  1. Trump in flow

    Trump 4-2 Ding

    Judd Trump is now in flow and in complete control and he goes two frames ahead with a break of 91.

  2. Robertson in cruise control

    Robertson 4-1 Pang

    Neil Robertson is cruising into the semi-finals at present. He has not made a break over 60 yet and just one over 50 but he has won the last four frames on the trot against Pang, who has just made too many errors.

    As a gentleman of 60 years young, wishing Ronnie a very happy birthday I would just like to add that yourself and the rest of the players of the same age have been together like the first Rock and Roll stars. Without your influence on the game I think it could have stayed less exciting. Well done all of you.

  4. Trump looking strong

    Wouldn't it be beneficial if snooker considered using a projector directly onto the snooker playing surface? The projector could then display the exact location of the balls where they were before each miss shot was taken. This approach would demonstrably save a significant amount of valuable time for referees, who are currently required to manually review screens constantly, searching for the source of each misplaced ball. By visualizing the balls' previous positions directly on the table, referees would be able to pinpoint the errant shot instantly, eliminating the need for extensive screen checks. This streamlined process would significantly enhance the overall flow and efficiency of the game.

  6. Robertson punishes unfortunate Pang

    Robertson 3-1 Pang

    Pang Junxu gets so unlucky as he pots a tough red to the middle and then watches the white bounce off tyhe bottom cushion, hit the black and divert it into the other middle bag.

    While he gets a repreieve, Pang eventually ends up missing a yellow to the left middle that costs him the frame.

  7. Trump back on terms

    Trump 2-2 Ding

    Judd Trump gets back to all square after a long safety battle in a protracted fourth frame.

  8. Robertson hits the front

    Robertson 2-1 Pang

    Neil Robertson makes a break of 58 but then misses frame ball.

    It matters not. He is given another opportunity to wrap up the frame and duly obliges.

    Very interesting debate during the Trump v Ding game about the effect of the tighter pockets in this year’s tournament. Are pocket dimensions not prescribed in the rules and standard?

    They are David. There is a World Snooker template that has to be followed that allows for slight variances.

  10. Trump reduces his arrears

    Trump 1-2 Ding

    Judd Trump reduces his arrears with a 73. He looks fluent until missing a tricky yellow but he'd already put the frame out of reach.

  11. Robertson levels

    Robertson 1-1 Pang

    Neil Robertson gets back on terms. It's not one visit stuff but he'll be more than happy that Pang Junxu did not pot a single ball in that frame.

  12. Ding doubles his lead

    Trump 0-2 Ding

    Ding Junhui has begun this match really, really well. Two breaks, both over 80 have given him a nice early cushion over Judd Trump.

  13. 'Well, you can't legislate for that'

    Robertson 0-1 Pang

    Pang Junxu takes the opening frame against Neil Robertson. That will help settle any early nerves.

    Pang Junxu's fortuitous early pot helps give him the lead

  14. Ding makes fast start

    Trump 0-1 Ding

    Ding Junhui started like a train in his win over Scott Donaldson on Thursday and he does the same today against the defending champion and world number one Judd Trump.

    A carefully crafted break of 89 gives him the opening frame.

    And we've picked out 10 memorable moments from his stellar career that underline his status as snooker's biggest star and show why he is widely regarded as the sport's greatest-ever player.

  17. Trump is getting better

    Stephen Hendry
    Seven-time world champion on BBC Two

    I fancy Judd Trump because I have not seen Ding Junhui beat one of the elite players for a long time.It doesn't mean he can't because he has the pedigree and quality but I just feel that Judd is getting slowly better.

    He looks a little bit vulnerable when his opponent comes at him and it is close but generally he looks to be playing very well.

  18. Steve Davis
    Six-time world champion on BBC Two

    It's a journey into the unknown. Historically the World Championship has thrown up more surprises than the UK and it has usually been an established player that has won this event.

    A couple of players could maybe upset that applecart, Pang Junxu and Zhang Anda but it is a tough ask for them.

  19. Good afternoon

    Steve Sutcliffe
    BBC Sport at York Barbican

    Here we go again.

    A couple of cracking matches get Friday's quarter-finals under way at the UK Championship.

    World number one Judd Trump takes on Ding Junhui, who is a three-time winner and has a habit of playing his best stuff in York.

    Another man to win this famous title on three occasions, Neil Robertson, takes on China's Pang Junxu, who is playing his first last-eight match in a Triple Crown event.

    This could be an intriguing afternoon session.
