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