00:22The referee can there, Julian Bevel,
00:26the man in charge with the camera.
00:31Just to recap, if you're just joining the coverage,
00:34it started with a 1-4-1 break from Mark Williams,
00:37then four frames in a row were won by Judd Trump.
00:41He didn't make any big breaks, a 52 and a 75,
00:43but it was high-quality match play,
00:45and Williams potted three balls during that period of time.
00:49Since then, Judd, who's scored 15 points in the last two frames,
00:54Williams with breaks of 53 and 105.
00:58So we're not seeing like a barrage of breaks.
01:01We've seen two centuries,
01:02but what we are seeing is the highest class of all-round play,
01:06match play, good safety, tactical,
01:09and some break building when the table has not always been that easy.
01:14Balls have not always been in very simple positions.
01:21All right, all right.
01:22Let's의 going.
02:56Once again, another fine safety shot.
04:09I mean, the standard of long podding has been pretty good.
04:12Williams has been exceptional.
04:14The trumpet for one must have thought he kind of, if you like, broken the back of the match, but
04:19clearly not so.
04:22He's been made to work for every point he earns.
05:30Well, I don't know if he's quite in the position he wanted to be here.
05:45There is a red in the middle of the bunch, but it's quite a stretch, this.
05:47It's quite a stretch, not easy, not comfortable on the shot, but he's played it really well.
05:54Six.
05:55Very good.
05:57So now he's got the chance in first and it's been a question of who gets in early as invariably
06:04won the frame so far.
06:4613.
06:4713.
07:07Yes, played on the pink to middle and, of course, in potting that he'll just move the other red slightly
07:12away.
07:1213.
07:17Out of harm's way, which makes the pink more accessible.
07:21And quite honestly, he's done a lot of good work here to make this break the kind of chance it
07:26is.
07:28A lot of reds in open play now.
07:4021.
07:4121.
07:4222.
07:5422
07:5924.
08:0026.
08:0027.
08:0126.
08:0128.
08:0228.
08:16well
08:17he's on a red but he's not
08:18really as straight on it as he'd like to have been
08:21now he's kind of going away down the
08:23table on it
08:28cube all up
08:30to the blue or beyond
08:3329
08:53that's well played
08:55again across
08:57onto the red that goes
08:5832 past the others there
09:02good cable
09:0733
09:27sort of break where almost every shot is
09:4041
09:52so two more
09:55reg an open play
09:57which would not be enough to take him over the line
09:59we need a little bit more than that
10:0547
10:28just looking at c
10:3154
10:3254
10:32what goes to the right corner basically from that left side
10:35of those three reds
10:4155
10:46it's almost crunch time now
10:47I think he believes that
10:50the top red would go
10:51the top red would go but it's a very precise place just below where the black is
11:11well it's a very comfortable shot from where he is even if the red does go
11:1462
11:16and there's 75 on still so he'll need a colour with this red if he can actually pop the red
11:22in the first place
11:24he's on it but not particularly well
11:38might play the red to the left corner down the cushion here instead but it's miscible
11:5763
11:5963 the lead
12:04and the break
12:0767 on so
12:09I don't know here whether he tries to pot a colour or he puts a colour onto the cushion
12:13that would make things difficult
12:15for instance if he was to roll the black onto the side cushion
12:19then
12:19it would be hard to think that
12:21Williams could
12:21take the frame
12:26and he's playing it to the middle pocket
12:31great shot
12:33brilliant
12:3970
12:47that was an outstanding break of 70 from
12:49Doug Trump
12:5070
12:51he really was and Williams needs one snooker to win
13:23so
13:32and
13:40so
13:50there's a lot of
14:09he's chasing one snooker
14:11to win
14:12providing that he can put five reds and blacks
14:14with the other reds
14:17anything but easy
14:19there's one red
14:22he's thrown to the black
14:23that was a brilliant shot actually
14:44eight
