I think paulie might be off now, so ill update the scores where possible 3-1 Bingham goes into the interval Trump pulls back another to make it 3-2 to Ford
Cheers just came on here to say I left mine about 10 minutes ago so my updates are done till this evening
Enjoy the snooker everyone
No worries mate saw you hadn't been on, hope the funeral goes as well as possible.
Ford takes another to go 4-2 up, knocks in a long red and a break of 140 , 1 century a piece now,
Boris just announced All planned testing events with crowds have been postponed following a rise in cases.
Does that affect the snooker?
I honestly dont know, i know Snooker was a demo for other sports indoors testing fans etc. are they going to change it now (no fans) or will they be allowed to just carry on. I will await to see the updates from people within snooker.

Shame Hamilton withdrew so early.
I'd have thought, in view of what happened to our own asthma suffer, Seb, no one on here would be criticising someone else with the same problem from looking after their health.
The irony if they play with no fans from here, would be such a shame for Hamilton. Already is but he would have been ok but he has now withdrawn so regardless Wilson goes through.
Commentators just said they will update us when it becomes available and they are aware of Boris announcement.
Just like buses we have another 50+ on the other table. 4-3 to Bingham, Carty with a century, first of the match on table 2.
Could be a big frame Trump sneaks another after a easy pink missed by Ford Trump 4-5 Ford, could have easily been a huge lead, hes had chances every frame and let Trump off.
Still if you said to him before today you will be 5-4 up against the reigning champ i am sure he would take it.
Agree mate, very fortunate on the face of it could have been 7-2/8-1, obviously you never know but based on chances Judd had were down to Ford missing.
Set up ok, but can see the real Trump turn up later. Fords best chance would have been a 6-3 lead and keep the pressure on. Still not impossible but Judd still fave from here.
Bingham steals it! Carty was 30 ahead, 27 left and Carty potted the black (foul) left himself snookered or totalled and hits it and Ballrun mops up the colours, not convincingly i may add 5-3 Bingham!
Bingham gets in first, but doesn't get the split and punished!Carty gets a 69 for 1 snooker required + respot, then pots the red shortly after. Stuart Bingham 5-4 Ashley Carty
Carty will be delighted to go in 1 behind on his crucible debut, looking pretty confident last couple of frames and not afraid to go for his shots.
I don’t like Ronnie but he was always right on this matter. I totally agree with Hamilton too. The crowd in today are not even wearing face masks. Unbelievable really!
I was really impressed with Carly and it was just his decision making that let him down. I think if he can control his nerves he will beat Bingham.
Did you watch much of it or just after the other game finished? Bingham wasn't really playing well and Carty looked better but gave away a sloppy one after looking very good. The rest of the game looks like its been a pretty scrappy affair with numerous chances for each.
I was watching both games at once, the first 5 frames were scrappy. I was impressed by some of Carty’s long shots and some of his safety was very good. I think he got carried away at times but he looks like he has a bright future.

Nice, i have been working so could only have one this morning on my phone, watched half an hour of Ding on a proper TV as it was my lunch but back on the phone watching until 6
Ding! ding! round 1 to Ding 3-1 up at the interval, looking good but also getting a bit of run.
On the other table Wilson into a flying 4-0 lead against a certain Anthony Hamilton, its a bit quiet over that side some would argue are they even playing?

Can't see him playing as badly this evening

5-3 Bingham!
Do you think if Hamilton asks really nicely, Hearn will let him back in?
only one game on 2:30 Ding vs King, cant think why the other table isn't in use anyone know?
Stuart Bingham 5-4 Ashley Carty
Carty will be delighted to go in 1 behind on his crucible debut, looking pretty confident last couple of frames and not afraid to go for his shots.
That prick Hearn was just interviewed, no hint of an apology to Hamilton, not that I expected one.
"He pulled out the event, he's made his position quite clear, well done Anthony, good luck, see ya later son."
Ouch.
