :15:22.HAZEL IRVINE: If you want to get in touch, we would love to hear from

:15:23. > :15:30.you in a variety of ways. If you want to e-mail us, use our e-mail

:15:31. > :15:36.address. You can tweet us as well or you can comment on our Facebook

:15:37. > :15:41.page. Let's have a quick discussion about Judd Trump's season so far,

:15:42. > :15:48.not his best. Know, very poor from his standards, it has to be said.

:15:49. > :15:53.And even by his own admission. This is a tournament he has won before.

:15:54. > :15:56.He likes longer matches and some players have favourite tournaments,

:15:57. > :16:01.but everyone he played in was his favourite but some players like

:16:02. > :16:02.going to certain venues will stop if that he has had a good history,

:16:03. > :16:05.going to certain venues will stop if that he has had a might give him

:16:06. > :16:11.that bit of inspiration that he needs but he is struggling. And for

:16:12. > :16:14.somebody who has won the UK championship before, he has not been

:16:15. > :16:19.playing his best that also he is honourable. Needs confidence. Do you

:16:20. > :16:22.attribute that to anything in particular, Stephen? I don't know

:16:23. > :16:27.what he does away from tournaments, what practice he does in his life

:16:28. > :16:31.away from snooker but I would hope that he is disappointed with his

:16:32. > :16:35.season. He has a carefree attitude to the game but if you have any

:16:36. > :16:40.ambition to be the best player in the world, you need to care and do

:16:41. > :16:45.something about it. If you are not having a good season. This and then

:16:46. > :16:48.the Masters after the New Year and the World Championship in Spring

:16:49. > :16:49.said this would be a good time to find form. White microbe back week

:16:50. > :17:04.go. I totally agree, it is amazing,

:17:05. > :17:12.really, how he showed so much potential. I think he tried to

:17:13. > :17:16.change his game and he's got between, doesn't know when is the

:17:17. > :17:22.right time to push the boat out. But a remarkable talent. I think this

:17:23. > :17:27.could be a nice game for him because I don't think Poomjaeng will cause

:17:28. > :17:45.too many problems. So you may regain some confidence.

:17:46. > :17:54.Back cue ball should have been a lot closer. He has left a chance now in

:17:55. > :17:58.the far right corner. Doesn't have to do a lot with a cue ball to get a

:17:59. > :18:20.position on the black. Nicely played. He had a good chance

:18:21. > :18:24.in the last frame and did not make the most of it. You cannot keep

:18:25. > :18:35.spurning these chances, not at this level.

:18:36. > :18:48.Just trying to drift past the first red and hit the second red. He tried

:18:49. > :18:52.to drift past but just caught it. Not the best break-builder in the

:18:53. > :18:58.game by any stretch of the imagination. He has only had seven

:18:59. > :19:00.competitive centuries, so not a great scorer, but a good all-round

:19:01. > :19:45.game. Not the best safety play, but saved

:19:46. > :20:11.by the pink. Much too thick. The pink has come to his rescue.

:20:12. > :20:21.He would like to play the straight one because that is how to get back

:20:22. > :20:32.to the tall and of the table. -- end of the table. It would've been tough

:20:33. > :20:37.to get round back of the black. Just have a bit of a look. If you

:20:38. > :21:01.straight enough on this thread, you can roll it off the cushion again.

:21:02. > :21:42.Nicely played. Now, can he make the most of this opportunity?

:21:43. > :21:53.He's got to be a little careful. He would like to push through the

:21:54. > :22:05.middle red but if he hits it half, that could cause problems.

:22:06. > :22:32.It looks like he is putting topspin on, maybe he has found another red.

:22:33. > :22:47.Well, it was a tricky shot. I expected him to get it. Another good

:22:48. > :22:58.chance gone. Well, there you go. A similar shot ROM -- from Judd. A bit

:22:59. > :24:06.of a scrappy start, this. That is a careless safety shot. He

:24:07. > :24:35.needs the brown to come to his rescue, and I think it has.

:24:36. > :24:45.needs the brown to come to his rescue, and

:24:46. > :25:03.needs the brown to come to his black because the White will finish

:25:04. > :25:03.that he's missed them all. The problem is, if you replace the

:25:04. > :25:15.balls, the problem is, if you replace the

:25:16. > :25:22.asking him to play again but from a It is just that red near the middle

:25:23. > :26:13.giving him another go at that It is just that red near the middle

:26:14. > :26:23.pocket is stopping him from play at -- playing it left-handed. He needs

:26:24. > :26:33.to take the cue ball up the table slightly for the back -- for the

:26:34. > :26:39.black. I would've thought maybe the swan neck was the better implement

:26:40. > :26:47.to use here. They call it the extended rest now. Here it is. It

:26:48. > :26:54.doesn't look much more like a goose, does that? It used to when it was

:26:55. > :26:58.only one bit. What they've done now is made in the rather than the

:26:59. > :27:03.semicircle they used to have at the metal in the front, because the cue

:27:04. > :27:12.used to get stuck occasionally. It was funny. You would push it through

:27:13. > :27:17.and it would get stuck. As I say, the pot is easy, he just wants to

:27:18. > :27:20.get a nice angle on the black. I've got a slight feeling he over

:27:21. > :27:27.complicating this. It doesn't have to be perfect. I thought that was a

:27:28. > :27:46.good choice, playing in right-handed. It needs a case. -- a

:27:47. > :27:47.kiss. That will do. Well done. He would have ended up with nothing,

:27:48. > :28:07.but he's OK. I had a letter through today, a

:28:08. > :28:10.young lady in Kettering is a big Judd Trump fan who has not been

:28:11. > :28:16.feeling so well at the moment. I hope she is feeling better, watching

:28:17. > :28:41.our number one player played pretty well today so far.

:28:42. > :28:56.Usually he goes right into the pack there. It would bring everything

:28:57. > :29:02.into play will stop -- interplay. Surely when you are confident you

:29:03. > :29:13.got to go in. He didn't quite catch them as he would like. Yes, as you

:29:14. > :29:23.say, they always have the one to the right. He has just loosened the reds

:29:24. > :29:30.slightly, that was his intention. Now everything is set for a sizeable

:29:31. > :29:41.contribution. This brown will put him one point in front.

:29:42. > :29:49.Another 60 points from this situation and he will be well and

:29:50. > :29:58.truly past the winning line stop -- the winning line. You can see he

:29:59. > :30:06.doesn't have an awful lot of room so he doesn't want to run it more than

:30:07. > :30:20.a couple of inches. Just be able to reach it without using the rest,

:30:21. > :30:21.that will make it a lot easier. Now he has got the ball is absolutely

:30:22. > :31:15.perfect. I'm happy with the contact there. He

:31:16. > :31:19.wanted to have a better angle on the blue than this. It looks very

:31:20. > :31:23.straight. Desperately looking to see if you can just roll the blue in and

:31:24. > :31:35.have the red above the two together. Jumped up straightaway, he

:31:36. > :31:40.wasn't happy with the contact. The one just above the two reds

:31:41. > :31:47.together, if that grows, he would much rather play that. This could be

:31:48. > :31:56.the key shot to this frame. Just went in a little bit too much. He's

:31:57. > :32:08.going to have to play a cannon here. The black is unmissable.

:32:09. > :32:15.He couldn't have played it better. He made a professional record with

:32:16. > :32:20.61 centuries last season. We have been talking about him being out of

:32:21. > :32:23.form, he has made 23 already this season so he is still playing well

:32:24. > :32:29.when he is around the black spot area but it is elsewhere. One more

:32:30. > :33:51.red and he will take a 2-0 lead. What a shame, no century, it could

:33:52. > :33:56.have been his 24th of the season. He looks in form and he leads 2-0.

:33:57. > :34:02.Obviously, we saw Dechawat Poomjaeng at the world championship last year

:34:03. > :34:09.and he had some great victories over Steve acquire but he seems to have

:34:10. > :34:15.gone into his shell. Judd Trump is a scary opponent. He puts a lot of

:34:16. > :34:22.pressure on you when you play him, he is a class act. And there is an

:34:23. > :34:31.example of the class act. I wonder what they are made of? They looked a

:34:32. > :34:37.bit dangerous! I don't think you would want to get hit by them on the

:34:38. > :34:42.head. But he had a couple of chances there, Poomjaeng and Judd was left

:34:43. > :34:45.with a chance. And he had to get this dreaded extended spider out and

:34:46. > :34:51.it just shows you all about fractions. He has played the red and

:34:52. > :34:54.if he just does not catch the second red, he would run into the cluster

:34:55. > :34:56.and would have been on nothing, that he got a nice cannon and it won him

:34:57. > :35:10.the frame. I think Poomjaeng needs to get a

:35:11. > :35:13.frame before the interval to get a chance in this match. He has had a

:35:14. > :35:19.couple of good chances but is yet to score. Judd Trump is just getting a

:35:20. > :36:37.foothold in this match nicely. There goes the red. I don't think

:36:38. > :36:41.the green has come to his rescue. They should look at the pack when

:36:42. > :36:47.they play a shot like that and just play it thin. Yes, but it was tough,

:36:48. > :36:52.it was tucked into the cushion, whenever you can leave your opponent

:36:53. > :36:58.tucked under eight cushion it always makes the safety shot more

:36:59. > :37:01.difficult. And maybe Judd does not need his opponent close to that

:37:02. > :37:09.question often enough to force a mistake. -- to that cushion. But

:37:10. > :37:10.when he gets in these situations, you fancy a frame-winning

:37:11. > :39:08.contribution. Can he play back for the black here?

:39:09. > :39:39.He can, good shot. Five reds, five lacks. -- five

:39:40. > :39:55.lacks. He has already made a maximum break

:39:56. > :40:03.and that was only European tour event number seven, the practice, he

:40:04. > :40:08.will make a couple of hundred at least. The prize money is going up,

:40:09. > :40:13.?5,000 of every tournament, we must be getting near 50 grand. 55,000 I

:40:14. > :40:26.heard the other day. We are just hearing that it has gone

:40:27. > :40:49.up to 59,000. That would buy a few Christmas presents!

:40:50. > :40:56.He has nudged another red into play but it will not be the easiest shots

:40:57. > :40:58.now to get position on the black. Unless he can roll this through and

:40:59. > :41:15.miss a case? Well, he could. Still not a great chance but he is

:41:16. > :41:23.working them nicely. Obviously, the big stumbling block would be the red

:41:24. > :41:26.next to the right-hand cushion. I wonder if the top one of those four

:41:27. > :41:55.pots in the middle. This black and one more red will

:41:56. > :42:10.make the frame is safe so all eyes on the maximum.

:42:11. > :42:26.He might play for the top one, not the bottom one. Is that a plant?

:42:27. > :42:46.He has played for the plug this time and he needs an angle on

:42:47. > :42:53.if he has copyright angle... It looks perfect to me. -- if he has

:42:54. > :43:07.got the right angle. He played it well. You mentioned

:43:08. > :43:12.earlier, John, that one shot and you can see him getting the next three

:43:13. > :43:16.reds and three blacks, I would be wondering about the next two and

:43:17. > :43:20.getting the angle to play the cannon into that ride and if it does not

:43:21. > :43:24.work, you have still got the other two reds.

:43:25. > :43:37.What a shame, he might have to play the cannon now. A horrible kick. A

:43:38. > :43:40.lot will depend on that read immediately above the black which is

:43:41. > :43:44.nicely in the open but whether that is stopping the other main macro

:43:45. > :43:49.going in the corner, there you see the kick. A jump on contact. I would

:43:50. > :44:05.not be playing the cannon just yet. That's all right. This is the red I

:44:06. > :44:24.would like to get. He has overscrew that. He was not

:44:25. > :44:30.thinking about doing what we suggested.

