At the moment it looks like Neil can't miss anything... 8-8
and wow a 140 on for Neil still Got it! wow!!!

What a great advantage it is for Neil to level with Ronnie now and go to their last session with having already won one session today!

Hopefully the last session will turn into the great match we were all expecting after the two first frames!

Ronnie O'Sullivan v Neil Robertson 8-8

Finished off with a great break of 140

I reckon robertson is favourite now,I backed ronnie to win it but not to confident now that he can get through.I hope i,m wrong but to lose a 6-2 lead is a big blow.

I'm back from Sheffield after watching three sessions over the weekend including the first session of ROS v Robertson yesterday. Today I am stuck in the university library trying to work whilst constantly checking for BBC Sport updates, because live streaming doesn't work on this connection. Seems that BBC aren't too good at updating the scores - I heard that it's 8-8 here first. Is it still 8-4 between Selbo and Ebbo?

On an unrelated matter mentioned briefly in this thread, I noticed three fire engines with flashing lights outside the stage door when on my way to the station last night, but it seems that the place didn't get evacuated? Was it just that the fire alarm got set off?

Maybe just someone announced that Stephen Maguire was in the building?

8-5 now. "He [Ebdon] is moving along at his normal pace, two pots per minute." Why don't you try the live score over at WSA or the Global Snooker Centre?

The fire alarm did go off, but the building wasn't evacuated, something I find totally irresponsible, but hey, they're just snooker fans

9-5 to Selby, wheeeeehheeeeee as well. What a great morning this is snookerwise, wish I were there....

[andy_drake]

Live scoring has certainly come on a bit since when I last used it! It's becoming quite a morning, shame I'll miss most of tonight - may have to make do with the highlights. I'm glad I didn't pay £10 to see this afternoon's session though!

Probably Ricard Beare calling out:

Stephen Maguire! The building is on fire!!

Maybe just someone announced that Stephen Maguire was in the building?

What do people reckon for the rest of the tournament now? I think the winner will come from the John Higgins vs Ronnie O'Sullivan quarter-final. Both players are on good form and it should be a cracking match.

Any thoughts?

I think someone is counting their chickens a little bit early. I think Maguire, Stevens, Carter and Robertson might have something to say about that!

I expect the winner of Ronnie vs Robertson to go over Higgins and remain the top favourite for the title. Though carter was impressive yesterday so he could eventually be the surprise

[Ginger Freak]

6-9 now between Ebdon and Selby.

I do hope Ronnie finds his touch again tonight, nothing against Robertson but I will be in Sheffield for the next two days to watch the quater final between Higgins and Ronnie/Neil and I've had my heart set on a Ronnie-Higgins match since I got the tickets!

PS, who else will be in the arena for that match?

[Ginger Freak]

Not looking too good for Ebdon, 10-6 to Selby at the end of the session.

[Mitsuko]

Selby got 3 centuries in a row

[Ginger Freak]

In all the excitement of Hendry's 'comeback' it seems to have slipped us by that Higgins won through with a 13-4 scoreline!
