Tommy Ford finally takes one of his many chances, 2-1 Ford.

2-1 Ali

Xiao levels with Jack, 2-2

Pang levels with Ali, 2-2.

Tommy Ford gets away with spunking a golden chance, courtesy of another Kyren gift.  3-1.

Xiao's playing really well.  Jack concedes needing just one snooker with 4 reds on after missing a pink.  He *usually* falls apart at some point in these bigger matches, but he looks extremely confident so far.  3-2 from 0-2.

4-1 Milkman

4-2 Milkman, rerack Jack

5-2 Milkman, Ali misses frameball green, goes safe enough.

Proper $hithousery from Kyren, 4-1 Ford barring 18pts of snookers

Absolute snorter of a green from Pang, decent brown and runs the frame out to steal, 3-2 Pang.

3-3 Jack

4-2 Tommy Ford

Ali on the verge of going full-on tantrum mode, but he's got a good chance here.

3-3 Ali

4-3 Jack, 5-2 Tommy Ford

Mind-blowing missed black off the spot from Jack

let's go Jack 2.0!

4-3 Ali

5-3 Jack

5-3 Ali

i would love to see the milkman beat tory boy

Miss you Gin.

6-5 Pilot wins

Bizarre H2H in tonight's match, albeit a lot of it is quite historic.  Tommy Ford and Jack have met 12 times....  Ford leads the H2H 11-1!  That does include 2x CL(I) and 1x Shootout meetings.

Shredsville after a frame and a half, 2-0 Tommy Ford

Much better from Jack, 2-1 Tommy Ford

Great response from Jack, 2-2

Just hit the turbo button didn't he. Incredible response.

Indeed.  Went from really edgy to stroking that opening red in in frame 3 and then just hitting his straps

That over cut shot after Ford's miss a couple of frames ago it looking insanely expensive ATM for Jack.

winona AGAIN !

Ballsy stuff from Jack, Tommy Ford looking the edgier, what happens next?!?

That 4th black was superb

Oh Jackie Boy......

Jack busto. Has to be said Ford was very lucky to land on that yellow like that!

And he could have left something easier than he did from the © Mags, too

Yeah

Lisowski lost his concentration ,Ford started laughing and joking when he looked beat ,and Jack relaxed for a second ,as usual with him it was fatal .He is so unlucky ,must be doing his head in .

Can't go with the unlucky angle personally, had the match on his own cue there, blew it. Simple as that.

The pattern of last season is happening again,everyones out of form and O'Sullivan steps in and wins another world title,Selby,Trump,Robertson
Higgins,bar Williams the only other player playing anything like,that 9/2 is going to be huge again as long as O'Sullivan gets thriugh the first round..His whole seaso is geared towards it while the others play themselves into the ground..

I missed two Winona's!

I was out yesterday watching the rugby................

Good luck all.

Was that a Tommy Ford steal needing a snooker?  (less than half watching)

No - Frame 2 he stole (The Captain was busted at 1.01 in the frame betting) but no was snooker required.
Frame 4 he needed a snooker, that he failed to get (30 behind with 27 left).

Thanks, mate

Is it starting to feel like this is a bridge too far for Tom?!

well that was a bit of a damp squid wasn't it...

Fords a masssive bottler,went 7-3 and just threw it in pathetic.
