:00:36. > :00:44.Welcome to snooker extra. If the 2014 World Snooker Championship. We
:00:45. > :01:00.are focusing on England versus Wales. Your commentators are here
:01:01. > :01:17.now. It will be interesting to see how
:01:18. > :01:32.prompt performs in this match. There is a lot of expectation on him. --
:01:33. > :01:39.Trump. You'd think it would have kicked on from last year and won a
:01:40. > :01:53.lot of tournaments but he hasn't. It's about time you start producing.
:01:54. > :02:02.Yes, he had the tip trouble in the previous round. O'Sullivan is
:02:03. > :02:06.another one who has trouble with that. You'd think the championship
:02:07. > :02:18.would make sure there was a decent one. You want it knocked in rather
:02:19. > :02:32.than brand-new. Sometimes the in between matches. -- he changes
:02:33. > :02:47.them. The aggressive safety shot. First chance for a pot for Ryan
:02:48. > :02:49.Day. That's what happens when it pushes the cue ball out wider, and
:02:50. > :03:09.makes your shots wide. Just about the only kiss that
:03:10. > :04:35.wouldn't have left a pot on. Second. What an opportunity for Ryan
:04:36. > :04:37.Day. His coming to see if it's possible to stand off the cushion
:04:38. > :04:44.for the black to the same pocket. That's the shot you would play, but
:04:45. > :05:02.you need to take the cue ball back up to the bulk end.
:05:03. > :05:36.Both longshots attempted have been a long way off, perhaps not settled
:05:37. > :05:44.yet. He's got the data issues on again, haven't you? Those have got
:05:45. > :06:04.to cost a couple of grand. -- dazzle shoes. They look a bit sharp. The --
:06:05. > :06:14.Louboutins. I never thought of you snooker player wearing those. -- I'd
:06:15. > :06:27.see. That got the balls in perfect position. He'd like to get the blue
:06:28. > :06:46.back and play. The pink is out of commission as well. A great
:06:47. > :07:07.advantage to have that cue power. (APPLAUSE)
:07:08. > :07:15.. EC of kissing the black. That is what he tried. The pink is now
:07:16. > :07:21.available. He planned to kiss the red into the black. That has turned
:07:22. > :07:29.out to be perfect. Such an advantage. So many players in the
:07:30. > :07:39.game do not have that shot in their arsenal.
:07:40. > :07:54.You can tell already the TP has on now is more responsive. -- tip. He
:07:55. > :08:15.spent lots of time on the track this table. -- practice table.
:08:16. > :09:02.A very good contribution, considering the black and blue have
:09:03. > :09:15.been out of place. He is taking this on. This is a bit dangerous. What a
:09:16. > :09:31.brilliant shot. Very, very lucky not to be on a ball. Perfect. What a
:09:32. > :09:38.clever shot. Another example of his tremendous timing. To be able to get
:09:39. > :09:57.yourself out of trouble with these shots.
:09:58. > :10:34.(APPLAUSE) . 42. His control has been
:10:35. > :10:44.impressive so far, Judd Trump. Relaxed, composed, everything you
:10:45. > :10:49.need to be. He is up for it. He played so poorly in his first round
:10:50. > :10:59.match against Tom, they have not been talking about him a winning
:11:00. > :11:08.this tournament. But with this kind of form, he could be a runner. He
:11:09. > :11:12.will not be scared of playing a O'Sullivan. Only two of three
:11:13. > :11:22.players left in this tournament where that is the case.
:11:23. > :11:52.Just about high enough to see the red. Now the frame is safe, possibly
:11:53. > :11:57.making a century in this visit. In the first round, the highest was 72
:11:58. > :12:20.and it is still 72. Did you use to come back to the
:12:21. > :12:23.table in that situation? I do not think so. The rates are awkwardly
:12:24. > :12:49.placed. -- the red. Most players spent half an hour in
:12:50. > :12:58.the practice room and go to the dressing room to wash their hands
:12:59. > :13:09.and then they are straight on. He has nodded so that fabulous break of
:13:10. > :13:23.70 has given him the first frame. Ryan Day to break. No real chance in
:13:24. > :13:30.that first frame. You always want to get your first frame as quickly as
:13:31. > :13:35.possible. Even in a 25 match. You never settle until you get a frame
:13:36. > :13:45.on the board. Best of 25, obviously, you're going to have lots chances.
:13:46. > :13:53.The red to the left corner of the black but it looks a bit straight.
:13:54. > :13:59.He could bring the cue ball back. It will be interesting to see how many
:14:00. > :14:08.power shots they play. They are two of the very best. Another long pot.
:14:09. > :14:13.The first three he has gone for, he is not what close. That cue ball has
:14:14. > :14:35.gone in. I thought it had stopped. It always looked like it was going
:14:36. > :14:47.to stop but it turned at the last second. What a difference it has
:14:48. > :14:55.made. A missed opportunity to score a viewpoint. That is the thing went
:14:56. > :15:00.you have attacking players. You cannot afford to make a mistake. It
:15:01. > :15:09.puts pressure on your safety and your long game. Did not appear to be
:15:10. > :15:29.decide to go down. The table is a very fast, of course.
