Dafabet World Championship Qualifying Rnd 2 (10-11th April)

Davis misses but those two reds together to the black cushion are his insurance...

Clever shot from Steve to put the green near the black

Steadman forces Steve to bring at least one red into play.

Steve Davis has this match in the bag craig wont put him away

Pressure might come back on to Steve if he gets to 9-8 or 9-9. Steadman has won most of the tense frames early on.

Snookers needed by Steadman, otherwise it's 9-7.

He still needs 3 frames!

Steadman is struggling now...

Looking at Steadman's play, I have to agree with Wild's prediction now...

Craig is missing a few, this match isn't over yet. If Steve can win this frame then it's anybodies.

Worrying signs for Steadman, he's mishitting every shot at the moment.

Chances of Steadman making even a double figures breaks when in getting slimmer..

Has Sonny fallen asleep? Not seeing anything on SI twitter feed for a while

He hasn't made one since going 9-5 up...

I think he's getting frustrated now, just look at the way he played the green after messing up position on the pink.

I think Steve Davis has just gone favourite in this match. Steadman is rattled and Steve has all the experience in the world.

9-8 barring snookers.

Disaster for Davis!

He gets the snooker!

Craig gets it! Green looks to be a problem though...

But again, Steadman messes up

Good brown under circumstances. 9-8 for real this time.

Yes! Steve takes it.

Great brown from Steve! 8-9

Craig Steadman had a golden chance to win the match there, ok the green and brown were awkward but he should have done better there. Still no break higher than 9 from him since 9-5.

It's not like watching Ronnie, that's for certain.

Davis 11/5 to win match, Steadman 3/10
