What...? not yet, not even close... think you've made a confusion there with Dave.. he's the one 1 nil

Shot Higgins

Good to see this place is still going strong, not checked in here for a long time.

Had forgotten Gilbert needed to re-qualify for the tour last summer, good effort to get this far. Bit of a Doctor Who lookalike I think....

Gould cueing very nicely though.

C'mon Honest John

Liang went around the yellow. Will have to wait a while for his frame winning chance then.

LIANGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Nice safety from Liang-he's learning

Think I'll watch Gilbert vs Gould have a feeling a clearance from Dave is on...

Gilbert chance to steal the 2nd

He gets it! 2-0 Dave

Wonder if Randam's enjoying this...

Not sure how Gould is 2-0 down there. Great start to that match...

Honest John misses the blue! Respot possible...

Gould's 2-o down already??

enjoy the tactical frames as much if not more than the big breaks to be honest.

It has been half an hour...

1-0 Honest John. Liang put up a good fight in the safety stakes but Higgins won it eventually.

It isn't that. I just didn't expect Gilbert to start off so well

I did. Gilbert is quality, really fluent when in the balls. Gould is under more pressure so I've gone for a Gilbert win.

Interesting to see Ben predict 10-5 to Ebdon - he's seen Ronnie at close quarters this week from practicing at Grove.

JV gets a 'where's the cue ball going' right. Has to happen sometime

Will someone please switch that computer screen off! Went off just as Liang was on the shot.

What's that noise? I thought my laptop was acting up again.

wembo's all round game is a bit of a revelation. deserves to be 1-1

That was miles off. Higgins has a chance to steal...

I went for a 1o-4 Gould win, might be the other way round now!

Wenbo looks to be the better player but Higgins will probably clear for 2-0 - typical Higgins.

Well if clears up he deserves it.

3-0 Gilbert

I was hoping Dave would win but wasn't expecting such a good start from. Still sixteen frames to go though.

3-0 Gilbert...
