Xiao was commentating on Zhao's match earlier. His analysis is superb.
He mentioned he'd only be commentating on the morning session as he would be practicing later.
Said that some of the British players have a very lax approach to the games. Murphy even commentating the same day he's playing. He said he'd never let commentary interfere with his games.

Murphy needs to learn from him. Do you have any video links of him commentating?

Thanks :) it does seem to be working but whenever I try and forward it goes back to the beginning so I'll have to be patient and watch it all the way from the beginning.

John has gone 3-1 up. Playing well. Xiao started well, but went off the boil a tad.