:15:30. > :15:32.He screwed this to make sure he did not get any sort of kiss. That is a
:15:33. > :16:08.beautiful shot. Back up to the blue again. Not far
:16:09. > :16:22.enough. 11th. He has enough to bring the cue and avoid the cannon. The
:16:23. > :16:29.yellow is the danger. This is excellent. He looks a different
:16:30. > :16:37.player than he did it the other day. He is perfect. He played the cannon
:16:38. > :16:42.and brought the black into play. He certainly will be playing the
:16:43. > :16:51.cannon. He held it for the black. 70. He wants to get rid of the red
:16:52. > :16:57.to the right of the black as quickly as possible. He has all the talent
:16:58. > :17:05.in the world but the positional shots, sometimes, he let them sleep
:17:06. > :17:15.and that is why he does not compete with someone like Sullivan on a more
:17:16. > :17:26.regular basis. Not nice on the yellow, not nice on the blue. The
:17:27. > :17:32.yellow as the cue ball travelling loose. He needs to get the pace
:17:33. > :17:49.right here. He generated just about enough. The black is not available.
:17:50. > :18:03.(APPLAUSE) . 28. Getting a bit more difficult
:18:04. > :18:09.now. Nothing available of this blue to the right-hand corner. He may
:18:10. > :18:26.need to leave the cue where it is now. He needs to be a press it. Yes,
:18:27. > :18:34.he is playing to the half ball pot. -- he needs to be aggressive. That
:18:35. > :18:53.is the first time he has missed a shot by a long way in this match.
:18:54. > :19:24.(APPLAUSE) .
:19:25. > :19:38.He missed the brown. Oh, dear, that is all you need, isn't it? An easy
:19:39. > :19:42.shot. A couple of long ones he has missed. Now he has to face a tough
:19:43. > :20:15.safety. Behind in the points. That is an excellent safety shot
:20:16. > :20:21.from Ryan Day. You cannot live a longer pot on. OK, you might miss
:20:22. > :20:38.them but you know he's going to go them. -- for them.
:20:39. > :20:50.He has only pot it one of the four long shots. This is not a nice shot
:20:51. > :20:59.to play. (APPLAUSE)
:21:00. > :21:05.. It is just a beautiful shot. He should get the upper hand now, just
:21:06. > :21:16.roll in behind the green. As tight as possible. Try to cut the side
:21:17. > :21:20.cushions out. But it is very hard. Especially in this situation, you
:21:21. > :21:31.want to make sure you get the snooker. After you have played a few
:21:32. > :21:41.frames, you have a better feel. You do not want to, wide pass this
:21:42. > :21:47.thread. You will have to pay the red next to the centre. That may be easy
:21:48. > :21:56.shot to play. He cannot be straight. He fancies of this. This is Ryan
:21:57. > :21:59.Day's first real chance. A very poor lad so he does not need the rest for
:22:00. > :22:19.this. I do not think he hit that as well
:22:20. > :22:37.as he was hoping but he is still on the black. A decent chance to get
:22:38. > :22:39.back into this frame. The black only points to one corner. It has made it
:22:40. > :22:53.all could. -- awkward. He is not happy with that bread. --
:22:54. > :23:28.red. He played a good shot between the
:23:29. > :23:33.two reds. It is amazing how that red, three inches away from the
:23:34. > :23:40.black, has caused problems throughout this frame. He would have
:23:41. > :23:51.thought it was easy to get on to that they have not so far. Play a
:23:52. > :24:05.cannon on that bread. Count-out the two reds and the pink. -- red. There
:24:06. > :24:27.is always a danger. A thinner cut than he wanted. He is a great
:24:28. > :24:38.talent. Number six in the world sometime ago. He is a lovely to
:24:39. > :24:43.watch. One good positional shot here and he could win the frame but he
:24:44. > :24:52.needs to get back to the red in a couple of shots time. Again, gone
:24:53. > :25:01.too far. Both players struggling with the pace in this opening two
:25:02. > :25:06.frames. It is amazing, both players have been in and that problem led to
:25:07. > :25:19.the right of the black has not moved. -- red. Again, he cannot get
:25:20. > :26:10.on the red. Better hope is to have the blue to
:26:11. > :26:18.the rescue. (APPLAUSE)
:26:19. > :26:30.. The red is meant to be behind the black. It is like deceleration. He
:26:31. > :26:41.did not get into the cue ball. It might be worth risking the swerve to
:26:42. > :26:48.hit the red. He has to get behind the green and pink. He played a good
:26:49. > :26:49.shot. He has the desired safety shot as well. That was an excellent shot.
:26:50. > :27:25.(APPLAUSE) .
:27:26. > :27:37.Quietly, please. He has taken on every long pot so far. This looks
:27:38. > :27:44.more difficult. But if it placed it on the black, it is the only one he
:27:45. > :27:50.can leave it for. Where with the red going to wind up? There is your
:27:51. > :28:34.answer, he got away with it. Ryan Day, four. This is time for
:28:35. > :28:42.Ryan. He leads by 15. Up-and-down safety would be the right choice. He
:28:43. > :29:13.has a chance to pot the red as well. A bit careless.
