:00:22. > :00:26.cushion. Anywhere but straight on this pink should be OK. He does not
:00:26. > :00:31.want to be straight because he will not be able to get close to the
:00:31. > :00:39.black. I think he is straight and now he cannot get as close to the
:00:39. > :00:49.black as he was previously. He is looking at possibly screwing back
:00:49. > :00:56.
:00:56. > :01:06.and leaving the double. That may be his only choice. Everybody likes
:01:06. > :01:13.
:01:13. > :01:23.the black ball. (CHEERING AND APPLAUSE). Jamie Jones must be
:01:23. > :01:27.
:01:27. > :01:31.absolutely delighted. Come Jamie Jones finishes off the session in
:01:31. > :01:41.style. After those performances from Judd Trump and Matthew Stevens,
:01:41. > :01:45.
:01:45. > :01:55.it has been a good day for the Welsh contingent. We will be back

:03:40. > :03:50.we bring you the second session of the second round match between Ali
:03:50. > :03:51.
:03:51. > :04:01.Carter and Judd Trump. Carter led Carter and Judd Trump. Carter led
:04:01. > :04:07.
:04:07. > :04:11.by 5-3 after the opening session. These two young players are both
:04:11. > :04:21.title contenders this year. Ali Carter is back in good health and
:04:21. > :04:25.
:04:25. > :04:35.playing one of -- wonderful snooker. Judd Trump, well we know what he
:04:35. > :04:35.
:04:35. > :05:31.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 101 seconds
:05:31. > :05:41.APPLAUSE He might be thinking about taking the pot on here. You just
:05:41. > :05:51.know that Judd Trump will take tea pot on nine times out of ten. It is
:05:51. > :05:56.
:05:56. > :06:06.always dangerous. You can just see it, he is taking it on. How clean
:06:06. > :06:16.
:06:16. > :06:23.it did that go in? What do you think? Fantastic cue power from
:06:23. > :06:30.Judd Trump to get down the table far enough to get into position. He
:06:30. > :06:40.could have been tempted to go for the yellow in the middle pocket. A
:06:40. > :06:40.
:06:40. > :06:50.bit of discretion there. There is a slight angle, even so, he would be
:06:50. > :06:54.
:06:54. > :07:04.happy to get past the blue. He has got to be a little careful to play
:07:04. > :07:04.
:07:04. > :08:33.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 101 seconds
:08:33. > :08:43.He would have preferred to finish Any chance these top players get to
:08:43. > :08:44.
:08:44. > :08:51.open a pack of reds, even risking position, they take it. Judd Trump
:08:51. > :09:01.could not guarantee where the cue ball was going to be, but he knew
:09:01. > :09:06.
:09:06. > :09:16.he would be on four colours. Black looks like it does go. As long as
:09:16. > :09:43.
:09:43. > :09:50.he stays a bit of law -- lower on That was an excellent positional
:09:50. > :10:00.shot to get on to the blue, now on to the red. It was so important
:10:00. > :10:06.
:10:06. > :10:16.that he got top side of the blue. Listen to the sound the ball makes
:10:16. > :10:25.
:10:25. > :10:34.as it goes into the pocket. He strikes it so firmly. He reminds me
:10:34. > :10:44.of Neil Robertson, he hits the ball so crisply as well. They are both
:10:44. > :10:44.
:10:44. > :11:24.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 101 seconds
:11:24. > :11:34.He has good choices of a couple of open reds. He may be tempted to go
:11:34. > :11:36.
:11:36. > :11:42.into the pack. Yes, that was a nice shot. APPLAUSE More or less
:11:42. > :11:52.guaranteed to get on to a ball then. Now it is a frame-winning
:11:52. > :11:56.
:11:56. > :12:06.opportunity. He would have liked slightly more of an angle on the
:12:06. > :12:40.
:12:40. > :12:50.APPLAUSE Won more red to be absolutely sure. He will not be too
:12:50. > :13:13.
:13:13. > :13:18.pleased with that. He would like to keep Ali Carter off the table.
:13:18. > :13:28.APPLAUSE I know they are a lot easier when the game is over, but
:13:28. > :13:32.
:13:32. > :13:36.he played that blue of two cushions. Some of the commentators on some of
:13:36. > :13:44.the social media networks get criticism for praising Judd Trump
:13:44. > :13:51.too much. When you have played to the level that some of the
:13:51. > :13:56.commentators have, you know how easy he can make some of the
:13:56. > :14:02.difficult shots look, it is very difficult not to praise him. He is
:14:02. > :14:12.up against another talented player. Ali Carter is no slouch in the
:14:12. > :14:30.
:14:30. > :14:40.talent department. APPLAUSE REFEREE: 100. Judd Trump's second
:14:40. > :14:51.
:14:51. > :15:01.century of the tournament. I'm sure he will make another couple. 155
:15:01. > :15:10.

