Get ready on your red buttons if you're watching on the BBC, 15 mins left until they end this programme, very doubtful they will stay with it.

Laughable anyway his ranking, ronnie would put him to bed with his D game.

Ronnie doesn't have a B game, let alone a D game. He either plays amazingly or he plays likes a cabbage.

Dale was 250/1 at the start of the championship. Juicy odds all the same..

Not on Bet365 - got 400/1

[P.Smith]

He got a cough all of a sudden when 6-2 behind, disgraceful play from him today, slowing the game down, taking 30seconds per shot, not world number 1 behaviour, more like world number 101. Laughable anyway his ranking, ronnie would put him to bed with his D game.

Yeh. I don't think that play benefited him much either tbh. I reckon his attacking game is gonna come out this evening otherwise I think he'll lose.

Enjoyable match here between Hawkins and Dale....... Hawkins has crumbled a bit but it would be nice if he could hang on here to force a decider.

Eurosport luckily is with the match and will stay until the end.

Eurosport is with the match and will stay until the end.

Last resort for me for a few reasons, can't be doing with adverts, and don't like the commentators, plus i like when they go to the Winter Gardens between frames, and the trickshot dude.

[Rocket147]

If Hawkins wins this frame it will be impressive. He must be feeling low having not won a frame for so long.

For me pluses as well as minuses. But they have been doing a lot of coverage this WSC. Much better than the Beeb. And I really like Eurosport for this!

[scottley]

And terrible scheduling which is the worst thing about Eurosport!

[daffie]

Sometimes yeah, but still with some 18 hours each day they far out score the Beeb with televised hours. So IMO very well done.

[cyberheater]

Fantastic. A decider.

Come on Dale. You can do it.

I would still be pleased if Hawkins wins.

[cyberheater]

Does anyone else get a small sense of Frank Spencer with Dominic Dale?

[daffie]

May the best man win...but still huge credit to both players! Come on Dom!

Don't BBC have it on the red button almost all day?