:29:14. > :29:20.He generates a lot of cue power without hitting it too hard. Ryan
:29:21. > :29:27.knows he should take this on, really. He seems to be a bit
:29:28. > :29:31.reluctant. Stephen, to would be having a go at this one, would it
:29:32. > :29:31.yet? (APPLAUSE)
:29:32. > :29:44.. -- would you? The shot was so mishit. He had the
:29:45. > :30:30.chance to win the frame. I think Brian is snookered. The red
:30:31. > :30:37.next to the yellow. -- Ryan. It is not easy because he can hit the red
:30:38. > :30:49.on both sides. How does he gets to miss the yellow and brown and play
:30:50. > :30:51.it back to this end? He is faced with living it with a snooker. It is
:30:52. > :31:06.tough. If you lose a frame from a safety
:31:07. > :31:20.shot, it hurts so much more. At least you have gone for a pot. That
:31:21. > :31:30.will help. Take out the green. Did not spot that one. Still not out of
:31:31. > :31:33.the woods. He needs to make sure he gets to this side of the table but
:31:34. > :31:38.he gets to this side of the table but if he can hit this, he would
:31:39. > :31:46.rather be near the middle pocket. Green and 19. Put the red possibly
:31:47. > :32:14.up to the green. Could level it won all. -- 1-1.
:32:15. > :32:25.Five. I do not know if he played for the green into the middle. If he
:32:26. > :32:37.did, it is a good positional shot but I cannot imagine it.
:32:38. > :33:03.Just the angle he needed to level the scores at 1-1. Eight. Ten.
:33:04. > :33:11.(APPLAUSE) . This is a very interesting match.
:33:12. > :33:26.Both players cueing well. OK, they missed a couple of balls but when
:33:27. > :33:34.they get in, they are playing well. The blue has not got in. All square
:33:35. > :33:48.at 1-1. Both players sharing the first two
:33:49. > :33:55.frames. Both should be pretty relaxed, ready to get on with it.
:33:56. > :34:55.The rest of the six frames in this session.
:34:56. > :35:03.A long, long away with that pot. The blue has disappeared as well. A good
:35:04. > :35:23.chance for Judd Trump to get a few points. One.
:35:24. > :35:31.He has got a red to the centre, he can get a nice angle on the blue to
:35:32. > :35:45.smash it back. That is what he is looking for here.
:35:46. > :36:10.Six. He can straighten the red and playful blue. He has an angle to go
:36:11. > :36:14.on this. He will be looking to leave himself high on the black. It is
:36:15. > :36:23.better to come to this pack. It is not want to be low. Sometimes, if
:36:24. > :36:29.you hit too much bottom, it is a while before the spin takes effect.
:36:30. > :36:35.See if he stuns it. That was a great shot. He is stunned it. That was the
:36:36. > :36:43.way to play that. Where is the green going? Foul. He would be reasonably
:36:44. > :36:50.pleased about the cue ball would be need the cushion. This red, passes
:36:51. > :36:59.the other red into the corner. He would have to play at pace to hit
:37:00. > :37:45.the cushion but it is difficult to get the desired amount of spin.
:37:46. > :37:50.It looks like his car taking the cut in the middle and trying to come
:37:51. > :38:02.around at the back of the black. -- he is taking. A very good cue ball,
:38:03. > :38:07.very important to get that cushion. He can easily bring the cue ball
:38:08. > :38:42.back. At first glance it looks a bit
:38:43. > :38:44.careless there. He can possibly pot the rate, if not he can certainly
:38:45. > :39:31.lead to snooker. -- red. What a clever shot this is. If he
:39:32. > :39:36.gets away with this it's brilliant. He has left the pot in the middle.
:39:37. > :40:40.He played it perfectly, really. A bit of follow-through here on the
:40:41. > :40:45.red that is directly below the peak. He needs the cube or clean if he is
:40:46. > :40:57.going to play a screw shot. Give that a cheque they are, the cue ball
:40:58. > :41:12.goes nowhere. -- cue ball clean. Charles to go -1 in front. -- chance
:41:13. > :41:40.to go 2-1. It opens those other to read into
:41:41. > :42:06.this corner. -- those other two reds.
:42:07. > :42:27.A decent pot on the yellow. He is starting to feel more confident, I
:42:28. > :42:33.think. Nice bounce. That cue ball has travelled almost put more than
:42:34. > :42:38.it was supposed to. It just seems this table, that side of black, that
:42:39. > :42:47.cushion... It's the same shot all the time. That's not bounced at all,
:42:48. > :42:55.just a little bit further in. When you play topspin shots, or backspin
:42:56. > :43:13.on the cue ball, it doesn't seem to bounce as much. He is playing on the
:43:14. > :43:19.second red there. You can run through all three reds in the
:43:20. > :43:47.opposite corner, but... That was just as easy as anything else.
