All to play for

It’s still all to play for today.

The evening session could be quick as both Ronnie O’Sullivan and Luca Brecel need only a frame each to progress into the quarters.

The afternoon is looking very tasty, though, with Ben Woollaston still well in his match with Pang Junxu.

Judd Trump was sensational in the final three frames of his last session against Shaun Murphy – tallying breaks of 106, 132 and 92 to take a four-frame lead.

He needs three to progress.
