    Entertaining start. Murphy 2-1 up.

    More morons in the crowd, Shouting out ‘come on Neil’ as Shaun is down on his break shot and as he strikes the white, a person still calling out. Not a word from Eckardt… poor refereeing..

    Shaun seems to have turned a corner on form lately. Would like to see him do well again.

    He needs to, and will need a good few months in the ranking events because his money from the 2021 World final will drop off at the end of this season.

    Wonder if we get a bit of an update on the investigation from Jason Ferguson durning the interval.

    Expected to be nearing a conclusion and not drag on too much longer.

    Murphy onto BBC commentary this evening. Hardest working man in snooker these days.

    Nice win by Vafaei.... I wonder can he take it further?

    Selby wasn't in the room, by the looks of it.

    Hardest working ego. I hate him on commentary.

    Jack making a good start against Higgins.

    Hendon and Dale on Eurosport commentary one of the top combos.

    But that Australian Open ident is a bit of a pain.

    Brecel will be very annoyed with those two frames he threw away to Ronnie. Brecel has to be one the most frustrating players in snooker up there with Lisowski. Just haven't got the concentration levels.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    Agreed on all three points!

    Took me quite a while last night to cop what the rubbish in the top corner was about.

    I really wish they'd give over with the talk of maximums after 4 or 5 reds and blacks.

    I'm sure Higgins has far bigger things on his mind - like winning the next 4 frames, or he's out!

    Lisowski finishes him off. Could put a run together here.

    I really wish they'd give over with the talk of maximums after 4 or 5 reds and blacks.

    I don't see why not, I don't always notice it myself so it does peaks one's interest to be altered to the fact a 147 is on via commentary. They have become more common but still not THAT common.

    Good to see Hazel back. Not a fan of sideshow Bob on Eurosport.

    Hazel probably only back because the Pakistani girl is Keith Cheggars.

    Allen having an absolute mare here, and him arguably the form player of this season. Needs something to happen immediately at 4-0 down.

    Allen is heading home 0-5. Hawkins enjoying the Masters as he did in last year's run.

    When Barry gets in the mood for the big ones, he takes a bit of stopping.

    Great match play from Hawkins John Higgins style stuff. I would not have called that result.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    Not forgetting Dennis Taylor. I thought he was being phased out.

    DT and JV were due to be finished on BBC after Sheffield this year.

    But this might change again, or one or both may end up on ITV or eurosport for few years.

    I was baffled to see JH going for the maximum last night while 3 frames down, and then missing a tricky black when there were easier options. He got away with it in that particular frame but still strange from such a seasoned player.

    Mark Williams getting a 136 break frame one against Gilbert is exactly why you tune in 😅

    that sick shot up to the right top corner was a joy to witness.

    Can't believe they haven't sorted out this flying bugs problem at this venue. It's not the season for wasps.