:43:48. > :43:57.This is the key positional shot. He just pushed those to read together.
:43:58. > :44:01.This one is going to drop onto the cushion when his elbows. -- those
:44:02. > :45:01.two reds. A couple of pots away from taking a
:45:02. > :45:17.2-1 lead. He Okada still put the red in the middle. -- is OK to. That's
:45:18. > :45:24.the reason. If you're straight on it you can't miss it. The frame is
:45:25. > :45:30.still alive. Attacking shot here, read to the green pocket. -- red.
:45:31. > :45:50.It's not bad. If it had hit the joint of the two
:45:51. > :45:57.reds they both would have been in place. A little bit tricky on the
:45:58. > :46:10.right-hand side. He may try to hit powerfully to want to get bring both
:46:11. > :46:16.those reds into play. If he was a right-handed player he wouldn't play
:46:17. > :46:26.to kiss the reds. He really wants to play it. He is going to have to play
:46:27. > :46:31.with a trace of left-hand side. He has to play with some pace.
:46:32. > :46:38.Otherwise it will adopt tight on the side cushion. That was unlucky.
:46:39. > :46:51.Tried to use the topspin, almost banana cue ball. -- bananaed a cue
:46:52. > :47:14.ball. I don't think the black or the black
:47:15. > :47:36.or pink is any good now. He's got an angle on the black, though. In a 25
:47:37. > :47:40.frame match, you get so many psychological times in the match we
:47:41. > :47:50.need to pinch frames. This was a chance for the first. -- where you.
:47:51. > :48:06.The read clearly plotted past the yellow, I can't believe it. -- red.
:48:07. > :48:14.It was a chance to deliver the first blow in the match. A poor safety
:48:15. > :48:17.shot there. He's given him a second chance at this frame. This will hurt
:48:18. > :49:23.Ryan Day because he's dominated the frame.
:49:24. > :49:47.The best of 25, you should win, but now you're playing catch up. You
:49:48. > :50:00.have to wait for a better chance. Stays down on the pink, and the
:50:01. > :50:03.black. Ryan Day had the best two chances when he missed the second
:50:04. > :50:37.chance and it's cost him the frame 2-1.
:50:38. > :51:02.This needs good cuing. Didn't go for it in the end. You get friends like
:51:03. > :51:17.this, the way wasting so little bit when you see the blacks tied up at
:51:18. > :51:23.the end of a frame. They haven't got clue what he played there. Did he
:51:24. > :51:35.play a cut and then completely mishit it? He must have done.
:51:36. > :51:48.Yes, that's the only shot he could have been playing. A great shot.
:51:49. > :52:28.It's a bonus that he's hit the pink full ball.
:52:29. > :52:41.Black not available in the corner. I don't know whether the pink is going
:52:42. > :53:10.to be available. It might be. That could help.
:53:11. > :53:30.Too much pace on the cue ball. These are tough.
:53:31. > :53:43.He always likes to play every shot with a bit of pace. It's gone too
:53:44. > :53:47.far up the table. Yes, he's got the wrong angle on the blue to go over
:53:48. > :53:52.to the red in the red and black. That gap in between pink and black,
:53:53. > :54:05.he's got to get the pace exactly right. Now he's missed the pot.
:54:06. > :54:15.Didn't expect him to miss the spur, it looks straightforward, doesn't
:54:16. > :54:31.it? Absolutely expected to get that. He is more comfortable punching
:54:32. > :54:44.balls and dropping them in. It looked as if it was tight but in
:54:45. > :54:50.fairness his artistic so... -- are too thick. If your property on other
:54:51. > :55:12.lovely angle on the blue just smashing into the pack. -- he pots
:55:13. > :55:25.it. It's not so easy to control the direction of the cue ball. We can
:55:26. > :55:30.only presume that he thought it was at least two or three inches away
:55:31. > :55:37.from the cushion but just lost that Kubot fraction. There is the angle
:55:38. > :55:43.there. He's missed the pack by a fraction. If the cueball bores away
:55:44. > :56:11.from the site cushion its on missable. -- side cushion, it's
:56:12. > :56:19.unmissable. The Cuba path going back to the other end of the table. He is
:56:20. > :56:30.going to have to get it. -- cueball.
:56:31. > :56:56.Look very tough. That was an excellent pot.
:56:57. > :57:09.He is looking to get further up the table so you can drop in the black.
:57:10. > :58:18.That's what he's played. The red at the top of the bunch pots
:58:19. > :58:27.to the right corner. You can just follow through to the black. Nice.
:58:28. > :58:28.It's a more exact position. You've got all your eggs in one basket
:58:29. > :58:58.playing for this one. Good recovery. You just want to play
:58:59. > :59:06.kiss this time. Maybe a bit then from that. Looking at the deep
:59:07. > :59:13.yellow, both of these players are blessed with an abundance of cue
:59:14. > :59:26.power. Look how good that is. You just can't strike a ball that than
:59:27. > :59:53.that. It's hit so smoothly. Yes, it's just your timing. -- pure. Can
:59:54. > :00:11.you believe it? He played the most brilliant shot from yellow to red?
