61.At the crucible how many countries have been represented???

[Monique]

Can you please be a bit more specific?

In the context of this question are Scotland and England different countries? or is it just UK?
And what about Hong Kong? It's now part of China, but it wasn't a few years ago...

Frame 3: 72-33. Davis made 24, including two fluked reds, and led 54-31 on colours.
Frame 4: 58-51. There was some clever snookering, but the only one to yield points was when Davis escaped but went in-off. Davis led 36-10 when Newman made 36. Newman led 46-36 on colours. Newman took yellow and green but Davis played a sharp swerve to pot the brown and form there cleared to black.

Frame 10: not reported. 8-2
14 February [48230]
Frame 11: 68-37. A close game until Newman suffered from luck. He went in-off blue and later red; later missing object ball altogether. Davis led 54-27 on colours; Newman was unlucky to go in-off yellow.
Frame 12: 68-43. Davis made 23 and Newman 21. Newman made a thin cut red but pocketed the pink as well. 43-43 with one red left. Davis took red-brown-yellow to pink.

Frame 14: 80-26. Davis made 38.
Frame 15: 66-62. Davis made 22 and Newman made 16 and 22. Newman took yellow to brown to lead 52-48. Each conceded points on the blue, Newman in going in-off and Davis in failing to escape a snooker. Newman took blue and Davis pink and black. 13-2

15 February [48231]
Frame 21: 48-69. Newman made 29 and 16 and Davis made 13. On the last red, Newman went in-off and the red trickled into the opposite pocket. Newman later fouled the black when snookered on the yellow, after which he led 49-48. Newman then cleared yellow to blue and later took pink.
Frame 22: 64-31. Davis made 22 and 17 and Newman 14. Newman trailed 26-58 but “potted the blue rather unexpectedly – although, in all probability, he was playing a safety stroke at the time” and Davis took pink. Davis achieved a winning lead at 16-6.