:44:31. > :44:47.What a shame. And would he have got the cannon? It would have done but

:44:48. > :44:55.he missed the black. But it was enough to win the frame, excellent

:44:56. > :44:58.break from Judd, disappointed, he has deliberately had a chance for

:44:59. > :45:02.the 59,000. HAZEL IRVINE: Hard lines and we are

:45:03. > :45:07.still waiting for the 100 maximum in professional snooker and he got

:45:08. > :45:12.close. He did, overscrew the red into the left of centre but it was

:45:13. > :45:24.perfect and look at the case he got -- the case. He will be delighted

:45:25. > :45:30.but disappointed. As a man who has made 11 147s, do you still get a

:45:31. > :45:33.tinge of excitement? The whole time in the Break it is in the back of

:45:34. > :45:36.your mind because you get one awkward red and you get an

:45:37. > :45:42.opportunity. He could have left it as a double but it is always in the

:45:43. > :45:48.back of your mind. How quickly will he have sensed in that particular

:45:49. > :45:54.break that it was an? Quickly, we will see him take a chance. Probably

:45:55. > :45:59.from the first red. As he said in commentary, there is that nice

:46:00. > :46:06.prize, 59,000, we saw Ronnie with a good chance. I am sure Judd will

:46:07. > :46:11.have been the same. we still wait. ?59,000 and rising. Meanwhile, back

:46:12. > :46:30.at the match. Going well for job job. -- what Judd Trump.

:46:31. > :46:43.That comment from Hazel now made me smile. I mentioned before the last

:46:44. > :46:49.frame that Poomjaeng would have had to win one of these frames before

:46:50. > :46:51.the break to have any chance. Otherwise he will lose this quite

:46:52. > :47:26.heavily. Just the one red at the back. I

:47:27. > :47:31.don't know if you can get one next to the blue. A lot of power needed

:47:32. > :47:37.to get onto that red above the black. He played a cannon on the

:47:38. > :47:51.blue. What a beautiful shot. Beautiful will stop -- beautiful.

:47:52. > :47:56.He's got a choice, either he goes into them or he goes for the loose

:47:57. > :48:09.one. I'm not too sure he's got a nice angle this time. Loose one it

:48:10. > :48:13.is. Is he going to play the exhibition shot and try to get all

:48:14. > :48:22.the reds into play as well? Just the one. Even that ran into the cushion.

:48:23. > :48:30.He's just having a look at the cluster here. You would think he

:48:31. > :48:41.would play the blue here. Maybe he's got an angle.

:48:42. > :49:04.Is there a red echoes? It us. By golly! -- a red that goes. It does!

:49:05. > :49:08.A nice angle on the blue. He is always looking for opportunities.

:49:09. > :49:16.The previous red he played, he made a force from the side and still

:49:17. > :49:22.managed to get this true -- to get the screw back off. It brought two

:49:23. > :49:28.more reds into play. It really was a good shot. He was really straight on

:49:29. > :49:30.it and really got into it. This is the shot I was talking about, he

:49:31. > :49:53.really had to power it in. 200 points now without reply. He is

:49:54. > :49:58.steam-rolling Poomjaeng at the moment. He's had a couple of

:49:59. > :50:02.chances, but if you don't take it at this level, someone like Judd Trump

:50:03. > :50:07.will really punish you. He will play the blue here. He is just a bit

:50:08. > :50:17.concerned. He's wondering whether those two reds below it will be a

:50:18. > :50:24.plant to the right corner. He's played nicely. Couldn't play it with

:50:25. > :50:28.the old than that you normally would because he was worried about

:50:29. > :50:35.knocking the ball in. And you see that red was travelling towards the

:50:36. > :50:40.corner. But he judged it nicely. In our career I think Dennis was the

:50:41. > :50:46.only player that used to play both hands. Most players as you said

:50:47. > :50:53.earlier, they are able to play both handed. I couldn't. Could you? I

:50:54. > :51:03.could play a strict Allwood shot left-handed, but, as you say, you

:51:04. > :51:11.sometimes wonder whether Ronnie could play everything right-handed.

:51:12. > :51:16.It is amazing. It is a fact. I was talking to Steven, he said, you

:51:17. > :51:26.watch them play in the clubs in China and everybody is switching

:51:27. > :51:32.hands left and right. It has just begun -- become part and parcel of

:51:33. > :51:37.the modern game. There is a clip on YouTube apparently of a young child

:51:38. > :51:45.in China just three years of age playing shots with both hands.

:51:46. > :51:51.Amazing. This scoring is getting almost beyond belief. Every time

:51:52. > :51:59.Judd gets in he seems to make 50 at least. As you say, it does help when

:52:00. > :52:06.your opponent does not punish you when you have made mistakes. He is

:52:07. > :52:16.such a great talent he will just get stronger, you will have thought.

:52:17. > :52:17.Poomjaeng had a chance in the first two frames and he didn't score at

:52:18. > :52:35.all. He was almost the favourite. So this pink and then one more red

:52:36. > :52:41.is required. Once he's potted the pink he goes 64 points in front, but

:52:42. > :52:55.67 points remaining. Where is the frame old red? Possibly not this

:52:56. > :52:58.visit. -- the frame-ball red. He is looking at a possible plant. Surely

:52:59. > :53:06.he will try to nudge a red safe rather than looking at that. You

:53:07. > :53:10.could reverse this but you would have to hit the first red on the

:53:11. > :53:26.right-hand side. This isn't a plant. Surely not! Surely! Told you. You

:53:27. > :53:41.are the worst judge I've ever known in my life. That is amazing. Look at

:53:42. > :53:55.that, it was right in. What ever happened to gravity? Well, he is on

:53:56. > :54:02.the board. Is it possible to clear from here? Unlikely. Tell you what,

:54:03. > :54:08.that was a heck of a shock to get a position on the black. He needs all

:54:09. > :54:14.these remaining colours. He can afford may two pinks, but the rest

:54:15. > :54:22.have got to be blacks. -- maybe two pinks. No, he has misjudged the

:54:23. > :54:34.cannon, so he is out of his ocean straightaway. -- out of position.

:54:35. > :55:08.That was a poor shot for someone of his class.

:55:09. > :55:19.Well, he went all out for it and that will cost him his fourth train

:55:20. > :55:23.-- frame, that is for certain. It was a risky shot, but if you are at

:55:24. > :55:29.the table and you fancy it, you go for it. But he won't be able to get

:55:30. > :55:33.another chance. At the mid-session interval, he will have to get

:55:34. > :55:42.himself together, because he will be trailing by four frames, that is for

:55:43. > :55:46.certain. Two frames a lot closer than the scoreline suggests. He was

:55:47. > :55:52.in the balls on two occasions. It just shows, at this level, you

:55:53. > :55:55.cannot afford to make mistakes. Anybody that is a top eight player,

:55:56. > :56:00.if you keep giving them chances, you will get punished. You can get away

:56:01. > :56:06.with it sometimes on the outside tables. But the best way is rarely

:56:07. > :56:07.need more than one chance, and Judd Trump has been getting more than one

:56:08. > :56:21.chance every frame. You can see how much confidence he

:56:22. > :56:30.is gaining. Every shot is getting quicker and quicker, really fancying

:56:31. > :56:37.the job. I think he was 14-1 to win this tournament. That looks a good

:56:38. > :56:43.price, the way he is playing. So many good players now though, aren't

:56:44. > :57:01.there? Yes, certainly. With those odds there is a bit of value there.

:57:02. > :57:18.He is blessed with amazing cue power. Not many players could have

:57:19. > :57:21.played that. There it is. We are going to quickly take you to

:57:22. > :57:25.the other side of the arena because there is an intriguing finish

:57:26. > :57:35.happening right now in a man featuring this man, of China. This

:57:36. > :57:51.is the final frame. It is getting very twitchy.

:57:52. > :58:16.Some cueing that was, to not batting. A fabulous shot. Showing

:58:17. > :58:24.patients again. -- to knock that in. Just coming up to 45 minutes, this

:58:25. > :58:34.deciding frame has been intriguing stuff. He has kept his cool. Can the

:58:35. > :58:55.2003 UK champion pole a good safety shot? -- pull a good safety shot.

:58:56. > :59:00.The White will be heading towards the left middle pocket, but after

:59:01. > :59:06.the blue he knocked on, I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't play this.

:59:07. > :59:07.But keep an eye on that cue ball, because it is going dangerously

:59:08. > :59:34.close to the left middle pocket. Initially you would think this was a

:59:35. > :59:38.good chance for Matthew, but it's not pretty the way it has finished

:59:39. > :59:46.in the middle of the table. He has to be careful he doesn't have a go

:59:47. > :59:50.and go off. Yes, it is one of those shots where if you take the the

:59:51. > :59:58.right corner, you've got to miss it on the thin side. If he hits it

:59:59. > :00:02.thick, Yu Delu will have a chance. It is whether he decides to take the

:00:03. > :00:10.part or to hit it a little thinner to guarantee safety. -- take the

:00:11. > :01:00.pot. It is one of those, you would think

:01:01. > :01:05.he would take the pot on because it is tough to get the safety shot. A

:01:06. > :01:09.carbon copy of the green he played earlier on. No shot unless you take

:01:10. > :01:17.the pot on. Very difficult to get this safe. There is a shot if you

:01:18. > :01:21.want... Not trying to come up with one but in this situation where it

:01:22. > :01:24.is just the pink to win the match, if it was a pink and a black it

:01:25. > :01:36.would be different. He has got to take this on. He wiped his hands and

:01:37. > :01:45.the cue tells us he is going to take the pink on.

:01:46. > :01:58.Absolutely brilliant. What a terrific shot to win a very exciting

:01:59. > :02:02.match. The Chinese player Yu Delu made Matthew Stevens work his socks

:02:03. > :02:04.off but what a pink to take the match and Matthew Stevens is through

:02:05. > :02:13.to the next round. HAZEL IRVINE: We came to its just

:02:14. > :02:16.that the right time. That was really intense at the end. A worthy winner

:02:17. > :02:23.in Matthew Stevens but pushed all the way by this young Chinese

:02:24. > :02:29.player. Nick Matthew was the divide up but then it kept switching -- I

:02:30. > :02:38.think Matthew. Yu Delu potted a fantastic loop. He got a bit unlucky

:02:39. > :02:48.kissing the pink. A great pink by Matthew. Yu Delu, a player making

:02:49. > :02:52.his presence felt among a handful of good young players. It is like a

:02:53. > :03:00.conveyor belt! There is a three-year-old playing right-handed

:03:01. > :03:03.and left handed in China now! There are so many great international

:03:04. > :03:06.players, it is a world game after also it is great to have so many

:03:07. > :03:12.from the rest of the world including China. We were glued to that in the

:03:13. > :03:16.lounge here and we are fascinated by Judd Trump's progress, going for the

:03:17. > :03:23.maximum, getting close. Do you see signs of the snooker that he has

:03:24. > :03:28.treated us to in the past? He has had no opposition today. It has been

:03:29. > :03:32.easy for him, very comfortable. You know sometimes that the guy will not

:03:33. > :03:37.beat you and he makes you relax and that is how he looked at the end. He

:03:38. > :03:41.stepped up his pace around the table which is a good sign of confidence.

