    Lilley 2 Doherty 0
    - Lilley in control from most of the frame deserved it.

    Shock on the cards now.

    If Ken does not win this year. I wonder will he pull out of the snooker commentary for the regular world championships next season for preparation time?

    Ken absolutely blessed. Lilley choked on simple red, when he had it won in about two/three reds time.

    Ken 63 clearance.

    Lilley 2 - Doherty 1

    Ken broke down at 57 had to try and pot a red with a bit of side as he could not pot it direct.
    Lilley was left in and he scored a fight back clearance.

    Lilley 3 - Doherty 1

    Great pink by Lilley - left himself a right angle pot after not coming far enough up off black cushion, from the blue..

    Even Dennis was getting excited... :pac:

    Straight black, and that was all she wrote for crafty :D

    Hopefully that miscue helps Ken.

    It really should be 2-2.

    Lilley doing well here for a man who's "career highlight" so far is turned professional at 43 :D ... He's 45 now

    And in Ken's box - 1997 World Champion :D

    In again, is Ken... He's gotta capitalise here.... Two tricky reds - well three... Surely he'll not clear up.. Nice pot on the red.. Great cannon on t'red from black..

    Gwan Ken!

    Most def :) Think he was an amateur all his career.... Maybe he used to be a pro 'back in the day' - I don't know..

    I thought it was strange myself when I saw it :D

    Lilley miscue at 20 up - Ken blessed again!
    Ken throwing away his first good chance with an in off following bad positional play.
    But Lilley breaks down after a long red opener initially.

    Ken left right in again - awkward table - with two last reds tight on cushions.
    Sorts the 1st red - safety bout on last red. Ken won the tactical battle.

    Somehow it is Lilley 3 - Doherty 2
    Lilley seems like he is feeling the pressure.

    Lilley has a wiki page anyway -

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Lilley_%28snooker_player%29

    Seemed to have a good amateur career

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Lilley_%28snooker_player%29#Amateur_finals:_12_(5_titles,_7_runners-up)


    I heard Rob Walker introduced him as - '2016 Indian Open Quarter-finalist' (his first ranking tourament as a pro)

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Lilley_%28snooker_player%29

    It took him 30 years to be a pro.

    That was some opening red from Lilley in the previous frame (given the circumstances/quality etc,, ) And then to miss that red with that miscue.. Watching these boys is a good advertisement for just how hard this game is...

    And another great red from David, but no posi.. One point is all he got from it though.... Ken's gotta feel that the nerves are getting to his younger opponent..

    Anyway nerves getting to both lads easy shots missed.
    I think Lilley will make more mistakes and basically help Ken.

    That is my theory anyway.

    His younger opponent :D

    Ken in again surely he will click into survival mode now?

    Feck sake Ken gone for the safety, he will win this frame two pots a visit if he has to.
    But now he has left Lilley in who misses.

    They might as well take the pockets away for a while.

    Ken's too crafty to go for them mid-range straight pots into middle bag from a diagonal type perspective...Runs away with his 13 point lead.. I think Lilley's run out of puff.. Missed that red by some margin.. Ken's to lose, it looks like; as strange as that may seem... Funny old game..

    I've just been on their reading it. I just liked the idea of a randomer deciding to pick it up at that age.

    Ken break to make it 3-3 and I kind of at a loss to explain how. He has been all over the shop.

    Sure it was Dennis that give him not one but two nicknames.
    Darling of Dublin and Crafty Ken

    Years ago on Doherty's wiki page they used to have an asterix beside the nicknames

    *only used by Dennis Taylor

    Always used to make me laugh - easily amused.

    Even Dennis is getting impatient now telling Lilley to clear up, and move on to the next frame.
    He doesn't.