:00:12. > :00:25.It bounced 100 miles high. If you don't time that absolutely
:00:26. > :00:39.perfectly, you always get kicked. I just wonder... It happens a lot. I
:00:40. > :00:42.just hope it doesn't cost him the frame at this visit so he can go
:00:43. > :01:02.into the interval thinking is still got one more chance. -- he's. It's
:01:03. > :01:15.landed in an awkward place here. The black is right in that line. Playing
:01:16. > :01:24.a power shot, you could actually bring the black into play here. But
:01:25. > :01:32.he didn't banana. He's only got a safety shot now. He was expecting
:01:33. > :01:51.the way to go around the back of the yellow. He is still on it that he
:01:52. > :02:00.can't play it from there. -- but. Ryan's turn not to have a good run
:02:01. > :02:19.on the ball there. Got to hit this very then to have any chance. --
:02:20. > :02:28.thin. He's thinking about playing that led to the right-hand side of
:02:29. > :03:08.the pack -- red. He knows whether White is going to end up... It could
:03:09. > :03:18.be on the black. One good pot now from Ryan and he will forget about
:03:19. > :03:39.that cheque. -- kick. You want the cueball another three or four inches
:03:40. > :03:56.in the middle of the table. That was a very good shot.
:03:57. > :04:02.He didn't have to worry about getting the perfect angle on the
:04:03. > :04:18.black. Just making sure that wherever he finished, he could bring
:04:19. > :04:20.it into play. He is going to have to play the kiss now, he's finished a
:04:21. > :04:55.bit low. Not the best, he's already missed
:04:56. > :05:28.one of these shots in the middle pocket. 17 points in front, both
:05:29. > :05:39.reds needed. Just the last red needed. In the last frame with
:05:40. > :05:45.senior miss a red and he's done it again. Not good for the confidence
:05:46. > :05:50.when you keep missing pressure shots. There will be a lot more
:05:51. > :06:21.pressure shots to come. It might double kiss, you've got to
:06:22. > :06:27.be a bit careful here. Just managed to miss a double kiss. That's as
:06:28. > :07:07.good as he could've done from that. He did not want to see it hit the
:07:08. > :07:19.draw and stay in the pocket. He would do well to actually not leave
:07:20. > :07:26.the on here. -- the pot. Make sure it does not kiss the brown. That was
:07:27. > :08:08.hard to see that red. Amazing. Hitting the pink was in his
:08:09. > :08:14.favour but all of a sudden the Kiss has not worked at all. I think he
:08:15. > :08:38.can plot the pink to the right centre. A bit of a risk at this
:08:39. > :08:54.stage. Judd Trump, one. The pink was on but it was too risky to play.
:08:55. > :09:13.That landed. Not quite. Fail and a miss. Judd Trump, four. -- foul.
:09:14. > :09:22.Listed by two inches the first time. Would like a pound when he
:09:23. > :09:53.hits it this time. Hibbarb like to get it high and the
:09:54. > :09:59.black or pink. -- he would like to get behind. But does not want to
:10:00. > :10:02.push it too far. A long way to travel. Should have gained the
:10:03. > :10:54.safety but has not. It is on. He will be taking it on.
:10:55. > :11:04.He got mighty close. Where is it going to wind up? Not too bad. But
:11:05. > :11:23.Judd will be taking this on. He got very close. Judd's turn to have a go
:11:24. > :11:27.at a long one. There is a shock. What a good safety shot he has
:11:28. > :11:28.played as well. Well done. (APPLAUSE)
:11:29. > :12:21.. That is another good safety shot. I
:12:22. > :12:25.think he can just see the edge of the red. That is unlucky. The red is
:12:26. > :12:35.going to be going out to the left-hand corner. He needs to cover
:12:36. > :12:36.the red hard. So that it does not go on the cushion. Good shot. Very
:12:37. > :13:13.good. He will play to the right-hand side
:13:14. > :13:29.to the red. Thinking black and blue again. Just took the pace of the cue
:13:30. > :13:40.ball when it hit. That is a good shot. He left a pot on. -- that is a
:13:41. > :13:52.poor shot. He has that every chance to take an interval lead, Ryan Day.
:13:53. > :13:56.But now there is a slight chance it will be behind. He does not have to
:13:57. > :14:16.worry about whether Green is at the moment. -- where the greenies. --
:14:17. > :14:20.green is. That is why he played the yellow. He knew exactly where the
:14:21. > :14:27.cue ball was going to be. This is perfect. Has he hit it hard enough?
:14:28. > :14:28.Not much margin for error. Anything too hard was always going to leave
:14:29. > :14:54.some sort of pot. Ryan Day blew his cheeks as he saw
:14:55. > :15:26.that green go close to his pocket. A strange choice of shot.
:15:27. > :15:42.Just the blue needed. I think 2-2 would be a fair result for the first
:15:43. > :15:52.four frames. Ryan Day needed three chances to win that frame. They go
:15:53. > :16:03.to the interval all square. Frame five. Judd Trump to break.
