O'Sullivan takes the first frame of the second session to go up 7-2, with a break of 78 that looked like a maximum attempt early on.
After a relatively poor safety by Ronnie, Ali gets back to the table and pockets a red to begin a break. He attempts the yellow with a bit too much pace and that missed shot ends it at 12.
Ronnie levels it at 12 and takes the lead with another red. After reaching 18 points, he plays a good safety into the baulk. Carter escapes and the Rocket responds with another safe shot.
One more Ronnie safety and Carter finds one long red to pot to begin a new break.Last edited by TheStranger; 4 May 2008, 07:30 PM."And I'd give him my right arm to have his cue action - poetry in motion."

As for the match, its over already really. Ali can only hope to make the score respectable but that might mean only get 5 or 6 frames on the scoreboard. He looks nervous and under pressure, personally I think tommorow can't come quick enough for him. He'll be lucky to win a couple of frames tonight after the start he's made so far.

He's just missing balls now he would normally have got before the final! He looks so uncomfortable out their but it's not surprising in a way considering the circumstances"Statistics won't tell you much about me. I play for love, not records."
