Can Causier do the double?

It'll be close I'd say. Just a shame neither of last years finalists are there this time. Obviously Russell's absence is a different set of circumstances to Advani.

Causier leading 522-388 but Gilchrist on a break at the moment (just past the half century mark)

Not got time to watch really, just dipping in and out, but streaming working well at the moment

Now Gilchrist leads 840-687 at the interval, play resumes at 5 pm

Final

Peter Gilchrist (Singapore) 1500 - 1085 David Causier (England)