:03:42. > :03:45.Particularly getting down to the next ball, they are getting nice and

:03:46. > :03:53.crisp and he looks pretty good. we were looking at his record, he is

:03:54. > :03:57.not passed the 32 in any of the major ranking tournaments, that is a

:03:58. > :04:01.big surprise. Sometimes players can lose their way a bit, they lose a

:04:02. > :04:05.close game that they think they should have won. It irks them going

:04:06. > :04:08.into the next tournament and they might get off to a bad start and

:04:09. > :04:13.then their confidence drops. He needs to put matches in a good run

:04:14. > :04:18.to get the map confidence back. White actor I chatted to him and

:04:19. > :04:22.spoke to him in Essex and he was telling me that he was tempted to go

:04:23. > :04:26.back to the way he played when he won this UK championship because you

:04:27. > :04:34.get a lot of tactical advice. It seemed to inhibit him. It sometimes

:04:35. > :04:39.inhibits you. You often don't think of the consequences but when you get

:04:40. > :04:42.punished a few times it is in there. You think about missing it and then

:04:43. > :04:48.it is natural. You have to change the way you play, you mature as a

:04:49. > :05:00.player. But for someone like Judd who is ranked four or five, to be

:05:01. > :05:04.knocked back is very poor. there will be a cup of tea at the interval

:05:05. > :05:08.and we will update you with a heck of a lot that is also going on here

:05:09. > :05:12.at the Barbican centre because out there we have got the likes of Mark

:05:13. > :05:19.Davies involved in a very long battle with Scott Donaldson, 5-4 the

:05:20. > :05:33.last we saw and now it is 5-5. Jamie Burnett, to up an Chris Wakelin?. We

:05:34. > :05:36.have got lots of main action going on in the sports hall at the back of

:05:37. > :05:44.the Barbican centre, but also John Higgins in action and last we heard

:05:45. > :05:52.from him was 4-0 up against a Liverpudlian player. Three times a

:05:53. > :06:01.winner in this event so John is moving well. And so far 4-0 and

:06:02. > :06:05.cruising. While we have Judd Trump in the dressing room having a rest,

:06:06. > :06:09.we will concentrate on events featuring a certain Jimmy White. We

:06:10. > :06:12.have been talking about his return to BBC screens after a three-year

:06:13. > :06:19.absence and he has had a maelstrom of ailments and he is bracing

:06:20. > :06:24.himself, literally so, because he has got tennis elbow and wearing an

:06:25. > :06:26.elbow brace for that! Against Stuart Bingham, the world Number Ten, this

:06:27. > :06:36.afternoon. I am falling to bits. I fell down the stairs with my bad

:06:37. > :06:40.leg. These are not excuses, by the way!

:06:41. > :06:48.# The boy with the thorn in his side. I still enjoy the buzz and

:06:49. > :06:51.competing. It gets harder as you get older and there are so many good

:06:52. > :06:56.players around but that is what I love to do.

:06:57. > :07:07.I had an operation on my foot and the analysis of it is called police

:07:08. > :07:12.man's heel and I have not been able to put my foot on the ground

:07:13. > :07:14.properly for a few years so I had an operation after the world

:07:15. > :07:17.Championships and they said it would take around six months so it is

:07:18. > :07:23.getting better every day but I do get in a bit of pain. I have put in

:07:24. > :07:28.as much notice as I can but you play for 45 minutes, an hour and I would

:07:29. > :07:38.have to sit down. I was getting to a stage where I could not play at all

:07:39. > :07:43.will -- play at all. There are a few more tournaments to go and hopefully

:07:44. > :07:49.my foot is getting better so I think I am good enough to stay on.

:07:50. > :07:56.I am hitting the good well in practice, and if I'd reduce my form

:07:57. > :08:06.against Stuart Bingham, I can beat anyone. Patsy Fagan is my coach, he

:08:07. > :08:08.won in 77 and has been a friend of mine forever, he is there to

:08:09. > :08:19.practice with me and get the balls out and be in my corner. I was not

:08:20. > :08:23.taught to play, I am natural so it still amazes me, the game and when I

:08:24. > :08:28.get it right, it is amazing what I feel I can do so while that buzz is

:08:29. > :08:37.still there, I still play. Unfortunately, I am falling to bits

:08:38. > :08:39.at the same time! I was on the next table and I was looking over and

:08:40. > :08:45.Jimmy looked like he was playing well. There are loads of kids coming

:08:46. > :08:53.through they are all good players but when it comes to experience.

:08:54. > :08:57.They are slacking in that. So I saw Jimmy was playing well the other day

:08:58. > :09:05.so it is no surprise. You can play a proper game or chess or the right

:09:06. > :09:09.moves and play a bit of safety and not so many mads shots. Hopefully I

:09:10. > :09:12.can play well like added in the first game and come through. -- like

:09:13. > :09:15.I did. HAZEL IRVINE: Stuart Ingham looking

:09:16. > :09:21.forward to that that's like the rest of us but Jimmy White admitting that

:09:22. > :09:27.he is falling to bits. What shines through is his passion and he still

:09:28. > :09:31.loves the game, like Steve Davis. To have that enthusiasm and looking

:09:32. > :09:35.forward to it. I could not play when I wanted to and the winning was the

:09:36. > :09:43.enjoyment, but they just enjoy competing. Policeman's heel, I am

:09:44. > :09:47.sure he has felt that right the way through his career, the heel of a

:09:48. > :09:53.policeman! Maybe not the first time! He is ranked 60 in the world

:09:54. > :09:57.at the moment. The pressure that the guys in that region feel for the

:09:58. > :10:02.next few months because times are changing. Yes, the top 64 stay on

:10:03. > :10:06.the tour and Jimmy is on the border there but I was speaking to him

:10:07. > :10:11.after his first round win and he said he thinks that the match may

:10:12. > :10:14.keep him on the tour so the pressure has lifted. I said you should not

:10:15. > :10:17.think about that, you should think about going out and winning a game

:10:18. > :10:23.and block out trying to stay on the tour because that can hinder you.

:10:24. > :10:26.But when you get to his age, you are thinking about that all the time. I

:10:27. > :10:30.think you will be relieved getting over the first round match. He can

:10:31. > :10:35.play with a bit more freedom but as we talked about, Stuart Bingham, one

:10:36. > :10:40.of the top players in the world can possibly be an outsider for this

:10:41. > :10:43.tournament. But he still has that belief, that is the amazing thing

:10:44. > :10:51.and it is great to see. As long as you breathe, as they say, you can

:10:52. > :11:01.believe. If you can find a bit of form, Stuart Wing might -- Stuart

:11:02. > :11:05.Ingham might feel he might get beaten. If he gets off to a good

:11:06. > :11:11.start, then it is possible. But if he gets off to a slow start it could

:11:12. > :11:16.be pressure. He has had the weight lifted off his top lip recently, he

:11:17. > :11:22.saw the moustache, he has been growing it for Movember as I am sure

:11:23. > :11:29.many of you have in doing for cancer charities. The relief this morning

:11:30. > :11:33.as they dodgy sheep -- as a dodgy soup strainer was shaven off! Years

:11:34. > :11:44.about to take to the stage, clean-shaven. Smooth as a baby's

:11:45. > :11:48.bum! Indeed you are, James. That's hope you give Stuart a bit of a

:11:49. > :11:53.close shave, today. I will not come up with any more puns. I wonder if

:11:54. > :12:00.Stuart Bingham is expecting a close match. The last few months of his

:12:01. > :12:06.career, he has been in resurgent career and the world Number Ten is

:12:07. > :12:08.expected to win this comfortably. But, stranger things have happened

:12:09. > :12:13.especially in this major championship. The best of 11 and we

:12:14. > :12:19.will join John Parrott and Dennis Taylor, probably just wiping the

:12:20. > :12:25.sweat off their brows after that final decider earlier on. Juan Mata

:12:26. > :12:36.what a pink he knocked in, Matthew Stevens. -- what a pink hue knocked

:12:37. > :12:42.in. I did not recognise Jimmy White without his moustache!

:12:43. > :12:49.Falling to bits? I don't think so. He is far from it. He loves and

:12:50. > :12:56.adores this game which he has played since he was a young boy. But he has

:12:57. > :13:19.got a tough opponent, Stuart Bingham is one of the inform players.

:13:20. > :13:29.Stuart won the toss and he breaks off and that is a pretty good length

:13:30. > :13:36.with that shot. Even with all Jimmy's experience, this is going to

:13:37. > :13:43.be quite nerve wracking for him. The Whirlwind.

:13:44. > :13:50.I think it was the Masters, the last time he played on BBC, against Mark

:13:51. > :13:54.King and he could not get going. He looked under so much pressure. Just

:13:55. > :14:01.after he came out of the jungle, believe it or not and his friends

:14:02. > :14:07.were there. He just could not get going in that Masters, but it is

:14:08. > :14:11.another day and another game of snooker. Can he not a long one in

:14:12. > :14:30.and get on the back? -- black. I watched him this morning, and his

:14:31. > :14:34.coach he mentioned there in the video tape, it looked like he was

:14:35. > :14:37.hitting them well. As you know, Dennis, it is a different thing when

:14:38. > :14:50.you are out in the auditorium. A slightly easier chance than the

:14:51. > :15:05.first one. He has to be careful with the cannon

:15:06. > :15:10.here. Has he spotted something? Something

:15:11. > :15:38.on the table between the reds here. No, that was a quick one. To miss a

:15:39. > :15:43.black off the spot, that is the last thing Jimmy wanted. Let's have a

:15:44. > :15:52.look at this correction. Not quite as smooth as we are used to seeing

:15:53. > :15:56.from Jimmy. It is tough when you haven't done it for so long to go

:15:57. > :16:02.out in these match conditions, in front of the TV cameras. Even when

:16:03. > :16:09.you have won everything apart from the world champions, it is so

:16:10. > :16:17.difficult. And it is an example of what goes first - your concentration

:16:18. > :16:20.levels. And it comes with age. He would never have missed one of

:16:21. > :16:43.those. The time it catches up with you.

:16:44. > :16:59.Is he on this red? It must be a big -- a bit tight. Just about.

:17:00. > :17:10.Not perfectly on the blue. But that looks to be is -- pretty straight. I

:17:11. > :17:12.don't know if he's got a straight angle. If he hasn't, it is the end

:17:13. > :17:36.of break. He is going to try to force an angle

:17:37. > :17:44.here, is he? And he did. That was almost straight, and if anything he

:17:45. > :18:37.has got too much into it. So just the 12 points.

:18:38. > :18:51.Not a lot of value in taking the spot on, but he might have too. --

:18:52. > :18:55.this pot on, but he might have to. He might be OK, it looks as if

:18:56. > :19:01.everything is blocked into the right corner pocket and he's covered the

:19:02. > :19:13.other one. Nothing available bad. -- there. I can't think that he will

:19:14. > :19:25.get to the blue, he will have to come off the cushion. I watched the

:19:26. > :19:33.documentary on Jimmy on Tuesday and it was fascinating, some of the old

:19:34. > :19:37.footage of his early career. Talking about the black he missed earlier,

:19:38. > :19:44.it showed one black he missed against Stephen Hendry. If Stephen

:19:45. > :19:48.Hendry hadn't been around, Jimmy would have been world champion a

:19:49. > :19:54.couple of times. He ran into Jimmy on occasions when he was just on

:19:55. > :20:04.superb form. I think the big one was when he led eight frames and Stephen

:20:05. > :20:13.Hendry 110 frames in a row. -- won ten frames. And he is still here. It

:20:14. > :20:19.is tremendous, to reach six Crucible finals. Obviously the record isn't

:20:20. > :20:25.what you would want, but to get there for six finals is some

:20:26. > :20:34.performance. He beat me in the final. The same final two years in a

:20:35. > :20:49.row, 91 and 92. I won the first, he won the second.

:20:50. > :20:58.Jimmy could have made a play from where they finished, but he knows

:20:59. > :21:22.the shot Stuart was after, there was a very thin snick required.

:21:23. > :21:32.Try number two. He's got to be so precise with this. He's done it

:21:33. > :21:43.again. He won't miss it the next time. Otherwise he will lose the

:21:44. > :22:02.frame. Three Mrs and you lose the frame. -- three misses. It has

:22:03. > :22:07.happened a few times. We had the referee just say there, you've got

:22:08. > :22:39.to hit it this time or you lose the frame.

