World Snooker Championship 2023 LIVE: Jack Lisowski eyes victory before Judd Trump, Mark Selby, Shaun Murphy

Our main match

Jack played pretty well yesterday, and the problem for Noppon is how he beats someone who wants a similar game to him, but is better at it. The only way he can win, really, is by hitting a ridiculous streak, and over best of 19, that’s a big ask because how do you sustain it? I’d expect Jack to see it away 10-5, something like that.

Morning all!

And what a day we’ve in prospect here. First, we’ll bring you the conclusion of Jack Lisowski (12) 6-3 Noppon Saengkham, with updates from what could be a cracker: Kyren Wilson (7) v Ryan Day. Then, in the afternoon, Judd Trump tries to avoid the ignominy of first-round ejection – except Anthony McGill, who leads him 6-3, is playing beautifully – while Mark Selby gets going against Matt Selt. And finally, we’ve the conclusion of Wilson v Day, backed up by the final first-round match, Shaun Murphy (4) v Si Jiahui. Not bad, eh?

Jack gunning for victory

He took a 2-1 lead in a rapid opening, but Saengkham kept up with a reply to Lisowski’s following two frames.

At 4-3, Saengkham missed a string of good chances which allowed Lisowski to rally to a three-frame overnight lead.

The pair will play out the remainder of their first-round tie at 10:00 BST on Wednesday morning.
