True; I did think the time allowance may have played a part but, at the end of the day, he would have been sitting down watching Selby do the work, hoping to pressure him into a mistake resulting in safety play - like both he and Selby did to each other last night. But, as you say, that was the evening session whereas this is the afternoon session.