:22:40. > :22:56.Not the best, that, really. Not easy for Stewart to play a reply with his

:22:57. > :22:59.hand on the table. -- Stuart. I have to say Stuart Bingham is probably

:23:00. > :23:04.the most improved player on the circuit for me. He's always been

:23:05. > :23:09.confident, but the way he's played the last two seasons, he's been

:23:10. > :23:18.right up there in terms of consistency and winning events. He

:23:19. > :23:25.has improved no end. A bit of a chance for Jimmy here. He was hoping

:23:26. > :23:38.to at least wobble the bread in the jaws and the pocket -- the red in

:23:39. > :23:42.the jaws of the pocket. He's just looking to see the pink is available

:23:43. > :23:51.will stop if it is not, he could play a cannon into the reds. He just

:23:52. > :24:02.had a check to see if the pink would be available.

:24:03. > :24:08.Maybe he feels he can pop a spread in the right corner and leave that

:24:09. > :24:14.think on. Coming round to have another look. He's always had a tour

:24:15. > :24:38.of fixing a good brain, Jimmy. He always sees the shot very early. --

:24:39. > :24:45.always had a good snooker brain. This looks very tight. He already

:24:46. > :24:57.thinks it's OK but there is not much margin for error there.

:24:58. > :25:13.And it was tight. He could not have gotten much closer to the red

:25:14. > :25:23.without hitting it. The wrong side of the pink. Stuart Bingham has not

:25:24. > :25:42.quite settled. He hasn't got used to the table yet.

:25:43. > :25:51.The pink spot will be freed when he pots this red. I love watching

:25:52. > :25:54.Stuart Bingham played. He's just got a lovely man around the table will

:25:55. > :26:08.stop he strikes the ball beautifully. He's made three maximum

:26:09. > :26:17.breaks. I think when he won the Australian Masters in 2011, that was

:26:18. > :26:21.a big turning point. There is usually one in your career, when you

:26:22. > :26:27.realise you are good enough to beat the best, when you've got the

:26:28. > :26:33.trophy. He has not looked back since. He's been in superb form. It

:26:34. > :26:36.took Ronnie O'Sullivan at his best to beat him last time. He's been in

:26:37. > :27:35.good nick. A clever little shop that, the way

:27:36. > :27:37.he played it. -- little shot. This is what Jimmy White has two do when

:27:38. > :28:17.the chances come, he's got to score. That more or less will secure this

:28:18. > :28:23.opening frame for Stuart Bingham. Jimmy has had a couple of chances,

:28:24. > :28:30.but it is looking for -- looking good for Stuart Bingham at the

:28:31. > :28:34.moment. Jimmy has to score a few points when his chances come. Not

:28:35. > :28:39.only for himself, but to show his opponent, if you make a mistake, I

:28:40. > :28:44.will score. But he hasn't done that in this frame. It makes it easy for

:28:45. > :28:57.your opponent if he knows that when he gets in, he can make a lot of

:28:58. > :29:00.headway. Any edge in this has gone. Stuart Bingham looked a little bit

:29:01. > :29:11.edgy at the start, and quite rightly so am playing against Jimmy. But

:29:12. > :29:17.this will settle him down and as we've said, he is one of the players

:29:18. > :29:38.in form. It will be a tough afternoon for Jimmy.

:29:39. > :29:46.He has taken these very nicely so far. A lot of fluency, he doesn't

:29:47. > :30:18.hang around, which makes them good to watch. -- him good to watch.

:30:19. > :30:35.Nicely played, he might try to nudge the blue out here as well.

:30:36. > :30:42.He is trying to do something with the cue ball but it doesn't really

:30:43. > :30:47.matter. The best possible start for Stuart Bingham, Jimmy had a few

:30:48. > :30:50.chances but in the end, it was Stuart Bingham with that break of 71

:30:51. > :31:00.that takes the opening frame. It was always going to be

:31:01. > :31:06.interesting to see how Jimmy would start this match and he had a couple

:31:07. > :31:11.of chances earlier on, a bit apprehensive but he got in first

:31:12. > :31:16.with a red and then he took his eye off the pot and was concentrating on

:31:17. > :31:23.the cannon to develop the two reds and he did not cue this one very

:31:24. > :31:28.smoothly. It was short and jabbing, his backswing. This was very tight,

:31:29. > :31:32.it looked like one you might have to play side on to straighten the pink

:31:33. > :31:39.up but the angle he played just cut the front jaw and it did not go in.

:31:40. > :31:45.Those are really important things in a match. Steve Davis said that he

:31:46. > :31:49.wanted to get a good start, when the first frame of every match. You want

:31:50. > :31:54.to show your opponent you mean business and unfortunately for

:31:55. > :32:00.Jimmy, it was not the case. He is at the table and cannot wait to get

:32:01. > :32:08.going. One of our top referees just the finishing off. Let's see if he

:32:09. > :32:35.can get a good break off shot. He can, that's pretty good. The

:32:36. > :32:41.referee just checking there to see... Stuart Bingham was looking to

:32:42. > :32:55.see if he can play a shot between the blue and the pink.

:32:56. > :33:09.It clipped the blink there. Layers will be getting used to the tables,

:33:10. > :33:15.the way the cushions are, you are the fabric slides down.

:33:16. > :33:22.REFEREE: I don't know where the pink was, was it on its spot or not? The

:33:23. > :33:28.referee is checking where the balls were. That is where they were. This

:33:29. > :33:35.is how they are now, the red handed pink is not quite right. -- the red

:33:36. > :33:37.behind the pink although it will not be that important, he will play the

:33:38. > :34:37.same shot. An excellent shot from Stuart,

:34:38. > :34:55.really is very good. He has hit that far too hard. He has

:34:56. > :35:09.put Dechawat ten three macro right in amongst

:35:10. > :35:17.them. -- it has put Stuart in right amongst them. He didn't play that

:35:18. > :35:36.smoothly. A bit of tension in that shot.

:35:37. > :35:43.He is in a situation where he is out there. Here's probably trying too

:35:44. > :35:49.hard and trying not to make elementary mistakes. And when you

:35:50. > :35:53.have an away from the scene for a while, it is so difficult to get

:35:54. > :36:10.used to it again. That's why money is Sullivan played

:36:11. > :36:12.so well to come back and win the world championship after 12 months

:36:13. > :36:20.without a competitive match, quite remarkable.

:36:21. > :36:28.-- Ronnie O'Sullivan played so well. Funny how it worked out, you get

:36:29. > :36:37.conditioned to playing in the cubicles and you get out of the

:36:38. > :36:41.habit of doing it despite laying or the auditorium is over your

:36:42. > :36:42.experience. You have to teach yourself how to cope with that

:36:43. > :36:51.situation again. Has he left Jimmy anything easy? At

:36:52. > :37:22.first glance, I don't think so. Where is the cue ball? He put

:37:23. > :37:29.everything into the pot and just forgot about the middle pocket. It

:37:30. > :37:38.has always been there. You could see him looking at it, he knew he

:37:39. > :38:06.misjudged it. And if this red goes in, it could be costly.

:38:07. > :38:15.He still might take this pot on and go for the black, it is a free shot.

:38:16. > :38:26.Not a bad effort but has he covered it? It was that good an effort, it

:38:27. > :38:34.got stuck right in the jaws and did not go away from it so it has left

:38:35. > :39:01.Stuart eight hot here. -- it has left us Stuart a pot.

:39:02. > :39:14.Well done. You must have been giving him lessons, JP. You are the best in

:39:15. > :39:19.the business when tight against the cushion. Willie Thorne would say you

:39:20. > :39:36.would not be on the cushion. Jimmy is pretty good with the rest.

:39:37. > :39:41.You would have liked to have got into the rents a little bit better.

:39:42. > :39:50.He has got a chance though. -- into the reds.

:39:51. > :39:58.That was well played, not many players better with the rest than

:39:59. > :40:02.Jimmy White. This is early but I think this is a big part of the

:40:03. > :40:08.match here, it may be a big contribution. Keep the cue ball

:40:09. > :40:37.under control. I think you might be OK. Not the one he played for.

:40:38. > :40:46.Having to do more with the cue ball. That is what can happen, he is now

:40:47. > :40:48.nearer the cushion so he has not quite got the cue ball under control

:40:49. > :41:12.at the moment. You can tell the way he is flexing

:41:13. > :41:14.his arm, he is a bit uptight, Jimmy. He keeps running slightly out of

:41:15. > :41:29.position, and it snowballs. He did not hit that one particularly

:41:30. > :41:37.well, Stuart, but scraped it into the pocket.

:41:38. > :42:13.The red in the baulk area is handy for him.

:42:14. > :42:35.The cue ball is not 100% as he wants it yet but after the shot that

:42:36. > :43:26.should be perfect. I think that kicked, I am sure he

:43:27. > :43:38.didn't hit it that badly. Let's have a look at this. Oh, dear me. The

:43:39. > :43:39.only saving grace for Stuart is that it has not let anything easy for

:43:40. > :44:43.Jimmy. I am not sure what the PTC tables

:44:44. > :44:45.play like that I am not sure if they play the same as the TV tables, they

:44:46. > :44:52.are so lively and fast. Conditions always look more

:44:53. > :45:02.difficult. What a good shot that was. It look

:45:03. > :45:07.like nothing on your screen but dutifully queued at that pace. Most

:45:08. > :45:09.people would like to hit that hard, to drop that in like that was superb

:45:10. > :45:36.cueing. He could not have hit that any

:45:37. > :45:41.better. It looks almost certain that it is going to be 2-0 will stop but

:45:42. > :45:44.it has to be said, Jimmy has had his chances. But he hasn't settled just

:45:45. > :46:30.yet. It is the best of 11 but this frame

:46:31. > :46:36.has gone and Jimmy has had his chance. He will have to get going in

:46:37. > :46:47.the next frame. He looks pretty relaxed but I'm sure inside he is a

:46:48. > :46:55.bit uptight. An unexpected miss on the black from Stuart Ingham.

:46:56. > :47:13.Surprise Inc on this, believe it or not. What a steal this would be. --

:47:14. > :47:27.surprising, this, believe it or not. He needed at least the pink and is

:47:28. > :47:34.just a bit screwed that. It's a bit awkward the cueing. One good shot

:47:35. > :47:48.away from ideal position. Brilliant. Now, can he hold himself together?

:47:49. > :47:57.What a steal this would be. It would give Stuart Bingham something to

:47:58. > :48:08.think about, because the frame was his. The black is OK for Jimmy,

:48:09. > :48:36.being a left-hander. No problem with that.

:48:37. > :48:50.He has gone a bit further than he wanted. He will have to come back

:48:51. > :48:55.across the table. He wanted to be playing it with that hand on the

:48:56. > :49:02.table. But just the black with the rest, and what a steal this would

:49:03. > :49:09.be. Well, it looked certain that Jimmy was going to hold two behind.

:49:10. > :49:19.This has given Stuart Bingham something to think about.

:49:20. > :49:23.And I bring you news from another table that the second highest seed

:49:24. > :49:29.to go out is Mark Davis, the world number 13. He is the reigning six

:49:30. > :49:40.reds world champion and has been beaten by a Scottish teenager,

:49:41. > :49:51.Scottish 16-year-old. He's already beaten maps out -- Matthew Selt.

