:00:39. > :00:42.Welcome to snooker extra. Tonight we are concentrating on the
:00:42. > :00:49.concluding session of the first round match between the pit doesn't
:00:49. > :00:59.54 champion Shaun Murphy and Jamie Jones. Shaun Murphy held a narrow

:01:23. > :01:30.Jimmy Jones is in. 5-4 behind. Two centuries in the match. A good few
:01:30. > :01:40.tough of frames. A lot of safety play. Looking forward to the
:01:40. > :01:43.
:01:43. > :01:53.conclusion of the match. Nicely balanced. Shaun Murphy is slightly
:01:53. > :02:13.
:02:13. > :02:19.ahead. A good performance from He doesn't cue like most people. If
:02:19. > :02:29.he plays for the years have cute like that. That's Mac cued like
:02:29. > :02:55.
:02:55. > :03:05.A lot of good potters have been He is contemplating this red. He
:03:05. > :03:08.
:03:08. > :03:18.came around to have a look at where There is a big target behind the
:03:18. > :03:37.
:03:37. > :03:44.It is not the best safety shot he If this red was right in the jaws
:03:44. > :03:49.of the Polish it would be straightforward. The fact that it
:03:49. > :03:53.is about an inch or two away from the pocket makes it more difficult.
:03:53. > :04:03.He's had take a look to see if he can come off the cushion and clip
:04:03. > :04:27.
:04:27. > :04:37.He's going to play the plant. A big target. Let us have a look at
:04:37. > :04:48.
:04:48. > :04:58.it again. Missed the red can be be. If this pink goes into the left
:04:58. > :05:08.
:05:08. > :05:18.centre it is not a bad result. It There you see it does. It has
:05:18. > :05:26.
:05:26. > :05:36.worked out a treat for Shaun Murphy. But does have a look at the shocked

