    Maguire (why do I always spell his name Maquire and have to correct it?:() is still fighting away. Great stuff to see. Cracking long pot.

    Yep, fantastic pot, and some lovely shots during this break, so far!

    He's really trying to get something going for himself, grinding out this frame

    All the frame were big ones, but this one is huge. Chance to bring it back to 14-10 and Maguire has a good position too. C'mon you can do it. :)

    See how the reds open up, hopefully in a friendly manner

    Get the points first. As you might just break one or two off the pack in the process. :) Very good chance here imo.

    Edit : I just jinxed him.

    Excellent stuff, still got a game. Maguire needed a bit of luck there but his fighting spirit deserved it. That pink to the middle pocket was an emphatic pot and then he ran out of position ... twice!

    Hopefully Maguire can keep the rhythm going and win the first few frames tomorrow to make a game of it.

    Is it just me or does everyone else hate Ali Carter too? I really dislike his attitude.

    Maguire came back well tonight after going so far back. I hope he beats Carter but I'd love to see Ronnie Winning it out :)

    Yeah Carter is very arrogant. Peter Ebdon is teaching him a few slimey tricks.

    Can't say I watch enough snooker to comment on his attitude but I admire him for battling back after being diagnosed with Crohn's disease. I know a guy who has it and it's ridiculously debilitating. He has to take weeks off from his job every once in a while.

    It's incredible really that Carter has maintained his form while battling this for 9 years. It could well have helped him. Once he knows he can battle the disease anything else seems much more manageable.

    Slimey tricks, wut?

    Stevens gets a frame back. He'll need a couple more frames on the board if we're gonna go into another session. Still fancy Ronnie. A fluke got him that frame.

    I don't think he earned himself too many fans from his press conference after beating Trump. Let himself down a bit.

    I didn't see the last session but it appeared to me that there's no love lost between himself and maguire?

    Think that comeback is on ice now... 14-9 thanks to yet another half-century by Ronnie and a missed pink by Stevens.

    Harsh, but fair, to say that Stevens chucked the last two frames away with those misses - an easy pink into the right centre and then an easy brown into the left centre...

    While I've been rooting for Maguire, you've got to hand it to Ali - he's been playing at an extremely high standard, and he looks very focused. I don't think Maguire has been able to match him at all yet, and it could take a minor miracle for him to get back into the match.

    For all Ali's talk about Judd's flukes, he's had a few outrageous ones here himself. The final red in the 26th frame was very convenient for him, to put it lightly.