:49:52. > :50:01.This is a huge scout. I know him, he used to play in sterling. He is from

:50:02. > :50:06.Perth, near where I live. He has improved a hell of a lot. In the

:50:07. > :50:12.last season he is really matured as a player. Mark Davies is one of the

:50:13. > :50:19.most improved players recently. Yes, a very consistent performer. I saw

:50:20. > :50:24.Scott when he came onto the tour a few years ago. You can tell you as a

:50:25. > :50:28.lot of talent, it is just finding that breakthrough. He needed a good

:50:29. > :50:35.win against a top player. That is a fantastic win. Mark Davies a

:50:36. > :50:39.semifinalist here in York last year. Did you see a real spark of talent

:50:40. > :50:46.when he was coming through the ranks? I played him and I beat him

:50:47. > :50:51.but he had a great knowledge of the table. His game was very good. He

:50:52. > :50:58.didn't score as heavy as perhaps you should have, but in the last year

:50:59. > :51:05.you just get used to being at the venues and playing the players. It's

:51:06. > :51:08.all good. He was 5-4 behind and won the last couple, so great composure

:51:09. > :51:17.from him there. I've actually had quite a lot of e-mails and texts and

:51:18. > :51:25.tweets. One of them concerns Movember. Could you tell Stephen

:51:26. > :51:33.Hendry he needs a shave? Yours is not for Movember. No, I just decided

:51:34. > :51:40.I wanted a change. I think it is rather fetching. Stephen, you are a

:51:41. > :51:43.legend, would any of you considering -- consider doing a stint in the

:51:44. > :51:53.jungle? Let's go back to Jimmy White and

:51:54. > :52:17.Stuart Ingham. -- Bingham. Well, that is a Jimmy White special

:52:18. > :52:26.there. What has that last frame done for the confidence of this very

:52:27. > :52:41.popular player? He has been for almost 30 years all over the world.

:52:42. > :52:53.Just weighing up the black spot area to see how he can do something in a

:52:54. > :53:08.couple of shots' time. That is unlucky. He is stuck right in the

:53:09. > :53:12.bunch. Very unlucky. Yes, but also I thought you might have gone in there

:53:13. > :53:18.with a bit more pace. He didn't hit back as hard as he could have. But

:53:19. > :53:25.you don't really know how it is going to come out. That last frame

:53:26. > :53:30.unsure has done him a world of good. He was looking very rocky at the

:53:31. > :53:33.time. Good to steal that frame and get one each. It should have given

:53:34. > :54:07.him a bit more confidence. Foul and a miss. It had to be thin,

:54:08. > :54:14.but that was a bit too thin. He is just looking around to see there are

:54:15. > :54:25.any reds he could plot. There is one, but he doesn't like it.

:54:26. > :54:37.There is no path down the left side of the table. We know he could hit

:54:38. > :54:40.enough of it because he missed the red altogether, so he's got to be

:54:41. > :54:48.able to see enough of it. Let's have a look. That is where it was. Not

:54:49. > :54:51.too far away. As long as you can see the edge of the red. Thumbs up from

:54:52. > :55:29.the referee. Foul and a miss. An almost identical

:55:30. > :56:05.shot and Stuart played. A decent shot from Stuart there.

:56:06. > :56:27.Obviously that shot is not available to Jimmy now.

:56:28. > :56:45.You can just hear the applause there from one of the other tables. It is

:56:46. > :56:53.open plan with four tables, the players are used to it. That is an

:56:54. > :57:02.indication that that even with all the noise, it doesn't affect Stuart

:57:03. > :57:10.Bingham. Jimmy played a slightly poor safety shop there.

:57:11. > :57:17.Nevertheless, that was dutiful cueing from Stuart. -- beautiful

:57:18. > :58:28.cueing. Just using the extension on the rest

:58:29. > :58:33.caused him to overhit that. It is an implement that is great to have, but

:58:34. > :58:39.sometimes you can lose a bit of deal. These steel block cushions are

:58:40. > :58:43.very reactive. If you hit too hard you can end up where Stuart has

:58:44. > :58:57.here. He will be disappointed he did not get a better position than this.

:58:58. > :59:02.Jimmy will be delighted to be back at the table so soon. He was

:59:03. > :59:46.expecting Stuart to knock a few more than that in.

:59:47. > :59:52.He was looking at the long straight red hair but I think he's better at

:59:53. > :59:57.the safety shot. I don't think Jimmy will mind playing a tactical until

:59:58. > :00:01.he gets in amongst the balls, rather than forcing the issue. He is

:00:02. > :00:12.looking at that hot again. That is a possibility but it needs new -- good

:00:13. > :00:18.viewing. -- cueing. It is all about playing the percentages here. You

:00:19. > :00:24.work out in your mind, what are the chances if I take this on? If it is

:00:25. > :00:27.seven out of ten, I will have a go. And it all depends how you feel on

:00:28. > :00:34.the day, whether you take it on or not. I don't particularly like that

:00:35. > :00:38.shot. I think the red above the black is the one I would be looking

:00:39. > :00:51.at. Play that nice and then, but he is tempted by that bread. -- red.

:00:52. > :00:58.Didn't he play that well? That could not have been queued better. The

:00:59. > :01:08.best shot of the match so far, no doubt.

:01:09. > :01:15.He needs to keep his concentration on the pot here.

:01:16. > :01:21.He has done exactly the same thing again.

:01:22. > :01:34.Amazing. And he put it exactly where he put the previous one, John. He

:01:35. > :01:39.just made a shop there absolutely exemplary cueing, the red before and

:01:40. > :01:42.he misses a black like that. Only strange. They are the ones that

:01:43. > :02:05.hurts when you sit in the chair. This was the first frame, he

:02:06. > :02:07.concentrated on the cannon and look where the black hit. Look at this

:02:08. > :02:32.one. Exactly the same spot. Stuart has gone a bit ragged, hasn't

:02:33. > :02:44.he? Sometimes these are a little tricky,

:02:45. > :02:50.these pops into the centre when you are so close to the object ball.

:02:51. > :03:17.He has gone too far, about a foot too far and the chance has

:03:18. > :03:24.disappeared within a matter of seconds. He could have played a

:03:25. > :03:27.cannon over into them, he played the right shot because there are a

:03:28. > :03:48.couple of reds available but he overhit it.

:03:49. > :03:53.Both players at the moment are getting chances that they are not

:03:54. > :04:52.making the most of. Not the best safety shot that Jimmy

:04:53. > :05:09.has ever played. He has left a half-chance here for Stuart.

:05:10. > :05:16.He is lucky and gets away with it. But just signs that Stuart is

:05:17. > :05:19.feeling a bit of tension out there, he is up against one of the legends

:05:20. > :05:28.of the game, expecting to be Jimmy because Jimmy has been away for so

:05:29. > :05:32.long. But there are signs that Stuart is struggling a little bit

:05:33. > :05:40.out there. And that is down to a bit of tension. But as a much better

:05:41. > :05:47.safety shot from Jimmy, that was an excellent shot.

:05:48. > :06:11.It just puts more pressure on your opponent to make the return.

:06:12. > :06:20.He can push this one on and he doesn't get it right. It is away

:06:21. > :06:26.from the cushion, if he gets the cushion first, he can push that into

:06:27. > :06:32.a position he can pot. That is what he is worried about.

:06:33. > :06:42.If he lands on its just, he might the OK but it could mean that he

:06:43. > :06:58.slips behind it. He has given Jimmy and excellent

:06:59. > :07:07.chance here. Yes, and that excellent safety shot pain dividends. -- could

:07:08. > :07:13.pay dividends. It could be an interesting match this, if Jimmy

:07:14. > :08:05.goes ahead and this is a very good chance to do just that.

:08:06. > :08:12.He didn't quite get into that as he intended. He will have to take an

:08:13. > :08:25.alternative. Should be OK. It is all about keeping it as

:08:26. > :08:36.straightforward and easy as possible.

:08:37. > :08:41.Just looking at those reds, they all seem to be blocking each other into

:08:42. > :09:00.the right corner. You can see Jimmy with a slight bit

:09:01. > :09:06.of a limp around the table. That is where he has had an operation to

:09:07. > :09:15.sort his leg out. I had never heard of it, a policeman's he'll before

:09:16. > :09:46.but he is recovering well -- a policeman's heel.

:09:47. > :10:00.of it, a policeman's he'll before but he

:10:01. > :10:11.of it, a policeman's he'll before you shots ahead. -- thinking a few

:10:12. > :10:12.shots. He could have done anything with

:10:13. > :10:31.that He could have done anything with

:10:32. > :10:41.? It is not the worst shot he has played in

:10:42. > :11:15.The red that he has got to play screw shot to keep

:11:16. > :11:19.The red that he has got to play for, if Jimmy drops the pink on, he

:11:20. > :11:36.is on that red. You are out of the scene for a while

:11:37. > :11:38.and not used to playing in the big arenas and then under these

:11:39. > :11:42.circumstances, your brain can go fuzzy at times. But that was a

:11:43. > :11:58.serious mistake that Jimmy White made there. Even this red will go.

:11:59. > :12:01.There was even a plant there. I just think he was not thinking straight

:12:02. > :12:19.but he had so many alternate shots there.

:12:20. > :12:35.It is early days in the best of 11 but that be a turning point.

:12:36. > :12:41.There is a long way to go yet, we sought Stuart Bingham did in the

:12:42. > :12:47.previous frame, missed the black off the spot. How often do you see

:12:48. > :12:57.someone miscue, jump up, hit the black and still what it? It is

:12:58. > :13:01.amazing. -- and still pot it. He played a poor shot on the red before

:13:02. > :13:03.because he was having to screw back and he could have snookered himself

:13:04. > :13:10.behind the yellow if he was not careful so he did not lay a great

:13:11. > :13:19.shot on the red but you never miscue and popped the ball as well.

:13:20. > :13:29.That was pretty good. If he pops the yellow, it will go onto the black

:13:30. > :13:32.spot but it is not a good angle on the yellow. If you roll is not a

:13:33. > :13:35.good angle on the yellow. If he rolls the yellow ink, you cannot

:13:36. > :13:40.hold it for the yellow which would be placed on the backs pot. He is

:13:41. > :13:55.only 11 in front -- on the black spot.

:13:56. > :14:02.There might submit be a gap. The only thing that Jimmy will be

:14:03. > :14:17.cutting the yellow towards the left corner pocket that there is the gap.

:14:18. > :14:38.This could be good, up behind the black. Very good.

:14:39. > :14:52.Oh, look at this for a result. What a fluke super that is. - - what a

:14:53. > :15:22.fluke snooker that is. He has got everything. He has got a

:15:23. > :15:27.miss and a free ball. He has said it is not a free ball, but the referee

:15:28. > :15:34.will put the rednecks to the yellow. If he can hit the red, it is not a

:15:35. > :15:50.free ball. - - the referee will put the red next to the yellow.

:15:51. > :15:56.Once again, another example of our wonderful sport. He turned around

:15:57. > :16:31.and said, that is not a free ball. Stuart just putted the brown with no

:16:32. > :16:39.heroics. - - potted the Brown. Not quite over the line but he has

:16:40. > :17:03.fluked a snooker again. A little wry smile there. To snooker is needed. -

:17:04. > :17:11.- Two snookers needed. The pink and the blackout in horrible positions.

:17:12. > :18:08.- - the pink and black, in horrible positions. No problem for Stewart. -

:18:09. > :18:23.- Stuart. He did that very well. See he feet putts the blow. - - see if

:18:24. > :18:38.he pots the blue. Just two snookers needed. That is not a bad effort.

:18:39. > :18:50.Can you believe it? The pink is in. Jimmy had his chances there. He did

:18:51. > :18:55.not take them. We have got to Englishman doing battle out there

:18:56. > :19:03.right now. We have had victories already for Scott Donaldson. Anthony

:19:04. > :19:09.McGill has had a victory over Christopher Norbury. He is the man

:19:10. > :19:24.who knocked out Martin Gould. The plane from Anthony McGill today.

