Home Nations £1m tournament

English Open already, on Discovery + and DMAX on FV.

Milkins won this morning, Mark Allen hit 4 centuries in a 4-0 win, Ding was docked a frame for his trousers (!) but still won a decider.

And on Eurosport. Ronnie O'Sullivan managed to close out his match 4-0 against Andrew Pagett, despite getting tennis elbow in the last frame. Doesn't bode well for his chances of winning but hope he does well as it's his first ranking points this season.

Wallace & Gromit had a similar problem

Neil Robertson already out.
Beaten by Sanderson Lam.

Ryan Day through as are John Higgins, Barry Hawkins, Jack Lisowski, Luca Brecel, Ding Junhui and Aii Carter. Just to please Doddle a certain Shaun Murphy lost in a deciding frame to Lu Hongyu.

Trump, Allen and Brecel all prevailed, but Mark Selby lost 4-2 to Martin O'Donnell.

Ronnie O'Sullivan on blistering form!! He got 3 century breaks in his 4-1 victory over Jackson Page. Page had to get a century of his own to win a frame.

Phew! Ronnie managed to triumph 4-2 over Sia Jiahui, but Jiahui should have been 3-0 up. Ronnie was totally out-rocketed in the first 3 frames and only a 64 clearance in frame 2 saved him frpm being 3 down with 4 to play.

Ronnie's work isn't over yet today, he has another match against Zhang Anda tonight.

Good for Si, he needs the odd good week to build on that World Championships run.

Trump went 2-1 down to Yuan Sijun before rallying to win 4-2. John Higgins knocked in a 145 on his way to the quarter-finals. Martin O'Donnell added Misery Maguire to his win over Selby yesterday.

Luca Brecel got his work cut out with Ding Junhui though.

Ronnie, Brecel, Williams and Carter all crashed out last night!

Oh well. Come on Judd!

Higgins and Ding still there though. Maybe Ding might finally win one of these bloody HN things?
