  1. Higgins 0-1 Hawkins

    Hawkins leaves Higgins a sighter at a long red and the Scot pots it, only to not have a shot at the blue that he was after so back safe.

  2. Watch how Hawkins fought back to take the opener

    Higgins 0-1 Hawkins

    John Higgins led 35-0 in frame one but a miss on the black hurt him, as you can see below.

  3. Higgins 0-1 Hawkins

    Barry Hawkins misses a red into the middle after John Higgins had failed with a yellow. Been a bit patchy from both men so far.

    Tense first frame, Hawkins unlucky to nudge red off the cushion, then Higgins gives three fouls.

  5. Higgins 0-1 Hawkins

    Barry Hawkins not only misses a red he should sink, but then leaves one hanging over the pocket on the other side.

  6. Higgins 0-1 Hawkins

    Just like in the first frame, John Higgins gets in first but then runs out of position. It happened after 30 in frame one and it is at the 27-point mark in frame two.

    You don’t get many nicer guys in the game than Barry Hawkins. Really deserves to go all the way and win a Triple Crown event.

    Ross, Pontefract

  8. Hawkins wins the opening frame

    Higgins 0-1 Hawkins (35-75, Hawkins 58)

    It all started so well for him as John Higgins held a 35-0 advantage but a missed black proves costly as Barry Hawkins, helped by a break of 58, moves ahead.

  9. Higgins 0-0 Hawkins

    Luckily for Barry Hawkins the blue is between the cue ball and the final red. Three times John Higgins fails to connect with the snooker escape and that costs him 12 points. When he does hit it, he leaves it on for the Englishman.

  10. Higgins 0-0 Hawkins

    A failure to dislodge the last red, on the left side cushion, means Barry Hawkins, after a break of 58, has to go safe. John Higgins still has a chance to grab the frame.

  11. Higgins 0-0 Hawkins

    A massive fluke from John Higgins as the missed red goes down table and then back up it, clips another red and goes in. But a tough black, with the cue close to the side cushion, stays out to get Hawkins back involved at 35-0 behind.