:16:04. > :16:15.Could not be more evenly poised. In fairness, Ryan Day could probably
:16:16. > :16:20.have led 3-1. On reflection, that is just about a fair score.
:16:21. > :16:32.(APPLAUSE) . One. Ryan Day getting a faster
:16:33. > :16:38.bounce off the cushion then he was ten. This is such a pace. It is
:16:39. > :17:05.guaranteed to be on a colour. A nice confident pot. Three. He
:17:06. > :17:10.needs to make sure he is high on this black to get rid of the red to
:17:11. > :17:13.the right of the black. Just a little bit low. He is going to be
:17:14. > :17:28.disappointed with that little shot there.
:17:29. > :17:41.Phenomenal cue power. The cue ball comes out of the cushion. Come back
:17:42. > :17:52.to wards the red. Neither black. Pupil will -- cueball will be going
:17:53. > :17:54.to safety. That was the plan. It was not expecting to hit the bump in the
:17:55. > :18:15.middle pocket. -- he. He played that well. Little bounce
:18:16. > :18:21.of the cushion gives them a chance to play the two reds and the pink.
:18:22. > :18:26.It appears the only things available on the left-hand side of the pack.
:18:27. > :18:33.He needs to make something happen. He does not necessarily have to go
:18:34. > :18:36.for the pink. He may go for the red. Unfortunately that him, he missed
:18:37. > :18:43.the blue. It did not see that coming. The only good thing as far
:18:44. > :18:48.as Judd is concerned, he hit the red he wanted to. More red to become
:18:49. > :19:03.available in the left-hand corner. He appears to have got away with it.
:19:04. > :20:51.The less -- unless he plays off the cushion, I do not see how he can get
:20:52. > :20:57.to the ball. I can only presume he's trying to hit the pink on the half
:20:58. > :21:03.ball but he is almost bound to leave the red on. Even if he hits that...
:21:04. > :21:06.It is going towards the brown and yellow so there's no way can get the
:21:07. > :21:22.red out of pocket. Foul. The opportunity of a red to the left
:21:23. > :21:28.corner. Two or three years ago he would not have hesitated to take
:21:29. > :21:36.that on. Brian gets away with a safety shot but he will regret that.
:21:37. > :21:50.The blue is off the middle. -- Ryan. Fail and a miss. Judd Trump, four.
:21:51. > :22:00.-- foul. It is easy to take it on but even if it takes the red, I just
:22:01. > :22:14.cannot see how we can get the white without kissing the brown. He has
:22:15. > :22:18.hit its quarter ball. Foul. It might not be a bad result with where the
:22:19. > :23:01.red was hit. Yes, if he can play the one over the
:23:02. > :23:05.corner pocket, he has the blue available in the corner. If he plays
:23:06. > :23:12.it hard, try to get the cue ball back into the top end of the table,
:23:13. > :23:17.it is tough. He has played it hard. And at doing that, he is leaving
:23:18. > :23:22.eight pot red. I can understand him taking the red on but I cannot
:23:23. > :23:27.understand leading it where the red is. This is my argument when he
:23:28. > :23:36.missed the snooker the first time. He left Judd medium-range pot to the
:23:37. > :23:41.red Corner. If he played the shot correctly, he would have to play a
:23:42. > :24:07.more difficult shot. Perhaps a missed opportunity. One.
:24:08. > :24:18.He did well. It is always hard to screw back because you are virtually
:24:19. > :24:24.bouncing into the blue. He still managed to get the screw. A very
:24:25. > :24:28.good shot. If he can get on to the pink nicely, he has a chance of
:24:29. > :24:33.getting a sizeable lead in this frame. Very soon he will be able to
:24:34. > :24:38.get onto the black in the left corner as well. A good chance. The
:24:39. > :24:45.pink is the obvious ball to playful but he is tempted to screw up with
:24:46. > :25:20.the blue. To clear the spot. But he is playing for the pink. Seven.
:25:21. > :25:28.13. (APPLAUSE)
:25:29. > :25:46.. The reason a red available in the
:25:47. > :25:51.middle. That was dangerous. Ryan Day, 13. I think many had the shot
:25:52. > :25:55.on the rest, it was easy to play for the pink in the middle but I think
:25:56. > :26:03.for the purposes of winning a frame it was a better shot to go for the
:26:04. > :26:17.blue. He is going to get another chance at it. That is a let off.
:26:18. > :26:24.(APPLAUSE) .
:26:25. > :27:09.That is very unlucky. He still has a pot on but, as you can see, it is
:27:10. > :27:13.very difficult. If the white was a couple of inches further in play,
:27:14. > :27:19.you would fancy ten out of ten but this is not one of those
:27:20. > :27:31.situations. It might have been tight on the cushion. He cannot hold it
:27:32. > :27:35.for the blue. Decided to play for a colour. A good shot, that. Seven.
:27:36. > :28:06.(APPLAUSE) .
:28:07. > :28:30.(APPLAUSE) .
