World Snooker Championship 2023 live – Si Jiahui looks to close out against Robert Milkins before Mark Selby resumes

Of course, we’ve an early one-table situation today

Because John Higgins monstered Kyren Wilson 13-2, finishing the match a session early. I didn’t expect that, and neither did John nor Kyren.

I’m looking forward to this one

Si has been brilliant so far. I wondered whether he’d struggle to reproduce his best form after beating Shaun Murphy because that required a very serious performance that must’ve prompted a massive emotional dump, but he’s looking good again and it’s impossible to see Robert producing another comeback of the sort that eliminated Joe Perry in round one.

WHITE DISAPPOINTED BY LISOWSKI, WANTS HIM TO FIND TACTICAL GAME

Jimmy White has been left disappointed by Jack Lisowski, and urged him to go away and find a tactical game.

Lisowski has had a disappointing season, but raised hope of ending it on a positive note after beating Noppon Saengkham in round one of the World Championship.

However, Anthony McGill looks set to stop Lisowski’s Crucible run after opening an 11-5 lead in their race to 13.

Lisowski was faced with the prospect of being sent packing in two sessions after trailing 10-1, but he won four frames in a row.

McGill halted the charge by taking the final frame of the second session on Sunday afternoon, and White feels a comeback is unlikely.

“At 10-1, all of a sudden Jack has hit back with some form and won four frames on the bounce and I think McGill needed to win that final frame,” White said in his role as a pundit for Eurosport. “At 10-6, Jack had a chance but at 11-5 I don’t think so.

“It is very unlikely. Anthony McGill is such a great match player.”