:15:20. > :15:21.
:15:21. > :15:27.father aboard that wonderful clearance by Judd Trump. -- applaud.
:15:27. > :15:37.One mistake from Ali Carter that left that easy red on. He gets the

:15:37. > :16:53.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 101 seconds
:16:53. > :17:03.You have got to be say careful not to catch the jaws on the safety
:17:03. > :17:40.
:17:40. > :17:46.He has got to be a little bit careful here. That is OK. APPLAUSE.
:17:46. > :17:52.Clever safety shot. He knew he was going to be pushing reds towards
:17:52. > :17:58.the corner so he decided to commit to that. He has presented Ali
:17:58. > :18:04.Carter with a problem now. Not being able to get back down the
:18:05. > :18:14.left-hand side of the table. In all likelihood Ali Carter will try and
:18:15. > :18:22.
:18:22. > :18:32.get some safety shot. It will be a tough cushion. Well... An element
:18:32. > :18:42.of safety in the shot. The ball he played he could have left. Now he
:18:42. > :19:18.
:19:18. > :19:28.The key with a safety shot is to He is having a look at the one next
:19:28. > :19:57.
:19:57. > :20:07.to the black. Maybe he feels he can He could have played that shot much

:20:07. > :22:29.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 101 seconds
:22:29. > :22:39.There is no colour on. If he does not start knocking the long ones on,
:22:39. > :22:57.
:22:57. > :23:07.Judd Trump well. He got away with that. Trump has seen the plant? He
:23:07. > :23:12.
:23:12. > :23:19.is nailed on this. Reds are going all over the place. He fancies this
:23:19. > :23:27.is the right potting angle. would not play that for all the
:23:27. > :23:37.money in the world. I do not know. It is obviously not nailed on. What
:23:37. > :23:38.
:23:38. > :23:48.is he looking at here? Is he going to play the red by the blue? The EU
:23:48. > :23:57.
:23:57. > :24:07.Snooker behind the yellow, why didn't you call that shot?
:24:07. > :24:14.
:24:14. > :24:24.Brilliant. I am still not too sure he had it on his mind. Perfect
:24:24. > :24:27.
:24:27. > :24:37.control of the cue ball. Ali Carter is now in heaps of trouble. Can he
:24:37. > :24:52.
:24:52. > :25:02.get to the red cushion? The only way he has got away with that is if
:25:02. > :25:10.
:25:10. > :25:20.he has left it dead straight. Which is what he might have done.
:25:20. > :25:20.
:25:20. > :25:30.could get the yellow, Judd Trump. He would be fancying the pot on the
:25:30. > :25:35.
:25:36. > :25:43.yellow. What a great shot! He has apologised. A massive positional
:25:43. > :25:51.fluke. I saw at Ali Carter's head drop, it is entitled to drop, that
:25:51. > :25:59.was a massive bit of good fortune. He tried to make something happen.
:25:59. > :26:09.He was hoping the other was always going to be a good option. -- the
:26:09. > :26:24.
:26:24. > :26:30.yellow. How do you feel if you are The red next to the black is
:26:30. > :26:40.causing a problem. He has not got hold of that. What a retrieve that
:26:40. > :26:42.
:26:42. > :26:52.is for Ali Carter. The master felt he was going to lose this frame. --
:26:52. > :26:53.
:26:53. > :27:03.must of felt. Maybe the table is reacting slightly different, new
:27:03. > :27:22.
:27:23. > :27:32.He has got the possibility of trying to get the cue ball in
:27:33. > :27:36.
:27:37. > :27:44.behind the yellow again. He decided against that. APPLAUSE. That was a
:27:44. > :27:49.better judgement of a safety shot. It was a risk. He would have left
:27:49. > :27:52.Ali Carter with an easier safety shot than what he has got now.
:27:52. > :28:02.Burying the cue ball in the centre of the table has given him a

