Both players having a bit of luck there. Hawkins looks a little rattled to me, and understandably so

What price was Higgins to win the Championship before it started?

And Hawkins was jammy with his next shot

Heard Ronnie today on eurosport commentate like he was talking to 5 year olds. They all know that a lot of the audience will only sit down and watch snooker over this May bank holiday weekend.

Think he was 12-1

This blue is horrible. Right decision but still awkward.

Do not take this red on.

Thought he couldn't get to the red off it. Missed the black now, some game

Fair play to both lads for the bottle shown on clutch shots. But makes the simple misses even more frustrating.

That took some bottle to take that red on down the cushion. Great pot and then he misses an easy black!

I think Denis Taylor is past it but he’s not bad. He tries to coin phrases that will never catch on. The old DDK ‘dreaded double kiss’. If you have to explain an abbreviation every single time, then it’s probably better to drop it.

Word.

Falling apart is Hawkins. First time he'll be in the lead right at the crucial point.

Eurosport are desperate for showing the reaction of the players after a missed pot. The reds fly everywhere, and they take the camera off the table, every time. Looks like Williams 16-15

FFS sake Williams,trying to give me a heart attack.

Every top player would have gone for that double. I’m certain of that. Wanna be a world champ you got to play the right shot at the right time.

Stupid from Williams there. Set himself up for the snooker

Ronnie and Selby said similar about a different shot earlier in the week. It doesn't matter if you don't fancy it. If it is the correct shot you have to play it regardless.

What a time to go into the lead for the first time!

Selby is the shot selection master at this level. Think of the red Barry tried down the cushion a few frames back. Now refuses a double that was far less risky. Sure it’s tough when you’re out there under the lights but champions don’t flinch st the same time.

AllForIt

Williams goes ahead for the first time in the match. Lovin this.

sligeach

Hawkins will take a long time to get over this if he loses.

Temperament, match play, shot selection, shot making. Temperament! It has to be MJW now.
