Just seen that Maguire lost again in the first round. Is he the sport's biggest underachiever? Was tipped for big things but it just hasn't happened.

Wow. 3rd day and a 3rd comeback on the cards.

First Maflin 8-4 down loses 10-9. Then Maguire 8-4 behind loses 10-9 now Matt Selt 7-2 down to Hawkins has pulled it back now to just 9-8

Hawkins will be really feeling the pressure too he was 5 up with 6 to play at the UK and lost!

Will Ding manage to win for once - has an awful record in Sheffield.

I cant believe what I have just witnessed.

Ding Juhui just completely lost concentration forgot he was on for a 147 and played for the blue then realised! LOL. Never seen anything like that before!

Opps...even in victory he looks daft then at the Crucible.

Some pretty one sided games now after a few close affairs.

Williams v Stevens should be tight though.

This 7th frame in the Williams v Stevens match is one of the most bizarre I've ever seen. Neither player wants to win it.

Terrible snooker. Started of so well with some great long pots but some of this has been awful.

Both are at least 10 years past their best. Shame, as they were both top quality players in their prime.

In offs, easy misses, some strange shot choices, a weird rub of the balls (oo er), some good safety play and two players who couldn't pot a thing. Great stuff.

Safe to say it isnt goin to plan for Anda Zhang. 7-0 down now! Could we have a whitewash on our hands?

Perry has been almost faultless though.

Judd looks to be taking a 7-2 lead in to the second session. I'm flagging though so I'm off to bed.

Judd looking good and seems to be in an aggressive frame of mind, going for everything. Makes for exciting frames but he'll come unstuck against a better opponent.

Judd always goes for everything, one of the reasons why he has never won this. Cannot win this title without an element of cautious matchplay snooker at times where the frames are scrappy.

Carrington has won that session 3-1 and now trails 8-5.
Played some really good stuff in it as well, shame it has come too late but at least it doesn't look as bad a hammering now!

Judd wins it. Actually thought his safety play at times was some of the best I've seen him play. Think he could be a force this year.

Ding's started so poorly. Let's hope he picks it up soon as this could be a cracking match.

Yup, he needs to hang in here and get to 5-3. Danger of it running away from him so early on.

Perhaps signs of minor improvements this frame.

3-5 to Higgins over night. Probably about right although it could have easily have been 2-6.

Selby 10-6 behind to an extremely Impressive Anthony McGill going into the final session tonight.

He has a 78% Long Pot success rate. Superb.

Still think Selby will grind it out somehow, but having 2 last gasp matches this early on doesn't bode well for him in terms of defending this.

Ding has looked like a different player this afternoon.
