Slowby got lucky today... Hope Bingtao can beat him next round if that happens

Selby wins 10-7 he was there for the taking. I think he's going to raise his game in the next round but I hope not.

What a classic Slowby match that was. Wont be able to handle more matches like that.

Maguire leading Murphy 6-3.

Selby won't win it this year, he's not playing well enough, Jones should really should have won that

Good morning snooker fans, day 2 is here, Zhao 8-2 up, his que action is like Ronnie

Zhao wins 10-2. Very comfortable for him.

I know I'm getting ahead, but if Ronnie & Zhao meet In the QF, Ronnie will tie him in knots with the crucial safety play, Zhao isn't the best

What is Murphy playing at? He's clearly not played much recently, he's 6-3 behind, yet Maguire is practising, & Murphy is commentating on the McGill match...

Murphy is crazy. He should just retire and do full time commentary! You'd think he would have liked to have spent this morning practising but obviously not!

Eurosport aren't showing any afternoon coverage on the main TV channel this afternoon. It's very poor to be honest doing that during the World championship. I know I can still watch it on BBC and Eurosport player but not everyone has Eurosport player and people outside the UK may not have access to BBC so it's really poor to be honest.

I guess they will feel it's 'only' day 2, and they can't cover everything.................

Good start for Zhao - he's not got a B game, so just a case of for how long during his match he can sustain his natural game, but there could be a bad session in him against a top player where he mighn't recover.

Yeah i thought it was mental that Murphy was commentating. Is his heart really in it or is he just happy being around with the pundits? He has done nothing this season.

Zhao vs Ronnie will be good but yes Ronnie will do him tactically. Remember Higgins won a frame vs Zhao needing 3 snookers not so long ago.

How many tactical frames would there be though?

Zhao still ended up winning that match though 6-5 from being 5-3 down

Murphy needs to make a decision, he's in the 40's on the 1 year list...

Cant believe Eurosport are showing motor cycling & cycling on both channels, & Ronnie is playing in the World championship... Which idiot makes these decisions? They can't think people will watch on the iplayer.... No they won't, they'll watch on the Beeb like me!

Eurosport coverage used to be great. This season it's been lacking with pushing a lot of the Snooker on the Eurosport player. I never expected them to do it during the World championship though!

Ffs 😂 Higgins got revenge in the Tour Championship.

I dont think i have ever watched the WC on Eurosport. Who has been on the punditry? Foulds and White?

BBC are currently showing women's football... That's a whole new subject 😂😂

Foulds, White, McManus appears to have defected to them too, Domonic Dale, Philip Studd, Just heard Phil Yates too..

Can't beat the insight of Davis & Hendry for me, although I do like Neal Foulds, ITV4 coverage is excellent with a mixture of both

Dave Hendon and Joe Johnson were commentating yesterday too.

I find Steve Davis very boring to be honest.