:05:36. > :06:31.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 54 seconds
:06:31. > :06:38.again. He tried to bring more reds That was a nice pot. He has a
:06:38. > :06:48.choice of pink or black. He would love to have the black back on its
:06:48. > :06:51.
:06:51. > :06:54.spot. Is not a difficult pot. The pink is a little bit easier. He
:06:54. > :07:04.certainly but later it the black back on its spot as quickly as
:07:04. > :07:28.
:07:28. > :07:38.A lovely spread. A practice routine these players would have been
:07:38. > :07:46.
:07:46. > :07:56.practising in the practice room. It is all about cue ball control.
:07:56. > :08:20.
:08:20. > :08:30.Shaun will be looking for a good run. He has got to the final of the
:08:30. > :08:30.
:08:30. > :09:17.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 54 seconds
:09:17. > :09:22.Masters. He went out early. He is He is one of the top players in the
:09:22. > :09:31.game now. He is one of those players who you expect to be at the
:09:31. > :09:41.business end of most events. He has not had his best season. He would
:09:41. > :09:46.
:09:46. > :09:56.expect him to win at least a couple He was the winner here in 2005. He
:09:56. > :10:09.
:10:09. > :10:19.He is one of those players that possesses a wonderful cue action.
:10:19. > :10:20.
:10:20. > :10:30.It is very smooth. And it's a great reaction of the cue ball.
:10:30. > :10:41.
:10:41. > :10:51.delivery is very positive. He can He should have won more tournaments
:10:51. > :10:57.
:10:57. > :11:07.in his career since his break Jamie is sitting out after that
:11:07. > :11:13.
:11:13. > :11:23.If he wins this frame it will be the first time he has had a two
:11:23. > :11:28.
:11:28. > :11:38.frame gap. It could be quite 65 ahead. 67 on the table. Black
:11:38. > :12:12.
:12:12. > :12:19.A good pot. The pack -- the fact that it did not given to the middle
:12:19. > :12:29.of the pocket is why he has lost the cue ball's flight beat. -- the
:12:29. > :12:29.
:12:29. > :13:20.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 54 seconds
:13:20. > :13:30.He misses the pink but that is Below it looks his choice. --
:13:30. > :13:39.He needs an angle than this red the people play for the black at this
:13:39. > :13:49.stage. He has got a bit of angle. The pink is off the centre. It
:13:49. > :14:14.
:14:14. > :14:24.He stayed down quite long after hitting the ball. It is not a bad
:14:24. > :14:31.
:14:31. > :14:39.It's more this guarantees that will It really is impressive when he
:14:39. > :14:49.gets going. He set up a nice opportunity for himself. A couple
:14:49. > :15:05.
:15:05. > :15:09.He will try and take the red. The The red just to the right goes into
:15:09. > :15:19.is that hand corner pocket. He does not have to worry about splitting
:15:19. > :15:52.
:15:52. > :16:01.One. He does with the cue ball well. It is a big advantage. It gives him
:16:01. > :16:11.more shots available. It is not about hitting the ball hard it is
:16:11. > :16:21.
:16:21. > :16:31.He needs a good connection here potting the blue. He does not have
:16:31. > :16:41.
:16:42. > :16:51.The resort the chance when you hit the reds that hard that that sum
:16:52. > :16:59.
:16:59. > :17:09.He has got a 39 point lead. He will try and get on the pink and bring
:17:09. > :17:09.
:17:09. > :18:06.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 54 seconds
:18:06. > :18:16.A pot but not a good position on A disappointing shot. A huge gap
:18:16. > :18:27.
:18:27. > :18:37.He has given it plenty of time. You cannot get down quickly in
:18:37. > :18:38.
:18:38. > :18:48.A little bit lucky. Some would say he deserved it up to such a good
:18:48. > :18:48.
:18:48. > :20:27.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 54 seconds
:20:28. > :20:37.It will only just reached the He did a look as if it would be a
:20:38. > :21:01.
:21:01. > :21:11.big break. But he has made it. He A chance of his second century of
:21:11. > :21:11.
:21:11. > :22:03.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 54 seconds
:22:03. > :22:06.He may play for the black here. He Very impressive. We mentioned
