Ratchayothin Yotharuck v James Wattana

and only 1 of those matches will be streamed what makes World Snooker to show Hammad Miah v Michael Leslie ill never know.

Must have picked it out of a hat...

Would have liked to see the Thai derby, myself.

I'd have had Pagett vs Walker over Miah vs Leslie too.

Robin's performance so far against Brown makes me wonder how he could lose to Andreas Ploner in Riga...

Hammad Miah 0-1 Michael Leslie

Joel Walker game was starting to come together last season but so far this season hes not been able to push on.

Max alert Robin Hull, on 80 now...

147 alert Robin Hull, 10 reds, 10 blacks.

Hull on a max, on 80...

Misses on 88

Robin Hull making light work of Oliver Brown now leading 4-1

Missed a cannon into a red on 88 and had to try a difficult thin cut to middle and missed. Nevertheless superb play so far leading Oliver Brown 4-1 with breaks og 65, 117, 55 and 88.

Drago struggling v Saif, took the fourth on the black.

Donaldson 3-1 down to Jamie Rhys Clarke...

Had a promising start to the season but has some bad losses in recent tournaments.

Saif makes a 59 break, must be one of his highest as a pro?

Ratchayothin Yotharuck has beaten his illustrious compatriot James Wattana before in the Indian Open last season so he wont be overawed to complete the job leading 3-2 at the moment

Haotian first man through this session, beating Melling 5-1.
