Day 12 World Championship Snooker Extra

Hello and welcome to the final Snooker Extra up the 2013 et faire

World Snooker Championship. Her first match is between Shaun Murphy

and Judd Trump. Shaun Murphy won it in 2005 and Judd Trump aiming to

win it for the first time. We join DENNIS TAYLOR: It used Judd Trump

to break off. -- it he's just a Trump. As always, a fantastic

atmosphere in the Crucible Theatre. He has let that possible long reds

potting the black and brushing across the face of the red. Getting

them lined up as quite difficult. Nicely struck!

APPLAUSE. With his cue power, he could decide

to go into them here. Look at the action on the cue ball! Too much!

It really took off once it hit the reds. Delayed action. Colliding

into the reds and finally breaking free. That is a very risky red into

the middle pocket. It looks easy -- easier on the television than it

I don't blame him for that. Some of his tactical play has been very

good throughout this year's World Championship. I was talking to John

Parrott this morning. His assessment walls that perhaps Shaun

let Judd Trump in likely yesterday in the tactical department. He

Well, that is a bit better. That is a very good safety. Judd Trump was

matching Sean, and then one stage his safety success rate was even

He is still one point ahead of Shaun in the safety success rate in

the tournament. And you would not expect that. He has worked on his

tactical game. I think Judd Trump has realised that he can just pop

his way to becoming world champion. He is so exciting to watch, but if

he improves and the tactical department, watch out everybody! --

He may have to play off one of these two reds on the left of the

make sure that the cue ball went back on to the baulk area, but it

went in the pocket! That was a bonus! Years back we used to have

shot at the championship quizzes, competitions. I think that would

That would be the green pockets, the yellow pocket and the other

side of the table. The black pocket is were you would normally pot the

black. We normally talk about top of the table play, where the black

Is he going for its? That was straightforward, Steve! That was a

good pot, but it would he put the cue ball. He had a little bit of

safety in mind, also. But behind the green. -- up behind the green.

He has played a good hard frame so far. This side of the pack of reds

on the right hand side would hopefully be an area that Shaun

Murphy could nestle into. I'm not sure he can actually get to that,

though. He needs to catch this one She made that look very easy. Shaun

It is not bad for the cue ball has finished. I think he can get to the

that behind the brown again. He is dominating this opening frame, with

some good tactical play, which you might not expect of him. Not his

favoured method. As you do your apprenticeship in this game, it is

your job to get the balance right. He seems to be doing a very good

job. He would love to get in behind the green, but he may not have an

angle for that. He could drop on the yellow and David Dunn Lockwood

shot. You don't always have to get a snooker. The brown will pot, but

it is the wrong angle. He could push the brown up close to the

He judged the speed at that very well. He wanted to make sure the

brown went past the middle pocket, he couldn't risk leaving it over

the pocket. There would be no point Surely it is not a three-ball

plant! I don't think it will be. She is looking at it. Not quite. --

Eight don't know if he could squeeze that plants, the way it is

sitting. You can sometimes make the ankle with squeezing it. That would

probably straighten up a fraction, but I don't think he was able to

How unlucky is that? He played the positive shot. To hit this middle

get the brown and black out and then take the cue ball down the

Well, we have had a little bit of everything from Judd Trump in this

opening frame. We had that fabulous long pot, and also some very good

tactical play. Yes, he had problems against Marco Fu early in the match,

but once he got into his stride, got off the leash. Do you think

what, he may have got under way with this. If this red doesn't go

into the middle pocket, he has had a result, but it think it baby just

He doesn't struggle to get his rhythm going, even if he has been

frozen out of the match. You wouldn't think he has had such a

torrid time of it for the last six frames. He walks around the table

with confidence. You would think he I have seen Shaun under pressure

over the years play his best snooker. In 2005 he was really

under it against Matthew Stevens. Everybody thought Matthew was going

to be world champion that year. But Shaun, under extreme pressure,

played some unbelievable snooker. There is only one more red that is

available, the one at the front of the three reds and pinks. He has a

slight angle on the blue to play a Well, he has played for the only

one that was available. Would he get a better angle this time to

move them, or when he removes this red, is the one to the left

punished Judd for the missed black Good point you made, Steve, Shaun

walks round the table as if he had won six frames in a row. He is a

professional, loves the game of snooker. And is a good ambassador

for the game. But he needs the black to have a chance at a century.

The boy is cueing well again! All credit to Shaun Murphy. We have had

38 centuries so far in this World Championship. Shaun has had four.

Make that five! And now we have a match on our hands! Shaun cueing

beautifully. Who will get through His highest break has been 128. He

will equal that if he pots the red and black. Well done, Shaun Murphy!