:22:06. > :22:11.earlier on in this match that we expected him to win more
:22:11. > :22:21.tournaments over the years. This is the reason why. He's very
:22:21. > :22:21.
:22:21. > :23:04.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 54 seconds
:23:04. > :23:14.He did not have that red for long. He needs some good form at the
:23:14. > :23:17.
:23:17. > :23:27.moment. Shaun Murphy is looking in dominant form. He has been here so
:23:27. > :23:27.
:23:27. > :24:09.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 54 seconds
:24:09. > :24:19.many times before. It is Jamie A misjudgment there. He caught it
:24:19. > :24:27.
:24:27. > :24:37.What is he looking at a? It looks as though they raised one on in the
:24:37. > :25:00.
:25:00. > :25:10.He is pretty straight on this blue. He will just try and drop it in or
:25:10. > :25:32.
:25:33. > :25:42.That was a good shot. A bit of pressure on it. He be had missed it
:25:43. > :26:14.
:26:14. > :26:19.Certainly unexpected. The pink into Jamie Jones tried to get on the
:26:19. > :26:25.pink and bring it back on the table. I'm not quite sure it was the right
:26:25. > :26:35.choice of shot. It looks like the two reds in the pink spot would
:26:35. > :26:44.
:26:44. > :26:54.have tied up the pink. The fact It looks a very strange from an
:26:54. > :27:21.
:27:21. > :27:31.I can see why he is not rolling up, because it is quite an easy escape.
:27:31. > :27:31.
:27:31. > :27:41.How well did he hit it that one? That is a superb shot. Yes, a great
:27:41. > :27:50.
:27:50. > :27:57.shot. APPLAUSE. We would love to get those Reds away from the pink,
:27:57. > :28:07.but because the black is also tied up, you have to try to get the pink
:28:07. > :28:12.
:28:12. > :28:22.back up to the end -- to this end off the table. Fails to do it on
:28:22. > :28:32.
:28:32. > :28:39.that occasion, but he also has the red at the right middle. APPLAUSE.
:28:39. > :28:48.I am not sure that he looked at that red that is on the pink spot.
:28:48. > :28:58.He will not be able to win this frame with the blues. A well, he
:28:58. > :29:00.
:29:00. > :29:10.could do, but it could taking a long time as well. -- it could take
:29:10. > :29:22.
:29:22. > :29:32.him a long time. It just makes the break so much more difficult if you
:29:32. > :29:33.
:29:33. > :29:41.do not have the pink and black in their spots. He has to work hard
:29:41. > :29:51.for these points. An ideal position in the bottom right-hand corner
:29:51. > :30:24.
:30:24. > :30:34.pocket. E it will be interesting to this pink. Does he tie it up or
:30:34. > :30:44.will it be available? APPLAUSE. think it goes into the bottom right
:30:44. > :30:56.
:30:57. > :31:03.corner pocket. That is quite tight - it goes p - it goes ped, but he
:31:03. > :31:10.would like it to be a bit straighter. Very good. Showing a
:31:10. > :31:20.bit of courage already in this match. He looks as if he could go a
:31:20. > :31:20.
:31:20. > :32:04.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 54 seconds
:32:04. > :32:14.few frames behind. Shaun Murphy overran the cue ball, wanted to be
:32:14. > :32:28.
:32:28. > :32:33.straighter, just below the pink. Straighter on the red. This has
:32:33. > :32:43.been quite good, a little bit unorthodox, but he has potted that
:32:43. > :32:59.
:32:59. > :33:02.very well. Excellent shot. Eight perfect angle. APPLAUSE. This will
:33:02. > :33:12.certainly making still good, because it has been an impressive
:33:12. > :33:22.break. Red and pink will be enough to leave the Shaun Murphy leading
:33:22. > :33:22.
:33:22. > :34:35.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 54 seconds
:34:35. > :34:42.the snooker. APPLAUSE. Has missed the pink. That is enough with an
:34:42. > :34:51.excellent break of 68 for Jamie Jones. He has close the gap once
:34:51. > :35:01.again to one, but it is still Shaun Murphy who leads seven frames to
:35:01. > :35:10.
:35:10. > :35:20.six. Jamie Jones getting the final session underway. APPLAUSE. He may
:35:20. > :35:30.
:35:30. > :35:40.be disappointed at being 7-6 in front. The difference in these
:35:40. > :36:07.