:28:20. > :28:30.He's still on the back foot. He is playing containing stuff at the
:28:30. > :28:39.
:28:39. > :28:44.moment. APPLAUSE. He has not had much of a chance yet. Everything
:28:44. > :28:54.has been saved the first stop I am not too sure he has left a gap for
:28:54. > :28:55.
:28:55. > :29:04.this red. -- safety. It is amazing, isn't it? We are talking about
:29:04. > :29:14.fractions. That might be the only place he cannot cut the LA in from.
:29:14. > :29:16.
:29:16. > :29:26.-- the yellow. He potted it so positively. Not easy to get a
:29:26. > :29:33.
:29:33. > :29:37.snooker from. The balls separate quite a lot on these thin cloths.
:29:37. > :29:45.It looks like Ali Carter can get through to the left-hand side of
:29:45. > :29:55.that fractionally. He has the chance to play the cue ball up and
:29:55. > :30:04.
:30:04. > :30:11.down the table. Down past the green, unless he cannot see enough of it.
:30:11. > :30:17.Well... He must be feeling very aggrieved at the moment with the
:30:17. > :30:27.run of the balls. Everything he is doing is wrong at the moment, isn't
:30:27. > :30:52.
:30:52. > :31:02.Judd Trump immediately looking for a colour that can get him up the
:31:02. > :31:02.
:31:02. > :31:12.table to be able to pot a red and pot the black. It is not ideal how
:31:12. > :31:16.
:31:16. > :31:23.he has played his first shot. Maybe playing the browner even though it
:31:23. > :31:29.is a risk. The fact he has been messing around with the rest means
:31:29. > :31:39.he did not like the position. has got to bring the cue ball over
:31:39. > :31:40.
:31:40. > :31:44.the blue spot area. He has decided to do two cushions. If he can be
:31:44. > :31:54.straight he can get on to the black. If not, he will be on another
:31:54. > :32:04.colour. This time he expected to make a mistake. Next time we see
:32:04. > :32:09.Judd Trump on a long pot, you will notice that before he makes his
:32:09. > :32:14.forward movement with the delivery he gets his eyes fully on the
:32:14. > :32:24.object ball. Not every player does that, but that is Judd Trump's
:32:24. > :32:47.
:32:47. > :32:57.Awkward at the moment. That red and the black, of they are causing the
:32:57. > :33:30.
:33:30. > :33:40.Did not get the best of contacts there. He's still did manage to get
:33:40. > :33:43.
:33:43. > :33:53.away with it. He has not done a lot wrong in this session, to be honest.
:33:53. > :33:53.

