if hendry gets past gilbert he could get to at least the semi-finals on the easy side of the draw

Seven-time world champion Stephen Hendry staged a recovery to end the first session of his match against underdog Dave Gilbert only 5-4 down.
Hendry, playing with a new cue, started with a 51 break to go ahead, but his form deserted him for long periods as the world number 66 soared ahead.

Gilbert took four scrappy frames in a row as Hendry missed a series of pots.

A break of 100 in the sixth put Gilbert 5-1 up, but Hendry made breaks of 68 and 76 as he clawed his way back.

The world number one will be relieved to have escaped with only a one-frame deficit after a prolonged spell of poor form threatened to derail his hopes of an eighth title.

What happened with the red ball? I just heard them talking about it after,  but I didn't get it.

Parrott potted a red but the only colour he could hit - the black - had the pot blocked by a red hanging over the bottom right pocket (as you watch it on the telly). He had no safety shot and Willie Thorne suggested he might pot the red via the black, taking the seven point penalty but knowing Davis would have an easy shot and eight points would be knocked off the points remaining. Terry Griffiths thought (and I agree) that the ref would have called a deliberate miss. As it happens, Parrott did hit the black against the red but neither went in. He claimed afterwards that this was what he wanted, but he didn't seem to me to have hit it with enough venom if he wanted the red to cannon away. Not one you'd see very often.

I see Joe Swail has beaten Mark Williams. Well done Joe, he's given great entertainment over the years at the Crucible. Maybe he can do a Dott on it?
