I thought them 2 frames one where Selby needed snookers and then at the end where ding needed them was fantastic. So much Importance with them frames especially if ding had lost that frame where Selby needed snookers. Same if ding had won the last to go one behind. How much of a blow would that been.

Here's a Crucible question of my own to you.

Who is the only player to make a century break in his first frame at the Crucible?

Fergal O’Brien

Yep. That was easy wasn't it.

I should have asked it the other way round. What record does Fergal O'Brien solely hold at the Crucible?

Might have been a bit harder.

Ding is a laser beam into those middle pockets.

We are guaranteed an evening session now

One thing I'd love is to be able to choose different camera views. I'd have the one from the side.

Looks like Selby has forgotten how to pot a ball, very nervy.

National Coughing Day by the sound of it

The audience ruin this event.

Does Dennis like golf?!

If this were a football match, the audience would be chanting 'Are you Thorburn in disguise?' to Selby. The Grinder looks positively exciting next to this guy.


Dear Ding,

Please save snooker by winning this match.

Yours,
The World.

Lifetime smokers. Even the kids.

For the world change it to you and a few others. Last night you were saying how much you were loving it

Get the feeling the crowd are warming towards Ding winning this.

Could be in for a very late finish if the frames continue to be this long.

Excellent steal from Ding

Brilliant this from Ding to be honest with the way he was getting battered at the start yesterday

Brilliant frame from Ding

I do love the tactical side of it, you're absolutely right. I just honestly feel that with Selby it can veer too much to the negative side of the game a bit too often.

But yeah, fair comment in a way. If it was a choice between one visit centuries every frame or this...I'd reluctantly take the grind.

Didn't realise it was 50min frame. Great steal from ding.

Conkers Dingy 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Selby's just throwing it away. Ding's playing very well but Selby's off the boil completely.

Great from Ding - you can see that Selby is looking to take this to the trenches for the rest of the day. That could backfire badly for him tough as Ding looks up for those tactics.

But it was Ding grinding then not Mark

About 7min to win this frame and he's supposed to be slow.
