No one is interrupting any breaks, you poster numpties

Mark King conceded after Kyren had potted a ball to win the match earlier today so was on a break, so not the situation you describe, which is when Yates mentioned it. The point is he said it was “the new rule which I don’t like, that you can concede when your opponent is at the table.”

I didn’t fully understand it because it does happen anyway occasionally but then why the rule change? Do players usually get warned for it? Maybe Andre can shed some light.

Group 1 on Friday has Judd Trump, Mark Selby, Zhou Yeulong and Zhao Xintong

Now that’s how you steal a group!

Ken Doherty takes a 2-1 lead on Jordan Brown with a 139 break, eclipsing Thep’s 135 and guaranteeing himself top of the table as a draw would now be enough to see him through (he and Thep would be equal on points, frames and H2H).

Yes Ken

And Ken’s 139 proved crucial because Jordan Brown won the next frame in one visit!

It may not be the best format, but it’s still snooker and can still throw up some great stories

So there was a frown for Jordan Brown?

Love it.

Three commentators in the Higgins match. Weird.

Happened again, Clarke conceded while Higgins was in the middle of a (small) break.

Probably what happened was, it was supposed to be Yates and Doherty. But Murphy couldn't wait to give his opinion on something and muscled in.

Murphy has at least dispensed with the weird upwards inflection he was using in his BBC commentary.
