00:00I used to say they won't be beaten tonight, the way they're playing.
00:03So, terrific game.
00:05This battle of two great left-handers.
00:0814-8 on the head-to-heads.
00:11Here's how it stands from previous encounters,
00:13including big finals.
00:15In Saudi,
00:18the Ali Pali, the Masters.
00:21Trump has won both of those, but Williams has had his share
00:25of seismic wins.
02:01It's a quality shot.
02:02I don't think he would have played behind the brown, quite honestly.
02:04I think he would have played to the bulk cushion.
02:08But even then, he still played it quite nicely.
02:11Kubel got round the angles.
05:06Well, if he's got to go all around the angles playing it with his right hand, he's in a bit
05:09of trouble.
05:10He's playing in and out of bulk, so it's hard to direct this shot as he'd like to.
05:19When we get to see where the balls land, let's see if he's left things safe.
05:26I think that was a pretty amazing escape, so he's playing it with his wrong hand.
05:34You can't even see your target ball, you can't even see your target ball because you're looking in the other
05:37direction.
05:51Williams just play the feather into the reds there.
05:55I think much happened.
06:12Yeah.
06:14Yeah.
06:15Yeah.
06:17With the extension, yeah.
06:18Yeah.
06:19Yeah.
06:23Yeah.
06:34Yeah.
06:36Yeah.
06:38Yeah.
06:41Yeah.
06:51Yeah.
06:52Yeah.
07:08Pretty high standard of play, isn't it?
07:11Not only the breaks, namely that 1-4-1 from Williams,
07:14but just the overall level of safety is of the highest quality.
07:33So that i think we have covered this with Cadillac.
08:53He was steering the cue ball back, which he's played both parts of the shot as well
08:57as you could ever wish to see.
08:58Now, however, there's no pot on because he steered the cue ball nicely.
09:04He's got a tickle in behind yellow and he got there because the other day, even though
09:12he won 6-0, there was a moment in that match where he tried to roll up behind the green
09:16and didn't reach against Joey Long.
09:18He didn't make a lot of difference.
09:20He won all of the frames, but that was the one shot that sticks in my mind that he didn't
09:25get right.
10:41Well, this time something they had to give, and it is a mistake from Williams.
10:44Judd Trump.
10:45The miss will not be taken because the red is available to the left corner, and it's
10:52almost something had to, someone had to blink first, really, just the way that the two frames
11:00have been highest of quality.
11:17One.
11:19Nice to get that little nudge off the red and the black and finished on the pink.
11:22OK.
11:22I think that's OK.
11:24Thanks.
11:36OK.
11:37I think that's OK.
11:39OK.
11:40OK.
11:41OK.
11:41OK.
11:43OK.
12:25Eight.
12:52Well, the atmosphere is very quiet, very serene in the international centre.
12:59The spectators are pretty engrossed by these early frames, I think.
13:08Probably a second right-handed shot in succession here.
16:4259
16:4860
16:50Yes, you just check the scores
16:52You'll know this is frame ball
16:53But as we always say, I think a ball after it
16:56Certainly a red
16:58After it
16:58Will clinch the frame
17:0467
17:0868
17:14Now it's a question of whether he makes a century or not
17:16To
17:18To back up what his opponent did in the first frame
17:2575
17:31That was never there
17:32But it won't matter
17:3475
17:35Was more than enough
17:36And Mark Williams will stay in his chair
17:39myself
17:39Trump lost the first
17:40He's won the next two
17:42And he leads
17:422-1
