Selby 6-4 Higgins
Terrible protection from Selby gives Higgins a chance to break the pack and he’s on one for the break.
But he undermines black at 24 and gives Selby a chance to clean up.
Selby moves forward quickly but moves blue into the middle. John can’t get him to pay though, and Selby returns to the table again.
At 63-28, Higgins needed all the balls to win.
Selby misses the foul, but Higgins doesn’t let them replace it and tries to put it into another similar snooker.
Even more than cheating, he gives Selby a chance to throw one in – and guess what? Takes the frame.
Selby 5-4 Higgins
A thin cut from Selby, a shot out of nowhere, misses and gives Higgins a chance.
But he cannot get a position on the reds, with the rook outside the blacks.
Selby, however, leaves one on for Higgins who hits it with ease.
Sets it up nicely to win the frame 69-31.
By the way, this was the longest frame of the match so far.
Selby 5-3 Higgins
We are in the game for 25 minutes.
Selby moved up with 31 points, but Higgins has the advantage with 35.
Annoyingly for Higgins, two reds are in the top lane – with black up there making life difficult and blocking the route.
It won’t be easy for the Scot.
Remember…
The action starts again at 19:00 for the evening session.
Can Higgins make a comeback?