:28:31. > :29:05.Well controlled. He has done enough. You can see, the black is
:29:06. > :29:14.available in the same pocket. He has to finish low on the black. Great
:29:15. > :29:16.chance now to take the lead for the first time in this match. He has
:29:17. > :30:11.been playing catch up every time. The break goes to 31. Getting closer
:30:12. > :30:17.to the winning line now in this frame. Lots of good pots but
:30:18. > :30:22.Melbourne is a winning frames the first visit. -- but no one is
:30:23. > :30:45.winning frames. The kick on the shot similar to this
:30:46. > :30:51.in the previous frame but did not cost him the frame. I thought he
:30:52. > :31:04.played on and off the cushion. That would have been the obvious shot.
:31:05. > :31:09.Again, he has missed frame ball. That is three frames in a row. Not
:31:10. > :31:17.playing the black off the cushion, Stephen. I can only presume he is
:31:18. > :31:23.playing the percentage shot. Not risking bouncing off the cushion or
:31:24. > :31:29.hitting it too hard. That is a poor miss. At the World Championship, you
:31:30. > :31:38.have to take advantage of your opponents's misses. At least 70%
:31:39. > :31:42.-80% of the time, if you want to win this tournament.
:31:43. > :31:50.(APPLAUSE) . That was the frame ball. 51 point
:31:51. > :31:58.in front now. They obviously could tie but he will be pushing the
:31:59. > :32:02.colour safe here. It looks perfect, just to push the brown safe but he
:32:03. > :32:12.is thinking of putting the black safe. White? I do not know. It is
:32:13. > :32:15.amazing. At times like these, players tend to outthink
:32:16. > :32:28.themselves. I agree with you, really. Push the brown on the side.
:32:29. > :32:30.And the black is not safe so there is no advantage in that shot
:32:31. > :33:15.whatsoever. I am not too sure whether Judge can
:33:16. > :33:31.miss the red on the pink spot taking the spot on. -- Judd. Excellent
:33:32. > :33:40.shot. He probably wishes he put it safe now because even if he hits it,
:33:41. > :33:47.he will do well not to leave a pot. The brown being safe on the brown
:33:48. > :34:06.cushion now would have been a real bonus. Would you risk playing this
:34:07. > :34:11.red? At think you pick an angle of two cushions, near the pink. It is
:34:12. > :34:21.almost impossible to miss them both if they come off to cushions. What
:34:22. > :34:26.Stephen is that, he could leave this thread on, and he has done and he
:34:27. > :34:29.can get to the black with power but thread on, and he has done and he
:34:30. > :34:34.it makes the red a lot tougher, look thread on, and he has done and he
:34:35. > :34:45.at the angle. It is not fancy it. -- he does not fancy it.
:34:46. > :35:06.It is tough to get on the black from the angle he has on the red.
:35:07. > :35:30.(APPLAUSE) .
:35:31. > :35:39.This is one of those where you have to hit and hope. I do not think you
:35:40. > :35:46.can hit this to save the start. In our hazard the four points. He
:35:47. > :35:51.forgets on the lack of this log pot, there will be no problems. The black
:35:52. > :35:53.will be back on the same spot. This could be a real turning point in
:35:54. > :36:20.this match. . One. He needed another foot of
:36:21. > :36:25.pace to play the pink. Ideally, he would have liked to get onto the
:36:26. > :36:35.black. The red along the cushion is not easy. Good pot. I wonder whether
:36:36. > :36:46.he will go for the black, pink or blue. That last red, it is not easy
:36:47. > :36:56.to get on the pink. You would play for the black, Stephen? I think that
:36:57. > :37:01.pink is OK. You can play it into the middle which is not too difficult to
:37:02. > :37:05.get on the yellow but if you finish straight, it could create problems.
:37:06. > :37:44.I think pink is not a bad ball to playful. -- playing for. This is
:37:45. > :37:45.another great opportunity. They actually did it a black off the
:37:46. > :38:04.final frame to win. -- need. Even more reasons he should
:38:05. > :38:27.have gone for the black. This will hurt. Just a few inches to get onto
:38:28. > :38:54.the ground. -- brown. That was careless. Does he played us
:38:55. > :39:23.of two cushions on the right-hand side? -- play this off.
:39:24. > :40:20.He had toured three chances, but it was brilliant. -- two or.
:40:21. > :40:27.I must admit, I thought that Judd had passed up a chance to pinch that
:40:28. > :40:45.frame when he went into that corner. Here is that pink again.
:40:46. > :40:54.I totally agree with Stephen in the studio. There is got to be something
:40:55. > :40:59.somewhere... You've talked about in commentary earlier today. He's had
:41:00. > :41:03.three chances and three times he's missed it comes he must be paying
:41:04. > :41:07.too much attention to the school the time. You've got to look at the
:41:08. > :41:12.scoreboard, but maybe sometimes you want to take the pressure off by not
:41:13. > :41:21.looking for a while. We were saying how talented Ryan Day is, but he is
:41:22. > :41:26.not perhaps the success his talent deserves. That's what separates the
:41:27. > :41:42.great from the good, you have to be able to deal with pressure. He just
:41:43. > :42:05.lacking that little bit of killer instinct.