Walks around the place like Keet owns that place. Can Shaun

continued with the good long pot? He was a long way off that. But he

has got away with it. Fortunate ones he missed the park. In fact it

is a bit of a stalemate where the white has finished. There is very

That red is pottable from everywhere down the bottom of the

table apart from the green pocket area. Could play a tempter, dead

straight in the jaws of the black pocket. He can get the game back to

normality. But he will have to be careful if he plays that back up

the table. Modern players always looking for a half chance. He did

not play to roll it in, that is for certain. He just played to wobble

it in the jaws. There is no player who likes this type of frame. He

certainly did not want that to happen. And a half chance for Judd

Trump. That is right in the pocket. That was a bad mistake from Shaun.

That was very careless. He might be It looks as if the session is

Did not have to go into the pink there, just played for the single

red. He might leave himself on the black this time. He still has two

loose reds think about. Judd wants to get into the bounce as soon as

possible. It looks as though he is going to wait. You would have

expected the pack to be opened there. He has got a nice last

resort hanging over the green pocket. Has he got the separation?

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 62 seconds

Well, I don't know if he had heavy contact or if was just the bridging.

But that could be costly. Maybe he just took his eye off it. This

could be quite a turning point. It looked pretty straightforward for

Judd to have a run to the winning line in this frame. But the way

Shaun Murphy played it the last frame, I would not put it past him

to clear up here. That delicate cannon has got him back in prime

position. At his level he is the favourite to win the frame. It was

Just in between frames on the other side of the arena. That is what the

noise is about. The only real hope for Judd here is possibly in

potting the last red, that he somehow goes wrong. If brown and

green and yellow were on their spots it would be an easier

prospect. He has to be careful with Just walking away from the shot and

back into it again. That is the thing to do. No point changing your

mind when you are down into the shot. He may be able to play for

the brown in the middle pocket. He has gone a bit wide for that shot.

Of course he can play the brown into the same pocket as the red.

am not sure if that yellow is blocking the brown. I assumed it

was. But playing the green could go wrong if he had the worst possible

angle. He has to make sure he does not snooker himself. A body blow

for Judd if he clears up here. Oh, he thought he had missed that! Just

there he thought it was not going in. Superb from Shaun Murphy here.

So a judge Trump missed a black off I do not think he got a kick. Just

What a great frame from Shaun Murphy. It looked easy at one stage.

Shaun Murphy is back in the lead. Needs a little flick and he has not

got it. Very unlucky. Just under nine feet, the long pot. Unlucky to

finish where he did. Ideally he would have been on the yellow.

He did not really get it that tight. You would expect Shaun Murphy to

get out of this, no problem. Because of the reds that are lose

to the bounce, you cannot come of that side. If he plays to land on

the one behind the black he has got to be spot on. That looks a little

bit pacey. He will be disappointed with that. There were other options

but they all had an element of risk. I must say, the pockets along the

top cushion this week have looked relatively easy. And nicely

controlled shot from Judd Trump there. He deserves to have got

something out of it. It just seems that the top cushion has been

It is good to watch, this session. It has been fascinating. Judd Trump

mistake in the second frame. Shaun Murphy cleared the table. Can this

A great session of snooker, this has been. I think we all need the

interval just to get a breather. But it is top-class stuff from

these great players. This session has had a bit of everything. The

first one to crack. Who is it going to be? Well below century break but

he will not bother about that. It has been scintillating snooker we

have witnessed. And the players go to the mid- session interval, all

other one off the cushion and send it up past the green. He never

get through to the pink? If he puts Shaun Murphy back in then he has

got quite an easy escape. Shaun could go off a side cushion and pot

the red. If the pink went, you could make a case for actually

going for the pink. He was lucky there to get the green back safe

Something like that, Steve? Well I thought that was going to drop in

the middle pocket. That would have been end of frame. As it is Comet

store might well be, but it will be Judd Trump to take it. This will be

a body blow for Shaun. The first escape that he tried to play and

the cue ball went behind the black, that was the start of all the

problems. What a turnaround this What a turnaround. He looked a

nine reds left on the table. He hit that far too thin. Somehow got back

shots here. Not only to pot but to get on a red. I do not blame him

for refusing the green. He has got in behind the brown. There is no

escape, similar to the one he played previously. That is nearer

the moment. But if Shaun could get some reds into play there could be

a long way to go in this frame. And maybe a chance to bring the black

into play. It is just how he feels. He is quite an aggressive player.

He is taking this on! It is a cracking pot. He is a bit unlucky

with the cue ball. Could have been tears if it had gone wrong! Shaun

played a very brave shot there. This could be a key shot. He has to

sportsmanship. Judd Trump making it slightly more difficult for himself.

He can only just get to the edge of it. He has got the option of coming

off the side cushion and trying to nuzzle on the red. Here we go. He

has left a possible pot. The yellow has come to the rescue. That was

fortunate but he will take that. He was hoping to get the white down
