    Can't believe a pro the calibre of Anthony McGill could play two basic pots and leave them short of the pocket, as he's done today. Shocking, really.

    Higgins misses a simple green on other table, gifting match to Zhou. Higgins not at races at all today.

    Actually turning out to be a not bad tournament for the chinese. If Xiao beats lisowski tomorrow, which is eminently possible, they'd be guaranteed two semi finalists which is fair going considering the big guns like Ding and Yan departed early.

    Couldn't believe that Green. Zhou was wobbling I thought if Higgins won that frame Zhou could fold.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    Yeah, heard ken afterwards, incredulous the way higgins played it, rolling it instead of stunning. Shouldn't have missed it anyway but that made it a bit more missable. Zhou played well but i thought he might wobble too. At 1-4 higgins had got the snooker he needed on the blue only then to stick the pink up over corner pocket. It was just that type of match.

    Haven't seen that Bulgarian referee Proletina the last while - maybe she's retired...

    Selby v Hawkins should be good one. Plus could last as long as a first to 10 :D

    A good interview with Rachel earlier on with Mark and Barry. 9-8 to the jester in the head to head. First we're seeing of Hawkins, and aside from the first frame he's not done a lot wrong. Needs a run to get back into top 16.

    Fairly tense the last half an hour of this match. Hawkins not out of it. If he could get this frame he’s back in the match at 5-4. Problem in this frame is the balls are awkward and Selby has a small lead, he’s definitely second favourite.

    Selby be in his element here; the way the balls are, and with his massive lead.

    Hawkins has to be about 18/1 to win from here.

    Ricky losing a frame he should have bagged 15 minutes previously, early days but doesn't bode well.

    Started to take his chances anyway, kind of typical once match had got away from him. Be interesting if he did get back to one or even level.

    Really strange match. Judd thunders in a screaming red only then to miss a pretty easy brown. Ricky still just about in it.

    Poor safety shot on red - looks like curtains now for Ricky.

    It was scrappy, not his most fluent. Ricky made it respectable but not sure he turned up fully believing he could compete. Too tentative when he had chances early on.

    I'll find it very hard to choose what to watch between Selby vs Robertson and Trump vs Wilson tomorrow night.

    Good luck with that. It's the same tournament every week in the same place with the players subject to the same covid mania restrictions. Hard to get any enthusiasm from me or from them.

    Can't believe Selby played that plant. It was no more obvious than your average pack.

    Was a poor shot from Selby to canon black and lose position. Would have been 3-3 even though he's been well outplayed.