:36:07. > :36:12.longer matches is that there is a possible six frames. And players
:36:12. > :36:20.have gone for their interval. A bit of crowd movement, which you always
:36:20. > :36:30.get at the Crucible. It is not good when you are looking to war the
:36:30. > :36:40.crowd. That can put you off. It is tight here as well. So close to the
:36:40. > :36:42.
:36:42. > :36:52.great at miss here that the Crucible gives us. -- the great
:36:52. > :36:56.
:36:56. > :37:06.atmosphere. That is always tricky when the balls are so close
:37:06. > :37:07.
:37:07. > :37:17.together. Sometimes you have to push the ball. His choice of tomb'
:37:17. > :37:29.
:37:29. > :37:35.Reds. -- two Reds. He would love to see that red again. Blocking the
:37:35. > :37:45.path of the black in the left-hand corner pocket. Trying to keep the
:37:45. > :38:04.
:38:04. > :38:12.black Open at the birth pockets. -- both pockets. He has asked for the
:38:12. > :38:22.cue ball to be cleaned. I am not quite sure whether he got a kick.
:38:22. > :38:36.
:38:36. > :38:40.Heavy contact. He does night like that middle pocket. He missed the
:38:40. > :38:50.pink in the last round and it cost him. -- does not like that middle
:38:50. > :39:18.
:39:18. > :39:22.pocket. APPLAUSE. That could have been better. Shaun Murphy would
:39:22. > :39:29.have been cursing his luck with the bad contact he had on the red in
:39:29. > :39:36.his last position. It will be worth it if this brown goes in. Jenny
:39:37. > :39:46.Jones pocketed a spectacular brown in the previous round. The choice
:39:47. > :39:50.
:39:50. > :40:00.of a couple of Reds in this circle. The red just write off the pink, to
:40:00. > :40:02.
:40:02. > :40:12.left centre, is still on. -- just to the right of the pink. A similar
:40:12. > :40:19.
:40:19. > :40:26.shot to what Shaun Murphy had on the other side. Just could not get
:40:26. > :40:36.comfortable on that shot, Terry. He was showing a lot of that cue from
:40:36. > :40:44.
:40:44. > :40:54.his bridge hand. -- throwing. It sometimes takes the cue off line.
:40:54. > :41:15.
:41:15. > :41:22.Let's have a look at that. I have be left the circle up in the same
:41:22. > :41:26.position for Shaun Murphy. He tried to disturb the Reds, but, he had a
:41:26. > :41:36.good angle on the green and you would expect him to hit that,
:41:36. > :41:57.
:41:57. > :42:04.because it is a big target. APPLAUSE. That is a bonus. Having a
:42:04. > :42:14.good look at this green. It looks like the brown into that corner
:42:14. > :42:25.
:42:25. > :42:35.pocket. He still has the yellow, but that he is more difficult.
:42:35. > :42:38.
:42:38. > :42:48.APPLAUSE. The two chances Shaun Murphy has had in this frame and he
:42:48. > :43:03.
:43:03. > :43:13.has not made the most of them. Pace is so important in these shots.
:43:13. > :43:23.
:43:23. > :43:32.Where, what can you say about that one? APPLAUSE. Perfect. They have
:43:32. > :43:37.not left Shaun Murphy safety. No other choice. The last thing you
:43:37. > :43:47.want to do here is to leave a twitching ball for your opponent,
:43:47. > :43:49.
:43:49. > :43:58.Terry. Well, you saw that red just roll back there on to the cue ball.
:43:58. > :44:05.No touching ball has been called, so... i played in a match as an
:44:05. > :44:13.amateur and the referee in Dublin - the balls war quite close together
:44:13. > :44:19.and he called, not touching, would you believe it. I only heard the
:44:20. > :44:28.word, touching, and I played away. That is the only time I have heard
:44:28. > :44:33.a referee call that. The referee, of course, has to declared a
:44:33. > :44:43.touching ball. You cannot make that decision yourself - like all
:44:43. > :44:46.
:44:46. > :44:56.decisions out there. His there a red? It is half a chance. No, not
:44:56. > :45:06.
:45:06. > :45:12.quite. He could not quite get to the red he is close to now - to the
:45:12. > :45:22.potting angle on it. He can see most of it, but not enough to pot
:45:22. > :45:29.
:45:29. > :45:33.it. Not touching, the referee said than. Ha. ha ha. We are blessed
:45:33. > :45:41.with a lot of a very efficient referees these days. It was not
