    Higgins safety has been dreadful.

    To be fair, his entire game today has been dreadful. A shadow of the player from the first session yesterday. Bottled it.

    In fairness to Higgins, he's been under the kosh all day. You can't pot what you can't see.

    16-12 to Selby and he looks like shutting John out for the rest of the evening. Good tactical play there

    He has had plenty chances, but has been rubbish all day.

    Hendry is right.... Higgins went into his shell at 10-4 looking over his shoulder instead of trying to put the hammer down.

    Anyway his goose is cooked barring a miraculous turnaround.

    His highest break this session was what? 28?

    Higgins hasn't turned up today. His safety is way below his usual and keeps letting Selby in. Can't do that in any game!

    Selby's double into the green pocket didn't even make the nominations for shot of the tournament even though he had 4 from the Ding game in the nominations. The Murphy shot is a fair enough choice though.

    Just checked - career winnings of over £4m, compared to £200k for the first Crucible winner and 3x World Champion John Spencer

    Oh no, Denis Taylor is commentating the last session. He's already referenced the top of the trophy "that some players (e.g. himself) like to kiss". Wonder when he'll mention 1985 and his "perspiring palms"

    Nice highlights reel from last 40 years during mid session interval. Is it just me who thinks the Crucible looked better with the big globe that said "World Snooker"?