:35:02. > :35:06.Can you believe that? Just when we What a bonus this is for Ali Carter.
:35:06. > :35:16.He was expecting Judd Trump to clear where the balls are but now
:35:16. > :35:18.
:35:18. > :35:28.he has an excellent chance of settling this frame. Important to
:35:28. > :35:28.
:35:28. > :35:38.stamp his authority on this session. And quite rightly taking his time,
:35:38. > :35:56.
:35:57. > :36:06.settling himself down. This is an amazing situation, where he can
:36:07. > :36:07.
:36:07. > :36:55.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 101 seconds
:36:55. > :37:02.play all three rents if he wants. - He should not be risking it at this
:37:02. > :37:12.stage. Getting any colour of the last red would be easier for the
:37:12. > :37:13.
:37:13. > :37:23.yellow. It would not be too bad to play from brown to blue but he has
:37:23. > :37:31.
:37:31. > :37:37.got to be able to get on to the green. He could still be tempted to
:37:37. > :37:47.play for the blue here. Whether he has the right angle is another
:37:47. > :37:56.matter. He appears to the turning it down, quite rightly, I think. --
:37:57. > :38:06.appears to be. In some ways, it would be easier to play the yellow
:38:07. > :38:08.
:38:08. > :38:18.but he must be careful. He has had a quick look at the score board so
:38:18. > :38:18.
:38:18. > :38:28.he knows he does not matter which, he plays. It is really nice to see
:38:28. > :38:41.
:38:41. > :38:51.Ali Carter fit and well again after his bout with croons disease. -- an
:38:51. > :38:57.
:38:57. > :39:07.illness. This is the bin shot. If he can pot the green, we can expect
:39:07. > :39:35.
:39:35. > :39:44.Very good. The only problem is that the angle on the brown is not
:39:44. > :39:54.perfect. This is clearly the important shot. He can possibly
:39:54. > :40:05.
:40:05. > :40:13.leave himself on the blue. He has looked at the angle to come around
:40:13. > :40:23.and now he has got to think about these screw back. He will need the
:40:23. > :41:01.
:41:01. > :41:11.Now he has got to get the pink. He does not have to worry about the
:41:11. > :41:22.

:41:42. > :41:52.-- Judd Trump. It was as if he was not settled. Perhaps he should have
:41:52. > :41:54.
:41:54. > :41:59.got up and started again. Under some circumstances, he would
:41:59. > :42:05.risk the double but he has also got to try to guarantee getting the
:42:05. > :42:15.black should he take that risk. He will have to hit is very hard in

:43:37. > :43:39.
:43:39. > :43:49.mouth. He has... This is really a guarantee. As a result of a mishit,
:43:49. > :43:52.
:43:52. > :44:02.he has given Judd Trump a chance. He hit it too thick. This looks
:44:02. > :44:10.
:44:10. > :44:18.pretty straight forward. This has been an amazing frame.
:44:18. > :44:22.(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE). Ali Carter will have been very

:44:32. > :44:36.truck is now level. 5-5. -- Judd Trump is now level.

:46:29. > :46:35.near enough it could double-kiss. It is Ali Carter's turn to have
:46:35. > :46:44.some good fortune now. I think he played that the wrong way. He
:46:44. > :46:54.should have played at the cushion first.

:47:36. > :47:44.The red looks pretty tight. I would imagine from the shot that Ali
:47:44. > :47:51.Carter has played that he does not expect that to go past the black.
:47:51. > :48:00.If it does not, he is going to have a problem in how he goes about this

:49:40. > :49:43.
:49:43. > :49:47.criticise another referee! That was a strange break. It looked like he
:49:47. > :49:52.should score a few points but there were some problems in that. He
:49:52. > :49:58.should have made more movement with the cue ball in and out and back to
:49:58. > :50:07.the blue. Disappoint him. He had not really settled down in this
:50:07. > :50:12.session yet. I think that is because of the pink he missed. He
:50:12. > :50:17.knows that was a frame he could have had and we are back to where
:50:17. > :50:27.we started. He has got to dig deep. He was second favourite coming into

:04:47. > :04:57.He did not score quite as many as he liked but he's 20 points behind.
:04:57. > :04:58.
:04:59. > :05:04.Judd would have been very relieved He tried to in one. Perhaps he
:05:04. > :05:14.would have been better to play one or the other. He needed to commit
:05:14. > :05:15.
:05:15. > :05:25.either fully or commit to playing a good safety shot. As it is, Ali
:05:25. > :05:29.
:05:29. > :05:33.I a very nice kiss but does he have the angle? Where spoken about the
:05:33. > :05:39.run of the ball. Without the kiss he would have come out of the baulk
:05:39. > :05:43.line on three colours, green, brown, yellow. But I think the green it is
:05:43. > :05:51.a bit awkward. I don't know what the angle is we cannot get the
:05:51. > :06:01.camera down there. He was blessed with plenty of that but where is
:06:01. > :06:26.
:06:26. > :06:36.the cue ball going? To close. It He did not get the kiss. Each

