Xu Si leading 1-0. Don't know the break though. He was on 82 with pink and black left then the live scores website just said 1-0.
Maybe he potted both but who knows.

One year ago these two were on planes back home to China after snooker was suspended. No food or toilet facilities on the plane. They then spent 14 days in quarantine hotels. And now the commentators say "they chose not to return for the 2020 World Championship".

When did they change the qualifiers from bo19 to bo11?
I could understand the earlier rounds, but was expecting bo19 for rounds 3 and 4.

Dale leading 1-0. Xu Si will be 2-0 up barring plenty of snookers.

This is quite weird now. Not only do I not have commentary, I don't have any sound at all. Dominic Dale is completely silent. No noise from the arena at all.

According to Eurosport this is 1-0 to Dale. In reality, it's 1-1 to both.

He'd probably still beat Jimmy.