15:06nine
15:30six
15:46seventeen
15:51well he's making something
15:54possible here
15:55if he can pop this black
15:57another red and the black
15:58he could still win this frame with the snooker
16:00he's not given up yet Williams
16:04he's gone a fraction too far there though
16:06for comfort
16:08twenty four
16:15he needs to pot a black with this red you see
16:17that's the problem
16:18then he could win with the snooker
16:20and he's got to play it gently
16:22and with lots of side
16:25he's going to have to take a pink
16:26twenty five
16:27scupper things a little bit
16:29for now
16:31so now he
16:34he uh
16:34if he pops this pink it'd be one snooker to tie
16:38rather than to win
16:50thirty two
17:02mark Williams
17:03thirty two
17:04brilliant break that
17:05it's only thirty two
17:06but it was very well played
17:09it's
17:11brought some life back into a frame
17:13which seemed to be
17:13going the way of
17:15judge Trump
17:17it still may do
17:18but all of a sudden
17:19he's got to think about it
17:20and work hard for it from here
17:23he's in a snooker
17:25I mean he can't afford
17:26to leave the free ball
17:27you get the feeling
17:28it's a snooker you'll hit
17:30because it's quite a big target
17:35it's very good
17:49what if he'll play to wriggle the red away from the pocket here
17:54yeah that's what he played
17:55and played it well
17:59it's a terrific shot
18:01it's one of those where the crowd sometimes groan
18:04and as if to say well he's missed an easy one
18:06but he didn't go for the pot
18:07and he'll see
18:30and he'll see
19:08I'm going to get a snooker and at this level the player's going to miss them. They're going to be
19:11real taxing snooker.
19:52I'm going to get a snooker.
20:06I'm going to get a snooker.
20:54I'm going to get a snooker.
21:17Yes, I mean, he's got the snooker which helps really when your opponent's chasing one and he's in one himself.
21:28And he's got one back there somehow.
21:30Well, that's a ticklish one actually because the bump of the middle pocket's slightly in the way of hitting this
21:36on the left side.
21:41I think he can probably go further down the cushion than the middle pocket, but not by much.
21:50It's just a one cushion escape.
21:51It can sometimes be a little tricky.
21:54But the players are not really missing snookers these days at all unless they're horrible.
22:00I'm going to get a snooker.
22:05I'm going to get a snooker.
22:11I'm going to get a snooker.
22:12I'm going to get a snooker.
22:15I'm going to get a snooker.
22:29I'm going to get a snooker.
22:43yes that's the point
22:44one snooker to tie
22:46there is no reason why he shouldn't take the red
22:48and the black, he doesn't have to keep the red on the table
22:50it's only points where you need
22:52two or three snookers where you're looking
22:54for the free ball on the red
22:56that you would leave it on the table
22:58I think he's done the right thing
23:03whether he can get one on the colour
23:04is another matter, but I tell you
23:06that is a very good shot
23:08that is a brilliant shot
23:10now he can
23:11in fact I'll be almost certain that
23:14Trump's in a snooker here
23:18Mark Williams
23:19I think he'll hit it, but he's still going to do it
23:40at the moment every snooker he's been put in
23:42is making very good contact with
23:45hitting a lot of them
23:46not just glancing off
23:49the object, but he's hitting it squarely
24:03it's a great effort isn't it
24:05but not there
24:06he's been really made to fight for this frame
24:09Trump, he got in early don't forget
24:10made that
24:13substantial break
24:17but this man is just battling all the way
24:22to God
24:30this man
24:32and
24:33again
24:33very grateful
24:33to myself
24:35thank you
24:42please
24:48please
24:49it
25:49Within the frame, but Mark Williams has really pushed him here.
25:53It's been an outstanding game.
25:54It's not over yet, you feel.
26:01No.
26:11Fourteen.
26:21Fourteen.
26:2220 well that was a kind of vicious shot wasn't it
26:37what a friend of snooker that was
26:39Judd Trump with 70
