ENJOY!

[Odrl]

Nice effort with the pictures.

A good start for Li Hang against Murphy, a break of 91. He still has a theoretical chance of beating a World champion in every round. It would be Doherty/Dott/Murphy, followed by Higgins in the QF, either Robertson or Ebdon in the SF, and then Hendry in the final.

[FOXMULDER]

latest scores:

Murphy 1-2 Lang
Robertson 0-2 Ebdon
Day 1-2 Lee
Trump 3-0 Davis

[spike]

Robertson looking out of sorts, with Ebdon dictating the pace to suit his game. Early stages in the third frame, but Ebdon in again and on a break of 28..

[Odrl]

Li Hang leads Murphy 3-1 at the interval. He's played well, with a couple of mistakes here and there, while Murphy has been pretty mediocre so far.

[FOXMULDER]

4-0 to Ebbo!

Looks like RObertson has a bogey man.

[Caroline]

Come on Peter!

I know he always wants to do well in China.

[Odrl]

Murphy has found his game after the interval, two good breaks and it's 3-3.

[Masterdoctorgenius]

again after beating ronnie ryan is on the way back home
ronnie is no testing benchmark nowadays

[Odrl]

Murphy is in the balls, with a chance to win the match. This is where I have to leave it unfortunately...

[leeroygor]

does anyone have a live stream for the higgins match?/

[jrc750]

Well Hendry should of been 3-1 up there, but instead gives it away so 2-2 at interval

A bit off topic, but I'm watching a Eurosport feed and I am convinced that the commentators (Joe Johnson and someone else) aren't actually in China, and are in a studio somewhere else like the UK.

Does anybody know if this is the case?

My issue is the fact that they pretend to be in the arena with lines such as "can't quite see from our commentary position"

[Giggity1984]

Looks like a sloppy frame!

Eurosport commentators are never in the arena - same with crucible and BBC events in addition to the China Open, Shanghai Masters etc.
