12-11 assured and the chance of a really big break here.
Ding with a break of 117 cuts the deficit to 11-12.
Last frame of the night coming up.
Massive frame coming up.
To use a humorous and original quip I just made up now, this is is ding-dong.
One would have to say the next frame is very important.
One will likely be able to say that at least 50 times over the next few days.
Very nervy start to this frame.
Chance Ding…
And a miss.
Selby fouls the black!
40 minute frame coming up here methinks.
Ding getting very aggresive now.
This would be great on radio.
Snooker is is a sport that’s particularly suited to radio commentary, I feel.
But it’s great on telly too.
Ding’s cue ball positioning is like Chinese government relations with Donald Trump - total control over the white.
Parity is assured.
It’ll be 12-12 heading into a box office final session tomorrow afternoon.
Another century (128) from Ding to leave it at 12-12 at the end of the third session. They play to a finish Saturday afternoon.
Richly deserved standing ovation for the gladiators from the always knowledgeable Crucible patrons.
Compelling session of snooker.
Should be a great finale tomorrow.
Wakey wakey guys.
Just over an hour until our bhoy is back on the baize. Get your breakfast into ye.
The man who has the very imaginative nickname of “the Hawk” has taken the morning’s first frame to reduce his deficit on John Higgins to 10-7.
Hawkins has taken the opener this morning. He’s now 10-7 behind.
Hon John
Time is the Dinger back out lads?