:07:01. > :07:10.trailing by 15 points. -- he is A chance for a snooker here. He
:07:10. > :07:20.will be a bit harder than that. He won't do too much damage to a he
:07:20. > :07:30.played that. It looks like Judd can go off the cushion. Some
:07:30. > :07:33.
:07:33. > :07:40.manoeuvring here. Let's see who gets the best of this. Whoever pots
:07:40. > :07:47.the next red, should be the favourites. The Reds will be sooner
:07:47. > :07:57.Open. Whether they pot them, the next one to score may win this
:07:57. > :08:04.
:08:04. > :08:10.frame. Judd Trump meets Dick in one of them over on the side. He does
:08:10. > :08:16.not need to attack. He can make Ali Carter try to force the issue. It's
:08:16. > :08:26.a bit thin on that red. It's moving up towards the other red. If he
:08:26. > :08:26.
:08:26. > :08:36.decides to push it down the table,, he will make Ali Carter take the
:08:36. > :08:36.
:08:36. > :08:46.risk to get all three of the red ball us. He's not too sure whether
:08:46. > :09:03.
:09:03. > :09:08.He can actually cut that one past the green and this in for element
:09:08. > :09:18.of safety to that. What do you think? Will he take it on? It's a
:09:18. > :09:22.
:09:22. > :09:32.bit too thin. I agree but he may hit the blue. The red may come back.
:09:32. > :09:52.
:09:52. > :09:57.I agree moving the red from the I would prefer to play the red by
:09:58. > :10:04.the green gently the other red on the cushion. I'm convinced he can
:10:04. > :10:14.pot it? He can play anything. I don't like moving that. It may be
:10:14. > :10:28.
:10:28. > :10:38.safe. You have been always a bit He hit that too much. A bit too
:10:38. > :10:41.
:10:41. > :10:47.thick. (APPLAUSE). There was superb weight on that and Ali Carter can
:10:47. > :10:57.move that red off the cushion. He cannot win the frame with just one
:10:57. > :11:04.
:11:04. > :11:14.visit. An excellent shot from Ali Carter. He did not want to see that
:11:14. > :11:25.
:11:25. > :11:29.red tight on that cushion. All Judd Trump cannot play the cross
:11:29. > :11:34.double but it's possible in the middle of the table unless he can
:11:34. > :11:44.bring the cue ball back. He needs to be on the centre of the bottom
:11:44. > :11:46.
:11:46. > :11:51.cushion. There is a possibility off that. I don't like this too much.
:11:51. > :11:58.He was lucky again. It just rolled for miles. For one minute he
:11:58. > :12:04.thought he would push the red down the cushion. It really drifted.
:12:04. > :12:12.He's looking at the screen to see if we will show that again. Let's
:12:12. > :12:21.have a look at the reaction. He was playing it full ball towards the
:12:21. > :12:31.red. It rolled that much it went down the cushion. Luckily, no harm
:12:31. > :12:52.
:12:52. > :12:57.Is this the opportunity for Ali Carter was hoping for? He is
:12:57. > :13:04.trailing by 15 points. I think he played that quite slowly and there
:13:04. > :13:14.to the pink in the same pocket rather than risk nothing. He played
:13:14. > :13:17.
:13:17. > :13:27.nothing. Where is the cue ball? It did not want to kiss the red. Of in
:13:27. > :13:29.

:16:18. > :16:18.
:16:18. > :16:28.go off the cushion for the baulk. Maybe the blue is the only one.
:16:28. > :16:28.

:16:47. > :16:55.He goes for the brown but he's in the worst place for the angle to
:16:55. > :17:05.make position very easy. He will probably go for the red into the
:17:05. > :17:08.
:17:08. > :17:18.right hand middle. It did not look hard but it had more delicacy to
:17:18. > :17:24.
:17:24. > :17:30.overcome. One good position here. Not behind the blue ball. The blue
:17:31. > :17:36.went past the green, maybe it will roll up their behind the blue but
:17:36. > :17:44.he's not over the line. Can he played the blue on to the yellow?
:17:44. > :17:48.It would be a horrible shot. He needs to roll up and stop it a bit
:17:48. > :17:53.unfortunate here. If he gets on to the colours it will be the end of

