Ebdon was very unlucky there, great snooker, deserved a better result.

[PaulTheSoave]

What an unbelievable in off Ebdon got. perfect snooker on the black and then the white going into the left middle pocket and frame to tatters!

[hegeland]

Yes, even stoneface Ebdon looked a bit stunned there! Bet he got a bit of deja vu back to another match? Anyone knows which will get a golden star in my book!

[PaulTheSoave]

Looks another pounding coming on! 3-0! luvely jubely

[spike]

Get ready for a counter attack from Ebdon!

Swimmer front crawling back

The Shotgun fires first blood but the swimmer crawls back to trail 3-1

[TheStranger]

Ebdon just knocked in a century on the 9th frame of his match against Jamie Cope, ending the session only a frame behind the upstart.

Swail wins the last 5 frames after the interval and takes a good lead overnight against stephen lee, which resumes tommorow night

So after the first 2 sessions of this morning and this afternoon we have

Peter Ebdon (Eng) 4-5 Jamie Cope (Eng)

Neil Robertson (Aus) 7-2 Nigel Bond (Eng)

John Higgins (Sco) 7-2 Matthew Stevens (Wal)

Stephen Lee (Eng) 2-7 Joe Swail (NI)

Outlaw gunning down Bakery

Swail enjoyed his performance against the Baker this afternoon. It's as if he was shooting down the whole establishment in those last 5 frame

[TheStranger]

The 12th frame of Higgins-Stevens has seen some fast rebounds off the right rail, resulting in positional problems for both players near the bottom cushion.

[PaulTheSoave]

Update

Stevens has clawed back to 7-4! And in amongst the balls.
Come on Mat, TheSoave is on your side tonight!

Carter going down 3-0.

[PaulTheSoave]

Swail is really a Crucible player, i dont know where he gets it from but feels like hes been there for 3 decades. I bet Stella147 will be chuffed!

5-7 now, Stevens - Higgins.

7-5 now in the higgins match. all to play for

barry hawkins has made a solid start in his match and "looks" to be going 4-0 up.

Good fight from Matthew Stevens! 5-7 it is.
