Ronnie O'Sullivan (Eng, 2) v Ryan Day (Wal)

O'Connor 2-6 Wilson

After a frame of safety shots galore, O'Connor takes frame eight.

He establishes a four frame lead over his opponent, with play resuming tomorrow.

Breaks of 50, 105, 71 and 78 have secured some of those frames.

Back to table 2

Wilson leads 5-2 against O'Connor.

And he's closing in on frame eight, if only he will get through some pesky snookers.

Because that's what O'Connor is looking for, and it's all gone a bit cat and mouse on the green.

Bingham 5-3 Lisowski

The standard between Lisowski and Bingham has been incredibly high.

World no17 Lisowski raced ahead with breaks of 82 and 88, 

Then, world no29 won five frames in a row - with breaks of 90 and 89 in there.

Lisowski wasn't done though. He fought back to win the last frame before the end of the session with a break of 51.

Play resumes tomorrow.

Jak Jones on his win

I feel relieved. It was an absolutely shocking match. Today was a little bit better but I don't know how I won. I don't think either of us were clinical, someone just had to win.

"I won four black-ball games in the first session to be 6-2 up and even when the wall [screen] went up I didn't feel comfortable. You always want to play well if I'm winning when I'm not playing well there's a positive in that.

"Judd and Ronnie are two of the best players in the world so it does not get any tougher than that. Everyone is expecting a Ronnie-Judd semi-final so I've got nothing to lose and I will just try my best and see what happens.

"My goal is to get in the top 16 but it's very difficult. You're ranked where you should be. My consistency is not there."

Bingham 3-2 Lisowski

Bingham edges ahead.

While there has been some great moments for both players, it's also been a tad inconsistent.

An exhibition shot by Bingham at the end on the pink off three cushions fails to sink in the pocket.

But that's all academic.

Wilson 3-1 O'Connor

Kyren Wilson has made a solid start to this one.

The third frame brings the first century of the match - with Wilson scoring 105.

Wilson then won his third frame.

On the other table

Wilson has edged ahead of O'Connor

He leads by two frames to one now on table two.

Bingham 2-2 Lisowski

Lisowski somehow sees a pot squirm out of the pocket.

Bingham takes to the table to score 20, before having to play for safety.

Lisowski fails to slot a long red home, giving Bingham the opportunity to stake his claim for the frame.

Both men return to the table, with Jack losing a bit of his swagger and hitting a few loose ones.

Bingham, back at the table, then starts getting his score up again, and by the time a routine black is done he is in control.

At the interval, we are level.

Bingham 1-2 Lisowski

Bingham has stemmed the tide.

He has taken frame three, although it was only through Lisowski missing a routine red on 46.

Bingham replied with a stunning 90 to seal the frame. That's impressive stuff.

On table 2

O'Connor and Wilson is underway.

It's the 2020 finalist Kyren Wilson who has taken the first frame.

He will have his eyes on the prize tonight.

Bingham 0-2 Lisowski

Well, Lisowski has flown out of the traps here.

A brilliant opening frame sees the world No17 record a break of 83.

He follows that up with 88 in the second frame.

Within the blink of an eye, Lisowski is two frames up.

Bingham v Lisowski

It is the eighth time that Stuart Bingham and Jack Lisowski have gone head-to-head,

Currently, Lisowski is a head 4-3.

Will Bingham make that 4-4?

This evening's matches

There are two matches to enjoy this evening.

Jack Lisowski will do battle with Stuart Bingham.

While Joe O'Connor will face off against Kyren Wilson.

Both have just got underway. Stay tuned for updates.

Maguire's on song

Stephen Maguire punched the air and rapped his knuckles on the table as he overturned a 63-point deficit to establish a 10-6 lead over chalkgate rival Shaun Murphy.

In this second-round Grudge Match, the Magician had done his own fist pumps at key moments and this riled the Scotsman, who just needs three frames on Sunday to progress.

Si Jiahui 9-13 Jak Jones

Last year's semi-finalist is out!

It's Jak who progresses, after holding his nerve.

He's had two appearances at the Crucible, getting to the quarters both times.

Big test next though against Judd Trump.

Higgins 4-4 Allen

And it’s the end of the session.

Higgins appeared to baulk with the frame at his mercy.

Allen raced through some reds for a run to 27, before playing safety on the final red.

Eventually, Higgins sinks a long red… finally! Rapturous applause follows, with the crowd knowing that’s the frame.

It’s level for now, until the overnight session that is.

Higgins 3-4 Allen

Higgins concedes the frame following a passage of play where his safety left an open red for Allen.

The frame began with Higgins, again wasteful from range, missing a long red.

Allen had raced to a 65 lead to ensure Higgins was needing snookers.

Si Jiahui 9-11 Jak Jones

Meanwhile, at the interval, Jones is on course for the qaurter-final.

He has taken a 11-9 lead at the interval against last year's semi-finalist.

It's not been a classic, though.

We haven't seen one frame with a break of over 50.

Higgins 3-3 Allen

And we're all square.

Higgins might not be finding his range from distance, but his short game is working nicely.

He builds up a 48 lead until over-running on the black and leaving himself with too fine a cut.

Allen takes the reprieve with both hands, or does he?

When it looks like he's going to win the frame building up momentum on 42, he just falls at the final hurdle.

A missed green sealed his fate, letting Higgins pot that, then blue for the frame.

Higgins 2-3 Allen

It appeared that Allen had given Higgins the advantage by blowing a routine red.

But Higgins struggles - he misses a long red by a country mile. We've seen him sink those.

Gives Pistol the opportunity to clean the table.

He doesn't quite manage it, but the break of 79 gives him the frame and the lead.

Trump reveal

Judd Trump has spoken more about the offer he received from China for a breakaway snooker tour.

"I don't know, I didn't even get that far," he said.

"I'm not interested one bit. I'm in my prime. If I was older and at the end of my career maybe it would be different, but I don't want to waste my prime on exhibition matches.

"I would be a lot happier winning my money than being gifted it. Where I am in my career, how I'm playing and the success I've been having, I feel I can earn this money and really have a sense of achievement.

"That's something my mum and dad would want as well. My mum and dad would be more proud if I did it that way."

Allen 2 -2 Higgins

A run of 47 is enough to draw Allen level at the interval.

He had earlier hit a brilliant blue that cannoned into the reds to set himself up nicely for the frame.

The Pistol was patient.

The World No3 Higgins has plenty to think about.

Si Jiahui 8 vs 10 Jak Jones

Another nervy frame this time ends in favour of Jones.

He kept his composure to pot two difficult reds which allowed him to clear up and take the frame 79-49.