:19:25. > :19:31.John Higgins is also through. John hasn't really been on its the last

:19:32. > :19:34.few events. I am sure he is looking for a return to some kind of form

:19:35. > :19:54.here. The good day so far. You were talking about John Higgins.

:19:55. > :20:07.Big points for him. He has such experience. He is a tough player for

:20:08. > :20:19.anybody. He just needs a bit of inspiration. It is good to see

:20:20. > :20:27.somebody like Anthony McGill who has been showing promise since he was a

:20:28. > :20:38.teenager, he seems to have been one of the coming men for a number of

:20:39. > :20:41.years. Yes, he has had some good experiences but this is time to

:20:42. > :20:49.start do well in the big events. Definitely time to. The much we are

:20:50. > :20:52.enjoying at the moment, it will be Anthony who plays either Stuart

:20:53. > :21:00.Bingham Jimmy White. Your impression so far? Because been very scrappy. -

:21:01. > :21:29.- it has been very scrappy. Great is the Anthony McGill, taken

:21:30. > :21:35.after his hero, Stephen Hendry. - - great to see Anthony McGill, with

:21:36. > :21:57.that beard, taking after his hero, Stephen Hendry.

:21:58. > :22:04.The pink is tied up. It is possible to pot the black into the far

:22:05. > :23:00.corner. He might be able to take this pot on

:23:01. > :23:08.and get back down the table. Look where it is going to finish. It is

:23:09. > :23:30.amazing. Look where the red finished.

:23:31. > :23:48.Not an ideal position on this below. -- blue. He has played that nicely.

:23:49. > :24:17.It could be a good chance. A cannon onto the red. Looking good

:24:18. > :24:21.again. It looks so easy, but you can't teach someone how to do that.

:24:22. > :24:45.You have to have a feel for the shot.

:24:46. > :25:11.But look a little bit tight. - - that looked a little bit tight.

:25:12. > :25:14.It was always a feature of Jimmy White that he used to score very

:25:15. > :26:22.quickly. This is refreshing to see. He is looking very positive all of a

:26:23. > :26:31.sudden. He has picked up the pace, Stuart Bingham. That last frame

:26:32. > :26:54.might just have been a big turning point in this match. 2-1.

:26:55. > :27:19.There is a red at the back of the pink. Stuart Bingham keep supporting

:27:20. > :27:22.ball after ball. He's one of the nicest fellows you could ever hope

:27:23. > :28:09.to meet, he really is a smashing lad.

:28:10. > :28:54.He got a little lucky there. It could've been a costly miss.

:28:55. > :29:07.He didn't even get close to that, that was all he needed. That would

:29:08. > :29:16.have secured the frame. It looks like he may have got away with it as

:29:17. > :29:19.well. If that red had gone in the centre, it would've been a great

:29:20. > :29:48.chance for Jimmy to make a counter attack.

:29:49. > :30:48.Look how they are placed. will have a go. He is a plain

:30:49. > :31:14.Look how they are placed. playing a safety. What a

:31:15. > :31:15.Look how they are placed. reply from Jimmy. He has got to be

:31:16. > :31:37.I think maybe he will come off two cushions but good luck with that.

:31:38. > :31:54.That is what he is attempting, twice a cross, get in behind the black. He

:31:55. > :31:58.could take one pink, couldn't he? Yes, it is the only leeway he has

:31:59. > :32:21.got. One thing, less blacks. This is the chance, no doubt about it.

:32:22. > :32:44.Mick Hucknall came to watch him in New Zealand. Can Jimmy roll back

:32:45. > :32:47.the years here? I don't think he is happy with the angle but he can

:32:48. > :33:13.definitely pot this. That should be fine.

:33:14. > :33:20.No problem with position for the next red, just the one further up

:33:21. > :33:27.the table on the left-hand side. He has got to get a good angle on it.

:33:28. > :33:31.If the cue ball had run up a little further he could have taken the

:33:32. > :33:33.first into the middle. When he is finished he will take the one

:33:34. > :33:36.closest to the black. It is all about position and getting back to

:33:37. > :33:53.red. Here it is, the shot that John

:33:54. > :33:59.mentioned. He that he gets it right. -- it is key that he gets it right.

:34:00. > :34:04.He is going to have to do a bit of work to get on the black, he is good

:34:05. > :34:14.to have to screw this back. Of course, he does not have to take the

:34:15. > :34:20.pink. Where it has come, the angle is not great. It is easy to get on

:34:21. > :34:26.the pink, but not sure if he can screw back. You would need a bit of

:34:27. > :34:32.reverse side to get to the black. It may have to be the pink, as you say.

:34:33. > :34:37.He has gone for the black, but he has not got into it. This is a tough

:34:38. > :34:53.shot on the black. Another slight problem is the brown

:34:54. > :34:57.so close to the yellow. He could drop the black in and play yellow

:34:58. > :35:07.but the brown next to it is going to stop him getting on the green. He

:35:08. > :35:12.has hit the front jaw again. That is three times in this opening session,

:35:13. > :35:20.where the black is at the new job. -- near jaw. He was hoping to be

:35:21. > :35:40.further away from the cushion, but disappointment. Two snookers needed.

:35:41. > :35:55.The odds are he will be 3-1 behind at the mid-session interval. He has

:35:56. > :35:59.had chances in all four frames. Stewart has had breaks of 64 and 71

:36:00. > :36:07.but that was after Jimmy had some chances.

:36:08. > :36:13.You know yourself, it becomes debilitating when you get these

:36:14. > :36:17.chances and you do not make the most of them. It is difficult to keep up

:36:18. > :36:39.your resolve. I think he was going to rule on the

:36:40. > :36:41.yellow but then thought he might not get the black into play, that is the

:36:42. > :37:22.reason he has refused the pot. Yes, Jimmy is putting his watch on

:37:23. > :37:23.even though Stuart has snookered himself. I think Jimmy has had

:37:24. > :37:54.enough of this frame. Three snookers needed. The only ball

:37:55. > :38:07.that is any good for snookering behind is the brown. It is going to

:38:08. > :38:20.be difficult. I think it is a pretty forlorn task, if you ask me.

:38:21. > :38:26.The black is in a better position. He might be able to screw the green

:38:27. > :38:31.around the ankles and cool in behind the black, it could be a good

:38:32. > :39:15.snooker. Do not want to hit the pink, though!

:39:16. > :39:33.That definitely is the end of this little mini session.

:39:34. > :39:41.It has been a little bit scrappy. Stuart Bingham has had breaks of 64

:39:42. > :39:45.and 71, Jimmy's highest was 34. As it is, Stuart Bingham at the

:39:46. > :39:49.mid-session interval leads three frames to one.

:39:50. > :40:02.Stuart Bingham's form has been looking patchy so far. He has not

:40:03. > :40:05.looked completely relaxed. He is a legend, whatever way he is playing

:40:06. > :40:11.now. It is not a comfortable situation. Jimmy looks like he is

:40:12. > :40:15.lacking composure. His cue action is very short. He is not getting

:40:16. > :40:27.through it a lot of the time. It has been scrappy but Stuart will be

:40:28. > :40:33.delighted. The guys in the ox have been stressing about Jimmy falling

:40:34. > :40:44.down the ranks, is that what happens? The dumb IQ tense up if you

:40:45. > :40:52.get older. It looks like here's missing things that normally he

:40:53. > :40:59.would hit them very confidently. -- you tense up as you get older. It

:41:00. > :41:11.was important for Jimmy to get off to a good start. Even if he had won

:41:12. > :41:16.the forth-mac frame -- the fourth frame he would be happier. He has

:41:17. > :41:20.Stewart at him a little bit. He has not capitalised on the chances that

:41:21. > :41:26.Stewart has given him and he will be disappointed. There is the weight of

:41:27. > :41:29.expectation on both of them. It can't be easy when you are an

:41:30. > :41:32.established player but you are playing someone with the stature and

:41:33. > :41:41.charisma and indeed the appeal that Jimmy has. Stuart would have been

:41:42. > :41:45.watching Jimmy when he was growing up. Stuart is one of the favourites

:41:46. > :41:56.for the tournament. His form this year is probably by far the most

:41:57. > :42:02.improved of the last five years. He is going to be fancying his chances.

:42:03. > :42:09.We are going to go back to the match we were enjoying earlier on, Judd

:42:10. > :42:14.Trump streaking ahead of Poomjaeng of Thailand. We are going to rejoin

:42:15. > :42:19.them in frame five. On Zheng is ahead by seven points later in the

:42:20. > :42:22.frame and we are in accompany of Willie Thorne and John Virgo. -- the

:42:23. > :42:40.company of. I think Judd Trump will be wanting

:42:41. > :42:53.to pot this. I do not think he is bothered about position. He can get

:42:54. > :42:57.the red tied up -- he cannot get the red behind the black. Of course if

:42:58. > :43:01.he had a nice angle he would play the cannon but it is imperative that

:43:02. > :43:25.you pot the red, it gives you the initiative.

:43:26. > :43:32.He has got the perfect angle to play the talent into the black. How is

:43:33. > :44:33.his luck? Not good. That was a good The headlines... And

:44:34. > :44:36.he will be quite happy with the outcome. -- that was a good hit and

:44:37. > :44:58.he will be happy. Another good snooker therefrom job.

:44:59. > :45:07.-- there from Judd Trump. But can he leave it safe? He has played nicely.

:45:08. > :45:15.But still, Judd Trump with the initiative in this safety exchange

:45:16. > :45:33.which could determine who wins the frame, who pots this last red.

:45:34. > :45:52.You want to be careful with these. Judd will be tempted by this. He

:45:53. > :46:19.usually takes these on. Oh! If he's on the brown, this is a

:46:20. > :46:22.frame winning chance, no doubt. I think that read, because it could be

:46:23. > :46:58.a frame winner, just got his attention. -- I think that red.

:46:59. > :47:12.Just the blue needed, but he will try to pot the pink. Poomjaeng is at

:47:13. > :47:14.the point of no return. Nothing to show so far he can make a fist of a

:47:15. > :47:30.comeback. It could go in eventually. Judd

:47:31. > :47:35.Trump won a friend there. You didn't play well there at all, but

:47:36. > :47:39.Poomjaeng could not take advantage of the mistakes. Judd Trump is just

:47:40. > :47:47.one frame away from a place in the next round. He lead 5-0.

:47:48. > :47:51.He is going to have to work his socks off to dispatch the world

:47:52. > :49:07.number four player. Anything but straight on this black

:49:08. > :49:19.would be nice. He will be very disappointed if he

:49:20. > :49:38.does not win this frame from here. Well, would you believe it? How many

:49:39. > :50:06.balls has he missed? Amazing. There is an example of his cue macro

:50:07. > :50:37.power. That was amazing. It is catching. I have never seen so

:50:38. > :50:46.many balls missed. It is amazing. At least Judd Trump can see he has got

:50:47. > :50:55.a 5-0 lead. Poomjaeng does not have that luxury.

:50:56. > :51:22.He's smiling. That is all you can do sometimes.

:51:23. > :52:24.That puts him 38 point in front. 35 remaining. A quick glance at the

:52:25. > :52:51.scoreboard. When I said pots of blue - - when I

:52:52. > :53:05.said pot the blow, I didn't expect him to get on the red. Outrageous

:53:06. > :53:16.excavation Mark - - outrageous! It looks like six -02 Judd. Indeed it

:53:17. > :53:29.was. Judd Trump entertained as is. He finish this off in some style.

:53:30. > :53:34.6-0. Goodbye to Dechawat. We hope to see him again. We can get his

:53:35. > :53:42.reaction. Well played. What did you make of your performance?