:45:41. > :45:44.always like that. When you played in the local league, the referee
:45:44. > :45:54.was one of the players in the team - normally the best fighter that
:45:54. > :45:58.won the match. He is looking for a way out here. Neither player would
:45:59. > :46:06.like this type of safety bout, because there is no advantage for
:46:06. > :46:16.either of them. He has to be very careful. He said, he may have to
:46:16. > :46:26.catch this. Audience laughter. has to bounce the cue ball. He has
:46:26. > :46:27.
:46:27. > :46:36.played that very well. APPLAUSE.. An excellent shot. He could not
:46:36. > :46:43.have played that much better. it is nice to bring the audience
:46:43. > :46:47.into the game, I think it breaks the quiet spell for them. The only
:46:47. > :46:52.trouble is in the Crucible, if they are all laughing and the other
:46:52. > :46:57.table is on, it can disturb the other players. Some players have
:46:57. > :47:07.complained about that. Many players complain about anything and
:47:07. > :47:41.
:47:41. > :47:51.everything these days. The outside red does go down into the bottom
:47:51. > :47:56.
:47:56. > :48:06.left pocket. Well, look at that. Has he covered that red or not? He
:48:06. > :48:28.
:48:28. > :48:34.to --. One thing he had to do is get past the wine. Three colours. A
:48:34. > :48:41.very thin cut on the yellow. In the previous frame he took an
:48:41. > :48:47.aggressive brown into the middle, got it, won the frame from it. He
:48:47. > :48:54.is taking an aggressive approach here. Should he get it, this will
:48:54. > :49:03.provide it dividends. A APPLAUSE. It is there. That is the cue ball.
:49:03. > :49:12.Not too bad. An excellent shot. He has a perfect angle on the red. He
:49:12. > :49:17.can knock the red away from the black and bring the red into play.
:49:17. > :49:27.Just move the red, just to the right of the black. Well done.
:49:27. > :49:34.
:49:34. > :49:44.APPLAUSE. That really opens things up now. An excellent opportunity
:49:44. > :49:44.
:49:44. > :50:28.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 54 seconds
:50:28. > :50:38.now to level the match. He does not want to be too straight on this
:50:38. > :50:39.
:50:40. > :50:49.black. Just overscrewed it, a little bit of adrenalin. He has to
:50:50. > :50:58.
:50:58. > :51:03.run this cue ball off two cushions now. No, that is poor. Just trying
:51:03. > :51:11.to get a clip on those two Reds which were quite close together. He
:51:11. > :51:21.will be very disappointed. Just trying to clip that red. It was an
:51:21. > :51:53.
:51:53. > :51:59.Jamie Jones, when he plays top-spin, is stick is not that high. He just
:51:59. > :52:07.loses that little bit of momentum. Like a lot of players these days, a
:52:07. > :52:17.bit lower down with the tip. If the top-spin was quicker, he would have
:52:17. > :52:40.
:52:40. > :52:47.made the cannon into those two Reds. They look great when they go in.
:52:47. > :52:53.But when you miss them you leave yourself open to criticism. High
:52:53. > :53:03.risk. You are only going to cannon into the second red and take the
:53:03. > :53:14.
:53:14. > :53:23.cue ball down the table. Not an easy red, this one. This was not
:53:23. > :53:28.easy, into a blind pocket. Shaun Murphy will be devastated - not
:53:28. > :53:38.just missing, but leaving the red on. He got away with it, Shaun
:53:38. > :53:43.
:53:43. > :53:53.Murphy. That could have been a lot easier for Jamie Jones. Again, he
:53:53. > :54:02.has lost the cue ball. Played a couple of a very loose positional
:54:02. > :54:09.shots today. And here is another one. A couple of frames ago we saw
:54:09. > :54:19.how he overran a cue ball on the cushion. It cost him. The end of
:54:19. > :54:20.
:54:20. > :54:27.the break. I'm just wondering, Ken, if in the previous frame when Jamie
:54:27. > :54:32.Jones made a lovely 68. It puts a seed of doubt in the mind of Shaun
:54:32. > :54:40.Murphy if he will win this match. In this frame he has played a few
:54:40. > :54:43.poor shot, when you would expect him to push on. Another one.
:54:43. > :54:53.Certainly getting a little bit nervous out there for both players
:54:53. > :55:18.

