1 frame for every 10 minutes?

not sure about the length exactly but something like that

The match should have started at 2.30pm. At 2.31 Higginson would have been docked a frame, at 2.46 he would have been docked the 2nd frame, at 3.01 the third frame. He must have been ready for play before 3.16.

Oliver Lines starting his pro career today joining his dad Peter on tour having played in the Australian Open last season as a top up player his only tournament as a Top up player and beating David Grace 5-4 before losing 5-4 to Zhang Anda.

Barry Pinches and Peter Ebdon have been on the Tour since the early 90s but they have played only twice and its 1-1 in head to heads. Barry won their last meeting almost 15 years ago in 1999 in the Last 64 of the Grand Prix.

Good start by James Cahill leading Bingham 62-0 with 67 on the table in frame 1

Bingham missed the final black off its spot to take the opener from 62-8 down left it over the pocket and James Cahill knocked it in to take the opening frame

Stuart Bingham 0-1 James Cahill
Anthony McGill 1-0 Alex Borg
Gary Wilson 1-0 Michael Leslie

once again Cahill breaks down needing 1 ball and once again Bingham fails to take advantage

Cahill 44 up with 35 on the table Bingham playing for snookers and got one

After almost 30 minutes playing for snookers Bingham has got the 3 snookers he needed

but to no avail as Cahil knocks in the final red to take the frame with a break of 17 to lead 2-0

Stuart Bingham 0-2 James Cahill
Anthony McGill 2-1 Alex Borg
Gary Wilson 3-0 Michael Leslie

Anthony McGill 3-3 Alex Borg
Gary Wilson 5-2 Michael Leslie
Alan McManus 3-2 Cao Xinlong

Well done Melling, superbly.

Alex Borg doing well against McGill they have met twice before both in 2007 and both in PIOS Anthony winning both times

Gary Wilson seems to have a good potential, such as Kyren.

if Gary or kyren has as good a season in their second of a 2 year card they will be ranked around 40.

And McGill is showing consistenly his quality. Three young studs, along with Donaldson, that are showing their arguments to do a great season.

Mcmanus being pegged back to 4-4 by Cao XinLong