:42:06. > :42:19.It's not on from the right-hand side is the Raiders the way. -- because
:42:20. > :42:29.the red is in the way. You can play a safety shot instead getaway with
:42:30. > :42:56.it. Maybe he is trying to wrest... Foul.
:42:57. > :43:15.He is going to have to play cannon an honour -- on the two reds above
:43:16. > :43:22.this. There is an example of what we were talking about. He's just got a
:43:23. > :43:26.little bit of clincher is disease at the moment, Ryan. He is no these got
:43:27. > :43:41.an opportunity and he gets a little anxious. -- he knows he has. I would
:43:42. > :44:04.have played the Canon are different way, often the right. It might drift
:44:05. > :44:13.of orbit. -- the cannon a different. The backspin on that cueball. He's
:44:14. > :44:24.hitting the ball really well today. A different player completely to his
:44:25. > :44:37.first-round match. Judd Trump was so poor compared with standards, but
:44:38. > :44:40.today he is doing much better. On those you, doesn't it? When you know
:44:41. > :44:46.it's a cushion that a little bit inconsistent. Sometimes you start
:44:47. > :45:07.playing for those bounces and then you don't get them. Eight frames, of
:45:08. > :45:21.course, in this session. Ryan Day has missed so many pressure balls in
:45:22. > :45:45.the scam... -- this game. I used always have to set myself targets
:45:46. > :45:50.sessions. 6-2 is the ideal target. So much work on the cueball. And it
:45:51. > :46:10.still got enough power to get through the Reds a second time. He
:46:11. > :46:16.could play one in the corner. Most players would have rolled that in.
:46:17. > :46:35.If he's got an option, you will never see Judd Trump play topspin.
:46:36. > :47:00.Why wouldn't you, the way he hits the ball sometimes? That is a tough
:47:01. > :47:03.shot. No problem. Seeing how he plays when he is in form, it's hard
:47:04. > :47:10.to believe he hasn't won more than he has. But shot selection is still
:47:11. > :48:09.a little bit raw at times. Two more reds, two killers, and he
:48:10. > :49:34.will lead 4-2. The Dan at 76. Once again, Ryan Day
:49:35. > :49:43.has missed easy balls. -- broke down. The final frame of this
:49:44. > :50:11.session. Head up in the air there, he knows
:50:12. > :51:11.he missed that. Look where the cueball is, perfect.
:51:12. > :51:17.Another most safety shot from Ryan Day. His got the black in the
:51:18. > :51:22.corner, and the way he is at the moment I expect him to take it on.
:51:23. > :51:29.Trying to hit the red half ball there, not the black, but... The
:51:30. > :51:41.blacks going to be tied up after it spotted. Chances of screwing quite
:51:42. > :51:54.heavily. He is looking exceptional now. That's more like the Judd Trump
:51:55. > :51:56.these people have come to see. They've been entertained greatly
:51:57. > :52:26.this afternoon with some amazing shots.
:52:27. > :52:37.The right-hand corner in a couple of shots time. A chance to score
:52:38. > :52:56.heavily again because the red just above the black will pot.
:52:57. > :53:10.Beautifully played, but once again that question... It bounce a lot
:53:11. > :53:24.more than expected. -- cushion. Up for the blue again. Surprising,
:53:25. > :53:46.bringing another rate into -- red into play there.
:53:47. > :54:05.That's tough. The one below the black. It's possibly a false
:54:06. > :54:16.scoreline, really. This is as good as I've seen Job play this season.
:54:17. > :54:28.-- Judd. I think the blue is from that shot. -- in the way for. So
:54:29. > :54:35.that was a good shot, just a bit unlucky. About six inches short
:54:36. > :54:52.there. He loved to have played the one beside the black. (APPLAUSE)
:54:53. > :55:12.are below the black here. It might have come further down the table. He
:55:13. > :55:21.is dominated it since interval. A different player completely. We
:55:22. > :55:31.often say you can't win the match in the first session. It's going to be
:55:32. > :55:51.a tough game to win from 16 behind. He can do it, though.
:55:52. > :56:01.He might have to use the pack here to sustain the right corner. Not one
:56:02. > :56:38.of his better shots that is played in this break. -- he has.
:56:39. > :57:22.Either the way they've played it or the contact. There, you see,
:57:23. > :57:38.clearly. It left the bed of the table. I think the way he's played
:57:39. > :57:48.after the interval he a century. It's hard to do that where the are,
:57:49. > :58:01.-- reds are, but he's been playing brilliantly. A lot of effort that
:58:02. > :58:10.was to try and move the red. These are going to fly around everywhere.
:58:11. > :58:12.An excellent session of snooker from Judd Trump. Ryan Day must be very
:58:13. > :58:26.disappointed. So its advantage to the Englishman.
:58:27. > :58:28.Judge Tromp going into the second session here at the Crucible later
:58:29. > :58:45.today. Join us to that. -- for.