:53:43. > :53:49.It was OK. I made a few good breaks. It is hard to play someone who isn't

:53:50. > :53:55.playing that well. At times towards the end, I had a few lapses of

:53:56. > :54:00.concentration. How quickly did you get the sense that bed-macro was not

:54:01. > :54:07.in the form we saw the Crucible a few months ago? -- how quickly did

:54:08. > :54:13.you get the sense that Dechawat was not in the form we saw at the

:54:14. > :54:25.Crucible a few months ago? I knew by the time it was 3-0. If you know

:54:26. > :54:35.that your opponent is not playing well, you can take more risks. It is

:54:36. > :54:43.a lot of money up for grabs. I think me and Ronnie and definitely going

:54:44. > :54:53.to go for it this time. Frustrating towards the end. Yeah, very

:54:54. > :55:03.frustrating. Disappointing, really. I knew what I had to do. It has been

:55:04. > :55:11.a poor season so far. Have you been practising more? Not really. The

:55:12. > :55:21.format has thrown me a little bit. When you start losing, it looks

:55:22. > :55:27.worse to lose near the end. It has not been a good season. A lot of

:55:28. > :55:38.players have played well against me. Today shows how Games can go. Have

:55:39. > :55:44.you changed anything coming up to this one? I know this is a

:55:45. > :55:50.tournament that you love. Have you changed anything in terms of your

:55:51. > :55:54.practice regime or your approach? I have just tried to be a little bit

:55:55. > :55:59.more relaxed and enjoyed it. I think I was getting a bit on top of myself

:56:00. > :56:09.and trying to destroy every opponent I played. I am trying to chill out.

:56:10. > :56:16.I don't like playing in front of four tables. The deeper you go in,

:56:17. > :56:23.the fewer tables there are. We had a chat recently in Essex about going

:56:24. > :56:28.back to your natural game. Have you tried more consciously to do that,

:56:29. > :56:33.or is it still difficult to marry that balance between aggression and

:56:34. > :56:45.defence? I think that will just come with confidence. I was missing some.

:56:46. > :56:51.If I get a good win against a top name, I think it will get better.

:56:52. > :56:56.This man was the most aggressive of the lot. What would you say to Judd?

:56:57. > :57:05.You went through a phase when people were giving you advice. How did you

:57:06. > :57:08.balance? It is a natural progression as a snooker player. In the

:57:09. > :57:15.beginning, you do not think about what will happen. You always have to

:57:16. > :57:28.play a natural game. Judd always plays naturally. I would never say

:57:29. > :57:41.curbs yourself. I have always said that safety is overrated. It is good

:57:42. > :57:50.for China to have another person coming through. It is good for the

:57:51. > :57:57.game. It is going to be tough. You have to take it as it is. Thank you

:57:58. > :58:04.for coming in. Thank you. We have some other results to update you

:58:05. > :58:11.with. This is Mark Williams, former twice winner of this event. He is up

:58:12. > :58:25.against Rory McLeod. I was speaking to him earlier. Mark Williams had a

:58:26. > :58:30.good result in Rotterdam. He has been on decent form this season.

:58:31. > :58:44.Andrew Higginson, the world number 30, has been beaten by Li Hang. He's

:58:45. > :58:52.only 23 years of age. That is a good result for Li Hang. 6-4. Some other

:58:53. > :59:28.action. Two tables still underway. We will go back to table two, were

:59:29. > :59:35.Stuart Bingham and Jimmy White have resumed.

:59:36. > :59:43.It is interesting, Stephen Hendry was saying safety is overrated. That

:59:44. > :59:48.is we have had from the start of this frame. Nobody has had a go at a

:59:49. > :00:07.pot yet. Between sessions, Jimmy was

:00:08. > :00:13.backstage, popping for a coffee. He was like a little kid. He was a

:00:14. > :00:16.little bit hyper. He was looking forward to getting back out. He was

:00:17. > :00:23.a bit disappointed with what happened. He was saying he feels so

:00:24. > :00:30.strange being out there again. No matter how hard you try to keep

:00:31. > :00:36.calm, there is no substitute for being out there, is there, John? It

:00:37. > :00:59.is all a bit strange for Jimmy. This is the first possible chance of

:01:00. > :01:02.a pot. If he takes it on he will be able to bring the black into play or

:01:03. > :01:07.if he plays a natural cannon he could leave himself on the black. It

:01:08. > :01:12.will be interesting to see how he plays it. It will be interesting to

:01:13. > :01:23.pot it or cannon the red or the black. He has played well. This is

:01:24. > :01:26.the second one in this match he has played with a very controlled

:01:27. > :01:41.follow-through. Perfect cannon on the red. Excellent.

:01:42. > :01:55.That is a little beauty. It looks so easy, but so much hue power, Stuart.

:01:56. > :01:57.-- cueing power. He is moving around the table with quite a bit of

:01:58. > :02:27.confidence. He has got to be careful with his

:02:28. > :02:31.position. At the moment it is only the black that is going to pot. He

:02:32. > :02:36.has got to keep the cue ball under control. The blue is off its spot,

:02:37. > :03:03.as you can see, so it is important you keep tight cue ball control.

:03:04. > :03:26.I think it is ?55,000 for a maximum break. Judd Trump at ten or 11 reds

:03:27. > :03:32.and blacks. He had a chance. Yes, Ronnie O'Sullivan yesterday at one

:03:33. > :03:34.point looked like he was chasing the pot of gold, but it did not come

:03:35. > :03:58.off. Definitely worth winning. He can still get on the black. He

:03:59. > :04:35.has made the maximum three times, Stuart Bingham.

:04:36. > :04:53.sitting, he would have to be very precise. He needs to keep

:04:54. > :04:53.sitting, he would have to be very for a cannon very shortly because

:04:54. > :05:00.they are not ideally He needed the cue ball to

:05:01. > :05:32.mind. His main concern is to secure He needed the cue ball to

:05:33. > :06:01.baulk area. The frame is far from with

:06:02. > :06:23.baulk area. The frame is far from safe. If he misses the blue he will

:06:24. > :06:28.probably get the green on the way black. Look at the cannon on the

:06:29. > :06:36.pink. It is still going. That was a great shot. He has got a lot of

:06:37. > :06:46.action on that to cannon the pink. Would you believe it? He cued right

:06:47. > :06:51.across that one. That is the end of the chance of the maximum and the

:06:52. > :07:41.end of the chance of securing the frame.

:07:42. > :07:46.That is a long way to travel to get on the reds. He did not want to hit

:07:47. > :07:52.the black. There is nothing available into the middle pocket. He

:07:53. > :07:56.is going to have to take a tricky red to the left corner but I think

:07:57. > :08:01.there is one pottable to the right middle. That is the one. Well

:08:02. > :08:48.played. Jimmy might have to use a cannon

:08:49. > :08:52.onto the pink to hold for those reds. Not quite on the black as he

:08:53. > :09:00.intended. He will be perfect if he hits the pink full ball. He has

:09:01. > :09:04.missed the pink. He has got the red at the other end of the table but if

:09:05. > :09:16.he had cannon the pink it would be perfect. -- had a cannon on the

:09:17. > :09:20.pink. He has not settled down. If he was cueing normally he would have

:09:21. > :09:22.definitely got the cannon. It is difficult for him at the moment to

:09:23. > :09:56.settle and play his own game. They have both potted six out of six

:09:57. > :10:00.on the rest. I am glad they did not have starts when I was playing! --

:10:01. > :10:17.statistics when I was playing! He has not left anything but his

:10:18. > :10:23.expression tells you that he has left the chance slip away. Always

:10:24. > :11:02.difficult to judge the angle into a blind pocket.

:11:03. > :11:26.This could turn out OK. What a result he got. He could be in

:11:27. > :11:34.trouble after the next shot but he will settle for that. Stuart just

:11:35. > :11:46.needs a red in any colour to leave Jimmy needing a snooker. I am

:11:47. > :11:51.looking to see if there is a similar shot for Jimmy. If he can bring the

:11:52. > :12:03.cue ball back behind the black that might get Stuart into a bit of

:12:04. > :12:10.bother. Once again, jabbing cue action. He has not settled at all.

:12:11. > :12:15.Stewart would normally take this pot on the left corner but what might

:12:16. > :12:21.stop him is the white would cannon into the blue on the way back up the

:12:22. > :12:28.table. That is the reason he is contemplating which way to play the

:12:29. > :12:36.shot. If the blue was there he would play up as a shot to nothing, come

:12:37. > :12:44.round for the black. Can't really leave the white as the other end of

:12:45. > :12:47.the table because of the red, it would be pottable to the middle

:12:48. > :12:53.pocket. He might have to have a go at this will stop he hopefully does

:12:54. > :12:55.not cannon the blue. If he pots the red it does not matter if he

:12:56. > :13:25.cannons the blue. He has been thinking for one minute

:13:26. > :13:29.and 12 seconds and counting. As I mentioned, as long as he parted the

:13:30. > :13:31.red it did not matter about a cannon into the blue. He just needs the

:13:32. > :15:40.yellow so it was worth the wait. It looks very comfortable score.

:15:41. > :15:46.Jimmy White had his chance and he didn't take it. Stuart Bingham now

:15:47. > :15:52.lead 4-1. A wry smile from Stuart there.

:15:53. > :16:00.Jimmy has had chances in those frames. He has had chances. That was

:16:01. > :16:06.a difficult one. It would take on something to play almost balls. But

:16:07. > :16:12.he did have chances. Being left-handed, it was easier for him

:16:13. > :16:22.to reach, but just overcooked it slightly. He got 22 there.

:16:23. > :16:28.Disappointed with it. At that point, you can see he was frustrated. He is

:16:29. > :16:35.just not taking his game out there. He has had his chances but has not

:16:36. > :16:46.been able to convert them today. Well, it is the first of six. There

:16:47. > :16:50.is still chances. We mentioned earlier about rolling back the

:16:51. > :16:57.years, and the song by Mick Hucknall. The words were holding

:16:58. > :16:59.back the years, but never mind. We don't let the truth get in the way

:17:00. > :18:06.of a good line. If he played a safety shot, would

:18:07. > :18:14.there be a possible for ballpoint? - - four-ball plant? That has open the

:18:15. > :18:37.Reds nicely. He doesn't want to be coming into

:18:38. > :18:51.the black. That is one way of getting back up the table. He hit it

:18:52. > :19:27.too thin in the end. He is so good at this type of pot.

:19:28. > :19:34.While that is a poor shot from Jimmy.

:19:35. > :19:37.The red to the white corner is not a lot of use, because the pink and the

:19:38. > :20:12.black are tied up. Stuart played a clever little shop

:20:13. > :20:44.there. - - shot there. Not bad. He may not choose to play that

:20:45. > :20:48.black. You can see he is shaking his head. That is definitely a

:20:49. > :21:48.possibility. It is so frustrating for him. It

:21:49. > :21:55.becomes embarrassing. He does not normally miss shots like that. It is

:21:56. > :21:58.tough to tell you how we've is feeling inside. He's possibly trying

:21:59. > :22:39.a bit too hard. How was he not on a back there? - -

:22:40. > :22:49.how was he not on a thread there? I think he lost a little bit of focus.

:22:50. > :23:17.To finish there, he will be kicking himself.

:23:18. > :23:27.Good effort, but not good enough. Good example of how hard the pockets

:23:28. > :23:38.where. It may feel are from people say,

:23:39. > :23:45.those tables are easy. Honestly, these pockets are difficult. When

:23:46. > :23:52.you watch darts and look at the troubled 20, it looks quite big.

:23:53. > :23:58.When you look at it, it is small. It is essential to think with a spook

:23:59. > :24:42.attainable. - - it is the same sort of thing with a snooker table.

:24:43. > :24:58.Not totally straightforward, this break.

:24:59. > :25:47.There is a high percentage against getting this. It looked easy on that

:25:48. > :25:57.shot. Well played. He made it look easy.

