Ali Carter v Judd Trump

[cueman]

Bad start for Ali, that missed red is likely to knock anyones confidence. He needs to clear up in one visit now. We're getting into the business end now this week and you aren't going to get too many chances each frame. Trump looks like he's coming into his peak form now. Tournament favourite and I think justifiably so.

wow

judd missed and left nothing on by splitting the pack

how must be ali feeling

[cueman]

Good 70 break there from Carter, good to see he's got his game head on today. I thought after that miss first frame and then the leave that Trump gave him after he missed that he'd start his John Parrot impression.

Attention please!

C'mon Trump. Make the game proud!!!!

[cueman]

great attempt at a maximum. Potted so many great blacks early on and if ever an effort deserved a max that was it.

Come on Carter. You can still come back and beat this arrogant tw*t

[Ronnie's tip]

Carter's done better than I thought he would (think I predicted a 13-6 scoreline) but ultimately he doesn't have the game to beat Trump. He doesn't score heavily enough.

Good mini-session. Really looking forward to the final now. Let's see if Carter can claw his way back into the tie.

Does anyone remember when the BBC commentary team used to do interesting skits about snooker? This pub quiz is as boring as hanging around in a party sober throughout.

Good break Judd, done the job today so far!!

Note to more cautious players, look what Ali did there with the pack shot, great shot, deserves the frame, done himself proud whatever happens this match!!

[breakman16]

The balls are decent too. . .

[breakman16]

Great effort Ali, a certain scot will be pleased!!!

Great effort Ali, a certain scot will be pleased!!!

Stephen Hendry must thank me on private.
If I was watching Stevens v Hawkins, there would already be two maximums in that match.