:56:33. > :56:40.that it did not reach. I am not quite sure whether he even tried it
:56:40. > :56:50.in there or just tried to go up again. APPLAUSE. If he tried to

:56:53. > :56:58.track the cue ball,... The only problem for Shaun Murphy is he does
:56:58. > :57:05.not want to bring this red closer to the cushion. Bringing it to the
:57:05. > :57:15.left-hand side off the table if possible. He has to be careful

:02:59. > :03:04.Jamie Jones has stood up to everything that Shaun Murphy has

:03:31. > :03:39.been playing in Welsh junior events when you could only just see over

:11:23. > :11:33.back into the baulk area. He could have played it on to the black

:16:16. > :16:21.What a wall of the ball. This would have been straight forward for
:16:21. > :16:26.Shaun Murphy. It is not difficult to hit, but the problem is not

:24:08. > :24:15.put a touch of stun on to hold for the black. It would have been a

:25:48. > :25:51.
:25:51. > :25:59.in the qualifiers. I think it was 10-2. Yes, an emphatic win against
:25:59. > :26:09.a former top 16 player. You only need one final. It is just that
:26:09. > :26:24.
:26:24. > :26:34.hope that to get a good chance. The red is closest to in the pink
:26:34. > :26:54.
:26:54. > :27:00.spot. That would be his next truce That was an excellent shot. He has
:27:00. > :27:09.got a perfect angle on the blue. There is one loose red. It must go
:27:09. > :27:19.into the bunch for the blue. He doesn't have it too hard. Just a
:27:19. > :27:29.little bit of pace. It just went into the side and he hit it for one.
:27:29. > :27:47.
:27:47. > :27:57.It's not to bat. It is wanted to Shaun Murphy, Terry, will be
:27:57. > :28:06.
:28:06. > :28:16.fearing the worst as he sits in his chair. The only thing in his favour
:28:16. > :28:21.
:28:21. > :28:26.is that he had a 46 point lead. Just a little bit to do. He red
:28:26. > :28:36.left to get on off this black. If there is anything easy at this
:28:36. > :28:36.
:28:36. > :28:46.stage. Everything magnified at this stage. The pressure, the degree of
:28:46. > :28:47.
:28:47. > :28:54.difficulty. The disappointment if you do not make the shot. Try and
:28:54. > :29:04.get low on the black here now. The red has a nice angle. That looks
:29:04. > :29:05.
:29:05. > :29:14.pretty good. Now, just one good split he for Jamie Jones. APPLAUSE.
:29:14. > :29:24.Must be on a red, and that looks just about perfect. APPLAUSE.

:30:20. > :30:29.took a long time on that shot. He was down to long, made the shot to
:30:29. > :30:39.important. If I get to this, I could win the match - that is what
:30:39. > :30:40.
:30:40. > :30:50.that shows. Somebody who has not been here before trying to beat a
:30:50. > :31:04.
:31:04. > :31:14.former world champion. That will certainly give a Shaun Murphy a bit
:31:14. > :31:21.
:31:21. > :31:31.of confidence. How much world Jenny chance live to regret that meets? -
:31:31. > :31:33.
:31:33. > :31:43.- we all are Jamie Jones lived to regret that do you. How much will
:31:43. > :31:43.
:31:43. > :31:53.Jenny Jones leave to do you regret that missed ball? Brown and blue
:31:53. > :31:59.
:31:59. > :32:05.required. Just a few moments ago Jamie thought he was in the next
:32:05. > :32:15.round. Shaun Murphy thought he was on the way home. This match is well
:32:15. > :32:21.
:32:21. > :32:31.and truly still alive. There goes the pink. APPLAUSE. And Shaun
:32:31. > :32:38.

:32:48. > :33:03.
:33:03. > :33:13.Jones breaks off. Still a little bit disappointed, alright. He will
:33:13. > :33:16.
:33:16. > :33:22.be OK, Jamie Jones. He is a tough cookie, I can tell you. APPLAUSE.
:33:22. > :33:32.It is so difficult out there when you are one frame away from victory.
:33:32. > :33:35.
:33:35. > :33:41.You can sense it on every shot. How many have fallen here, Ken? The
:33:41. > :33:51.words in the mind - I should win from here. I think we have both
:33:51. > :34:10.
:34:10. > :34:20.done that, Terry, a few times. I think everybody has. APPLAUSE.
:34:20. > :34:21.
:34:21. > :34:26.has to clear his mind. He played a good defence in safety. Ford Jamie
:34:26. > :34:36.Jones, a few safety darts, a good five minutes just to settle him
:34:36. > :34:59.
:34:59. > :35:03.down. -- safety bouts. A's! -- APPLAUSE. Even those these shots
:35:03. > :35:09.can be unsettling under pressure, he has not left anything, just
:35:09. > :35:17.maybe hit it too thin or too hard, or maybe both. It has just given
:35:17. > :35:27.Shaun Murphy a better chance of a more difficult safety to play. He
:35:27. > :35:41.
:35:41. > :35:51.has certainly done that. You are looking at the red to the left of
:35:51. > :35:57.
:35:57. > :36:02.the pink, possibly. For one lower down toward the back cushion. --.
:36:02. > :36:12.Things are going wrong. How is his luck? What a difference that can
:36:12. > :36:22.make. Shaun Murphy could have seen that red as a nice, easy start. Is
:36:22. > :36:25.
:36:25. > :36:35.got momentum now. APPLAUSE. Is got a second red. -- he has got a
:36:35. > :36:42.
:36:42. > :36:52.second breath. APPLAUSE. Excellent. Let's have a look at this again.
:36:52. > :36:52.
:36:52. > :38:16.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 54 seconds
:38:16. > :38:26.Watch the reaction on the cue ball. will be very unlucky if he is not
:38:26. > :38:27.
:38:27. > :38:36.on this black. APPLAUSE. It looks like if he wants to pot the black
:38:36. > :38:42.he will have to swerve it. APPLAUSE.!! The very unfortunate,
:38:42. > :38:52.there. He took the aggressive approach, and tried to move the red
:38:52. > :38:54.
:38:54. > :39:04.off the black spot. That was not working. Howard Ding Junhui just

