A great competitor

Fairly cavalier attitude by Ronnie here. Youā€™d hardly see the likes of this in a match fix.

Heā€™s playing appallingly from the bits Iā€™ve watched

From the bits Iā€™ve seen of it, Cahill is handy enough and has a cocky enough air about him. Ronnie will need to buck up in the morning. If he doesnā€™t this is losable. Chance for Ronnie now though for a 5-4 overnight lead.

The disgraced John Higgins has beaten Mark Davis 10-7.

Reckless from Ronnie to take that on. That last red was never going to squeeze past the black. Cahill clears up for a 5-4 overnight lead.

Selby knocks in a 131 to level it up at 5-5. Heā€™s starting to motor now.

7-7 now. Selby almost stole a frame for 8-6.

Big frame there. Selby needed three snookers, got them but played a sloppy shot from green to brown and Zhao won frame with big pots on brown and blue to level it at 7-7.

This kid can pot

Zhao misses a straightforward red to hand the initiative in frame 16 to Selby. The young Chinese tyro is starting to wilt in the Crucible furnace. And itā€™s 9-7 now to the Jester.

David Gilbert leads Gentleman Joe Perry 5-2 on the other table.

Mark Selby wins 10-7 from 1-5 down. He didnā€™t play all that well but that win will do him the world of good and heā€™ll be in the mix.

The longer format games will really suit Selby.

A born winner

Yeah he really grinds down opponents in longer matches.

ronnie losing 7-5 at the moment.

Making a lot of mistakes here too

Oā€™Sullivanā€™s safety play here is all over the shop

AAH its not too bad. the young fellow is playing well to be fair. Ronnie might rue yesterday when it looked like he didnā€™t try.

Ronnie treated his opponent with little enough respect yesterday. I hope he gets his arse handed to him as a result.

jaysus that was a bad miss by ronnie!