:18:31. > :18:36.
:18:36. > :18:40.that was nicely struck but unfortunately that sums it up.
:18:40. > :18:45.still leads the green. I don't know what the angle on the yellow is
:18:45. > :18:53.like. Maybe he can come back for the pink and the black. As he
:18:53. > :19:03.rested on top of the green? As he? Has he? Almost. Beneath the green

:19:26. > :19:51.
:19:51. > :20:01.Unless he misses this brown ball. A good session of snooker. It's not

:26:32. > :26:38.Absolutely fantastic. In the end, fortunate to see the other red go
:26:38. > :26:47.in. At least he's not presented with an impossible safety shot. He
:26:47. > :26:57.deserved that. As a lot of reaction on the cue ball. He screwed back of
:26:57. > :27:05.
:27:05. > :27:13.that other red ball. Lots of cue power. But great touch. It causes

:30:19. > :30:21.
:30:21. > :30:31.green. He went outside. Keep an eye on the cue ball. He plays left of
:30:31. > :30:55.
:30:55. > :31:05.Does he have a plant there? Can he escape? A bit of spin to the right.

:31:32. > :31:37.to play a lot. Under used by many players but Ali Carter is an expert
:31:37. > :31:47.with that shot. The blue is very important. It leaves the cue ball
:31:47. > :31:49.
:31:49. > :31:55.and the centre of the table. It's a good escape. Alex Higgins, he gave
:31:55. > :32:05.us many thrills over the years and also many nightmares. He was a

:32:39. > :32:45.
:32:45. > :32:54.well? Is it behind the yellow? It is. APPLAUSE That was a very good
:32:54. > :33:03.shot. That is exactly where he played the cue ball. It is amazing,
:33:03. > :33:13.isn't it? As a player, you can see from his expression, after what has
:33:13. > :33:18.happened this afternoon, he probably thinks he deserves that.
:33:18. > :33:28.He does not have a straightforward safety shot. He might play off the
:33:28. > :33:31.
:33:31. > :33:41.yellow. It is risky to try and roll up to the ball. That looks like his
:33:41. > :33:42.
:33:42. > :33:52.area. As long as he is not short, he is OK. Will he take the brown
:33:52. > :34:07.
:34:07. > :34:17.on? What is he doing? No! I do not like to say that. That is a shame.
:34:17. > :34:17.
:34:17. > :34:24.How amazing to go through that lot? That was probably the correct shot
:34:24. > :34:34.to try and smash it all over the place and get lucky. Has he got
:34:34. > :34:40.
:34:40. > :34:49.lucky? Well done, Ali Carter. We are very proud that things like
:34:49. > :34:59.that happen in our sport. The referee did not see it. We did not
:34:59. > :35:01.
:35:01. > :35:11.see it. There is a chance to pot the black and use the green to keep
:35:11. > :35:18.
:35:18. > :35:26.position. Nicely done. Here we go. Only the player knows sometimes. I
:35:26. > :35:36.just wonder whether that four points will make a difference. It
:35:36. > :35:46.
:35:46. > :35:50.would not make a difference anyway. Judd Trump the wrong side of the
:35:50. > :36:00.black. He has made this red a lot more difficult. It is effectively
:36:00. > :36:13.
:36:13. > :36:23.gain -- game shot. Never in doubt. Just this colour. APPLAUSE Very
:36:23. > :36:34.
:36:34. > :36:44.nice indeed. A bonus split to guarantee the frame. This will be
:36:44. > :36:45.
:36:45. > :36:53.three frames on de trot for the second time in this match. He is
:36:53. > :37:03.going to go 8-6 in front now. Carter needs to win one of these

:43:11. > :43:21.momentum helps your cue action. He really did strike that well. There
:43:21. > :43:23.
:43:23. > :43:33.will be another good strike to keep this break going. Can he see one? I
:43:33. > :43:36.thought he might have gone for the one further up the table. Ali
:43:37. > :43:46.Carter is sitting in his chair wondering what he has got to do to
:43:47. > :43:48.
:43:48. > :43:56.get a lead here. He has nothing. He has absolutely nothing at all. At
:43:56. > :44:06.first glance a difficult safety shot. He has got to be careful,
:44:06. > :44:06.
:44:06. > :44:15.hasn't he? He does not want to kiss the black. He has played it well.
:44:15. > :44:25.He had to control his temper, he is entitled to be a little aggrieved.
:44:25. > :44:35.He is a tough player to predict what shots he will play. He might

