Morning RKW

Howdy LRF

Right then, just turned it on, Walden v Milkins I see?

Milkins could take this, looks like a steal!

Maybe not! Turn of events, Walden with a chance for the 1st frame, taken!

Walden has raced into a 3-0 lead against Milkins, Bingham ahead of Mark Davis 1-0 on the other table.

I see Walden with the slight advantage, while all square in the other match. This afternoon's matches should be interesting.

I think Carter will feel pleased to be only 3-5 down to Ronnie, and surely both players will put on a better show. Would be nice to see a close match to see how Ronnie responds. Ding needs to show a bit more composure and just hope to win this afternoon session to stay in touch. I wonder if he understimated King slightly, and hopefully a more focused Ding will be on show. King will just want to do more of the same, and try to bog down and frustrate Ding.

I've always liked Ding.

Talking of Asian players I enjoyed Pooemyang(sp) too

Got Ronnie on now. Didn't see any of his match yesterday.

Frames shared in Ronnie's opening mini-session. The real Ding has turned up today, 3 decent breaks and the latest was some truely top class break-building to get back to within one.

Ronnie missed a few but decent standard in that game, although I feel Carter will be disappointed not to be level.

Has Ding reduced the gap against King?

Ding has played some good stuff to get back to 6-6. He'll be hoping that the interval doesn't disrupt any momentum gained. I see Carter now 6-7, both matches getting a bit tasty.

So both Ronnie and Ding lead 9-7. Didn't catch much of Ronnie's match, but Ding really showed his class today. Some top quality break-building, and whilst it's no foregone conclusion, he's put himself into a strong position.

Well played Bingham, looks like he'll be taking a 5-4 lead now.

Must have been a brilliant afternoon for Ding to win seven of the eight frames!

Wow! Didn't know that. Haven't been on much today due to various things and I'm not on too much on Sunday either but haven't checked that and didn't think to look.

Got a few things to tidy up on for the start of the week tomorrow, but after, it will be an evening on Snooker. or ?

Ronnie still has his two frame advantage ahead of the final session tomorrow.

Bingham 5-4 up against Davis and Walden still 5-3 in front versus Milkins are the latest scores.

Mid Session Interval now, that frame should have been completed some time ago, but wasn't. Has now though, 7-5 Bingham.

Walden 9-3 up on the other table. Could possibly still wrap up victory tonight if he wins the remaining four frames of this session. Massive hill to climb for Milkins.

Really like Ding, I think he can make it all the way to the final this year.

Eight players, four matches, and four places left in the quarter finals.

The second round will be complete after today, and we start at 1300 with Ding Junhui leading Mark King 9-7 after a stunning fightback in their second session yesterday.

Also this afternoon is Stuart Bingham against Mark Davis. They are locked at 8-8 in a tense matches that could go all the way.

This evening from 1900 Ronnie O'Sullivan is back up against Ali Carter with a 9-7 lead, just four frames from victory. Also tonight, Ricky Walden needs just three frames for his place in the last eight as he leads Robert Milkins 10-6.

Willie Thorne does my head in

Bingham through, wins 13-10 against Mark Davis.

Ding has a great chance to go one from victory against Mark King here.

Looks like it's over.

It's over now, well done Ding

Got to remember he was losing 6-2 at one stage in that match. Since that first session, won 11-3.
