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.