:25:58. > :26:11.People will think it does not look that difficult, but when you have

:26:12. > :26:14.that distance! He is looking up at us in the commentary box and shaking

:26:15. > :26:22.his head. At least he is seeing the funny side at the minute. He is such

:26:23. > :27:04.a character. He could not play that any better.

:27:05. > :27:10.That is a perfect position now. He needs to make a frame winning

:27:11. > :27:15.contribution here. Something over 50 or 60 to say, all right, I am

:27:16. > :27:25.playing well. Give himself up bit of confidence. - - give himself a bit

:27:26. > :27:32.of confidence. It may sound as if we're being a bit biased. We always

:27:33. > :27:37.neutral in the commentary box, but I think it would want to see Jimmy put

:27:38. > :27:41.in a bit a performance and do well. - - I think everybody wants to see

:27:42. > :28:00.Jimmy put in a bit of a performance and do well.

:28:01. > :28:25.That is now his highest break of the match.

:28:26. > :29:23.He pushed red towards a corner. It was a good shot. Jimmy has got to

:29:24. > :29:38.get this absolutely spot on. He has brought the other one up over

:29:39. > :29:51.the middle pocket so the lead could disappear. It is a little bit

:29:52. > :29:55.awkward. If he can't cut that in he has got the one that I mentioned

:29:56. > :29:57.that is neither left corner. He might even head over towards the

:29:58. > :30:04.black when potting this. Where is the cue ball going to

:30:05. > :30:19.finish? That was the intention, to bring the

:30:20. > :30:24.black into play when potting the red. I do not think he can drop the

:30:25. > :30:34.green in and leave the red. He might be able to if he plays a dead

:30:35. > :30:35.weight. He doesn't want it to go in now because he has snookered

:30:36. > :30:50.himself. He is looking to see, if he comes

:30:51. > :30:58.off the commission can he get a path to the red by the pink but you have

:30:59. > :31:10.still got to be careful. -- of the commission.

:31:11. > :31:28.REFEREE: foul. A vintage Jimmy White would have put that into the corner

:31:29. > :31:36.pockets but this is a different era. I tell you what, he must be a strong

:31:37. > :31:39.favourite. Those three reds on the left-hand commission are tied up.

:31:40. > :31:46.One good clean pot on the Angles, got to be on a colour, hasn't it?

:31:47. > :32:13.Good part. -- pot. Just where you want to finish, right in the middle

:32:14. > :32:21.of both of them. Good cueing. There is a clear a path through to the

:32:22. > :32:26.pink. We showed you before, he has 100% success rate with the rest so

:32:27. > :32:36.why not take the pink on with it? Never in doubt. If they had a World

:32:37. > :32:38.Championship with the players having to use the rest for every shot,

:32:39. > :33:05.Jimmy would win every year. If he pots the pinky is 50 -- pink

:33:06. > :33:12.he is 61 in front with a possible 51 on the table. He can take the one on

:33:13. > :33:18.that is the the corner pocket just to get him back to two behind. No

:33:19. > :33:25.heroics, just drop it in dead weight.

:33:26. > :33:34.That is the first one he has missed with a rest as well. I don't know

:33:35. > :33:40.why he hated that hard. I thought he should just drop it in. If you hit

:33:41. > :33:45.the ball on the cushion at the same time you cannot miss it but these

:33:46. > :34:05.pockets are so tight you have to hit them spot on.

:34:06. > :34:18.Stuart's turn to try and put in a counterattack. He needs blacks with

:34:19. > :34:27.the last two reds and all the colours. He is planning to leave a

:34:28. > :34:29.double on this red and there is a chance of pulling the double off and

:34:30. > :34:43.getting on the black. If he has got a slight angle he can

:34:44. > :34:45.force passed the blue and be behind the final red, and he has got the

:34:46. > :35:17.angle to do that. Again, he should have played it with

:35:18. > :35:23.dead weight and he missed it. Here's the counter attack. The yellow for

:35:24. > :35:31.Stuart Bingham is not too bad. Even when Jimi played the safety shot he

:35:32. > :35:36.did not get that quite right. I am thinking way ahead, if he could get

:35:37. > :35:40.the black, yellow, green, brown. He could leave himself in a position

:35:41. > :35:46.where he could get the snooker in behind the black. That is a lot of

:35:47. > :36:13.shots ahead. It could be a distinct possibility if he does manage to get

:36:14. > :36:17.the yellow, green and brown. Just wondering if the middle pocket is

:36:18. > :36:23.slightly in the way and he will have to play it with a touch of side.

:36:24. > :36:28.Well played, and little beauty. -- and little beauty.

:36:29. > :36:37.He has brought the blue into and left the yellow one, that is

:36:38. > :36:42.amazing. That is a double whammy. One thing that was a little bit of

:36:43. > :36:44.security for him, off the cushion. It is difficult to get on the green

:36:45. > :37:19.after this. He cannot get close to the brown.

:37:20. > :37:31.Jimmy would need a respotted black. Yes, that wasn't easy. A

:37:32. > :37:36.straightforward green. You can see the disappointment. He played that

:37:37. > :37:41.with a lot of tech side. He went all out for it. -- he played that with a

:37:42. > :38:06.lot of check side. He is still in this match. It will

:38:07. > :38:13.make Jimmy feel better in himself and give him a little bit more

:38:14. > :38:17.confidence. He is not bothered about missing the blue. That was such an

:38:18. > :38:22.important frame for Jimmy White and Stuart Bingham will be disappointed

:38:23. > :38:28.at losing it, but it is for-2 to Stuart Bingham. -- it is for-2.

:38:29. > :38:38.It looked like Stuart Bingham was taking a grip on the match. He

:38:39. > :38:42.wanted it over as soon as possible. He will not be happy. Even when you

:38:43. > :38:46.are winning if you are not playing well, you are never happy. He could

:38:47. > :38:51.do every in one visit and it would give him confidence to win the

:38:52. > :39:01.match. How difficult is it for? StuartIt is quite fragmented. -- how

:39:02. > :39:08.difficult is it for Stuart? They are missing relatively simple pots for

:39:09. > :39:14.their standard. When one player misses it becomes contagious. Then,

:39:15. > :39:20.you run out of position and start missing. It builds up. As Stephen

:39:21. > :39:24.said, even though Jimmy will be happy to get the frame he will not

:39:25. > :39:31.be totally happy, because he has not performed. He is still in the match.

:39:32. > :39:37.He was looking down the barrel at 5-1. He needs to win it in one visit

:39:38. > :39:40.to get going. We have to adjust our expectations. Jimmy White has been a

:39:41. > :39:44.professional 33 years and clearly his great years were in the heydays

:39:45. > :39:48.of the 80s and 90s. Those are how we like to remember him. Do you still

:39:49. > :39:54.see moments of the flare coming through from him? I would love to

:39:55. > :39:59.say yes but it looks like he is struggling. He plays certain shots

:40:00. > :40:03.all right but his cue does not flow the way it used to. It is very short

:40:04. > :40:11.and jabbing. It does not look like he has any rhythm. I am sure he has

:40:12. > :40:16.the thoughts going through his head but he is battling on, I have got to

:40:17. > :40:21.give him credit. You beat him in for Mike World Championship finals at

:40:22. > :40:27.the Crucible. -- you beat him in four World Championship finals. Or

:40:28. > :40:38.you close to him, were you friends? He gets on with everybody. We were

:40:39. > :40:43.not close friends, but we were doing different things in those days. How

:40:44. > :40:47.do you feel when you see him battling? I have tremendous

:40:48. > :40:50.admiration that he can play For the Love Of Dogs the game and he

:40:51. > :40:53.practices more than he has ever done. -- for the love of the game

:40:54. > :41:10.will stop --. As long as you are in it you can win

:41:11. > :41:14.it. That is a pretty good safety shot from him but having said that,

:41:15. > :42:18.there is a path back down the table. Definite path down to the baulk

:42:19. > :42:22.area. Stewart is looking to play the red. You have just got to make sure

:42:23. > :42:30.you get a good cue ball and go around the back of the black. There

:42:31. > :42:36.is a chance with those shots you can put a red over the corner so he has

:42:37. > :42:41.played well, excellent cue ball. The next shot will be a test for

:42:42. > :42:49.Jimmy's viewing and eyesight. He needs a thin snake. -- snick. He

:42:50. > :43:44.played it well. Looks as if he can get through to

:43:45. > :43:59.the red. There is a natural angle to cannon the red and pink so he should

:44:00. > :44:04.head over in that direction. Not the best kiss in the world. He forced it

:44:05. > :44:13.so he would not cannon it into the reds. A bit mucky. -- unlucky. But

:44:14. > :44:24.how did he find the gap? And was about to say. -- I was about to say.

:44:25. > :44:32.It looks as if he wants to have a go. The pink is safe and the black

:44:33. > :44:37.and blue are out of commission so he might take a pot on for that

:44:38. > :44:45.reason, that the value colours are safe.

:44:46. > :44:57.How is his lock? -- lock? Not that bad. I am just wondering what sort

:44:58. > :45:05.of angle he has got. Can he get in behind the black or flick the red?

:45:06. > :45:10.That is what it is looking like. There is a chance. It is pretty

:45:11. > :45:17.tight. Up to the right-hand side of the cue ball is the problem. Can he

:45:18. > :45:31.avoid the cannon on the red but is further up? -- that his brother up.

:45:32. > :45:37.-- further up. I am just looking but I am not so sure. He is going to

:45:38. > :45:38.take the other red. Slightly more difficult but that will take him

:45:39. > :45:57.towards the green and brown. If he can keep this going for a few

:45:58. > :46:05.shots, he can bring their pink interplay. -- into play. Not from

:46:06. > :46:47.there, though. Yes, it wasn't a brilliant chance,

:46:48. > :47:18.bats. It is a tough ask to keep potting reds.

:47:19. > :47:42.That White was always going to be close to the pocket. But not too

:47:43. > :48:16.serious. Is there any value? He's having a look around.

:48:17. > :48:34.There is a possibility, with this red.

:48:35. > :48:42.It will be a great shot if he pulls it off. Pulled it off he certainly

:48:43. > :49:33.did. That really was the best shot of the

:49:34. > :49:44.match. They just don't come any better than

:49:45. > :51:50.that. If you are going to take that shot,

:51:51. > :52:03.you have to get down and do it straightaway. It all came from that

:52:04. > :52:17.shot selection. Should have come from the canon.

:52:18. > :53:23.He has to give this a bit of care and attention.

:53:24. > :53:41.At first look from here in the commentary box, that looks like

:53:42. > :53:51.trouble. I suppose he could play to drop a

:53:52. > :54:22.red on the top cushion. If he just wrote to that and didn't

:54:23. > :54:26.get a double case, everything would be pretty safe. -- if he just rolled

:54:27. > :56:30.to that. There is the pot. There was an

:56:31. > :56:34.element of safety attached to that. Still quite a complicated frame,

:56:35. > :57:30.this. It is going to go on for quite a while.

:57:31. > :57:39.There, I am afraid, we must leave this match. It does continue on the

:57:40. > :57:44.red button online. Before we go, let me update you with events in the

:57:45. > :58:09.sports hall. We have two final frame decider is. It has been a wander

:58:10. > :58:18.down memory lane. Have you enjoyed seeing Jimmy there? Yes. Yes, hope

:58:19. > :58:22.you can make a much of it. Thank you for your company. I will remind you

:58:23. > :58:33.what else we have. I will be back with the highlights programme

:58:34. > :58:46.11:30pm. We have got James Wattana. He takes on Ginger one way. -- he

:58:47. > :58:52.takes on Ding Junhui. So much to look forward to. Coverage of those

:58:53. > :58:54.matches online as well. Catch you later. Goodbye for now.