:49:42. > :49:47.
:49:47. > :49:55.gone against you. At the risk of repeating myself, if Ali Carter can
:49:55. > :50:05.get on the yellow and the brown, get a nice angle, he can shift the
:50:05. > :50:09.
:50:09. > :50:15.red of the side cushion. It is not so easy from the blue. The easier
:50:15. > :50:24.shot is to get on to the brown or the yellow. He does not have the
:50:24. > :50:34.angle to do that. If you think about playing the blue, that is
:50:34. > :50:49.
:50:49. > :50:59.very difficult. He is trusting a bit too luck with where he has left
:50:59. > :50:59.
:50:59. > :51:05.the blue. That is a great effort. All of a sudden, they are both
:51:05. > :51:15.playing to get behind it. A safety shot. He could make a good one
:51:15. > :51:22.
:51:22. > :51:32.behind the black. Too much side spin. He is 29 points in front and
:51:32. > :51:38.
:51:38. > :51:48.has got him snookered. He just got a little too much side on it. He
:51:48. > :51:50.
:51:50. > :52:00.has got it safe. Getting the snooker is more fortunate than you
:52:00. > :52:08.
:52:08. > :52:18.would expect. Ali Carter has got the two cushion escape. Excellent
:52:18. > :52:28.
:52:28. > :52:38.shot in from Ali Carter! This was superb. We might get the chance to
:52:38. > :52:39.
:52:39. > :52:49.show you Ali Carter's last shot. How close they came to hitting,
:52:49. > :52:54.
:52:54. > :53:04.take a look at the reds. A big frame in the context of the match.
:53:04. > :53:19.
:53:20. > :53:29.APPLAUSE. The brown is very smelly. It is a horrible shot. It is quite
:53:30. > :53:35.
:53:35. > :53:45.easy to get this yellow safe. Trying to connect the yellow on the
:53:45. > :53:49.
:53:49. > :53:55.near side. He has paid the price. 22 in front and he needs yellow and
:53:55. > :54:05.green. He does not appear he can get on to the green in its own
:54:05. > :54:09.
:54:09. > :54:19.pocket. Excellent shot. Well played. He deserves not to lose the session.
:54:19. > :54:33.
:54:33. > :54:43.He could come out of the session 8- 8. Yes, Ali Carter broke down at 54.
:54:43. > :54:52.
:54:52. > :55:02.He has got the second chance he required. R required. Rli Carter, nine.
:55:02. > :55:02.
:55:02. > :55:59.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 101 seconds
:55:59. > :56:09.This could be a big session for Judd Trump if he wins it. These
:56:09. > :56:18.
:56:18. > :56:23.next few minutes could not be more important. APPLAUSE. Judd Trump
:56:23. > :56:28.will be looking to get good position on a colour to be able to
:56:28. > :56:34.get down the right-hand side of the table and get that red away from
:56:34. > :56:44.the black spots. He was a bit shy of pace on that one. He may have
:56:44. > :56:53.
:56:53. > :57:00.caused himself a few more headaches because of that. That was a great
:57:00. > :57:10.shot. APPLAUSE The first of the headaches out of the way. He is
:57:10. > :57:12.
:57:12. > :57:22.nicely on this red. How many will he get? Will he get enough to be 9-
:57:22. > :57:22.
:57:22. > :58:04.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 101 seconds
:58:04. > :58:14.There are a couple of loose ones here. This Bolton red pots. --
:58:14. > :58:14.
:58:14. > :58:56.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 101 seconds
:58:56. > :59:06.This is a little bit tricky to get the pink. If he's going to play for
:59:06. > :59:15.
:59:15. > :59:23.the lowest red behind the pack. Maybe a little power play this next
:59:23. > :59:33.shot. He has not really freed anything. He has left himself in
:59:33. > :59:38.