:40:08. > :40:10.
:40:10. > :40:20.APPLAUSE. Jenny Jones took a difficult red on and he was trapped.
:40:20. > :40:20.
:40:20. > :40:30.The balls go where they want to go. -- Jamie Jones. It was very
:40:30. > :40:34.
:40:34. > :40:44.unfortunate, wasn't it? An excellent pot. Very unlucky not to
:40:44. > :40:58.
:40:58. > :41:02.be on the black there. APPLAUSE. That was pretty good. It looks like
:41:02. > :41:12.he has Shaun Murphy inane lot of trouble here. Cover the Reds on the
:41:12. > :41:30.
:41:30. > :41:40.left-hand side off the table. Can he just come off the side cushion
:41:40. > :41:53.
:41:53. > :41:57.and maybe Nestle into this pack of Reds. It looks a bit hard. Quite a
:41:57. > :42:03.good shot from Shaun Murphy, because he got quite close to
:42:03. > :42:13.hitting the pink. He could not come off the edge of the Reds, because
:42:13. > :42:44.
:42:44. > :42:50.he would have put them in the middle. APPLAUSE. Is has been a
:42:50. > :42:57.great match. There is more to come, but it is the perfect blend. Top
:42:57. > :43:07.seeds and world to champions against the newcomer Jenny Jones. -
:43:07. > :43:17.
:43:17. > :43:27.- Jenny duck. Quite a bit of risk involved. If he could take the blue
:43:27. > :43:47.
:43:47. > :43:57.full on, the shot would have been a lot easier. APPLAUSE. Just before
:43:57. > :44:10.
:44:10. > :44:20.the cue ball hits the red, the spin goes off. Points for Jenny Jones. -
:44:20. > :44:35.
:44:35. > :44:45.- Jamie Jones. He has a couple of Reds to go out here before he
:44:45. > :44:51.
:44:51. > :45:00.contemplate so going into break some. The red to the extreme right
:45:00. > :45:10.pots into this bottom left-hand corner pocket. If he leaves a
:45:10. > :45:19.little angle, it looks like he may have, he may be able to just brush
:45:19. > :45:27.off the Reds on the way up for... He is looking to see, can he hold
:45:27. > :45:37.it? He may be able to hold it for the pink. I am with you, Ken. I
:45:37. > :45:40.
:45:40. > :45:50.think he should move the red if he can. Could not have wished for
:45:50. > :46:10.
:46:11. > :46:20.better. Really well. APPLAUSE. was very unlucky. He played it the
:46:21. > :46:22.
:46:22. > :46:27.black very positive. I like that. He has not made too much of me live
:46:27. > :46:37.it. He just looked at the balls, walks away and this is the safety
:46:37. > :46:51.
:46:51. > :47:01.shot he has to play now. APPLAUSE. He had a feeling that a good case
:47:01. > :47:20.
:47:20. > :47:30.on those Reds in this match was done and dusted. That is very well
:47:30. > :47:33.
:47:33. > :47:43.played. APPLAUSE. He saw Jamie Jones tapping his cue on the table
:47:43. > :47:43.
:47:44. > :47:53.in appreciation. An excellent Return of safety from Shaun Murphy.
