I hope Bingham keeps it together and takes this

Me too, I'd like to see Bingham win. Yesterday, at the start of the final I thought it was a foregone conclusion that Murphy would win, but Bingham has done really well to take the lead and pull away.

Nerves creeping in now, both losing control of the cue. Bingham missing great chances.

Who gave the Beeb the slo-mo cam? Every piggin replay has the players gurning.

Sliver · 4 May 2015 at 20:37

Worried for Bingham. Nerves seem to be getting to him. I hope he can reset his mind during the interval and come out focused. Weird how certain players can crumble when they get near the finish line.

Pressure getting to Bingham..

Bingham looks like he's lost it

Annoying, isn't it?

Best of 5 then, Stuart needs to find that focus he had last night after the interval.

el_dazza · 4 May 2015 at 21:26

Murphy having some serious luck atm.

Come on Bingham

This could run over past the 11pm scheduled finish. Potentially a maximum of 5 frames left if they both kept winning one each from now on.

I don't mind. I remember watching the 1985 final between Davis and Taylor and it was well past midnight before that epic match finished.

Actually yeah, I think I remember that match now that you mention it, and it going on till very late. Epic!

UTmaniac · 4 May 2015 at 21:45

50 minutes this frame so far and still lots to pot, at this rate it will be past midnight.

Got to be up at 0530.... Mummy!!!

ic1male · 4 May 2015 at 21:47

You can't beat a bit of late night snooker. It's been lacking in that department this year. Last year's final was over by now.

Merlin5 · 4 May 2015 at 21:50

Damn! Great pot followed by potting the cue ball. This frame is history now, Murphy to take the lead.

Sliver · 4 May 2015 at 21:53

Murphy feeling the pressure too now. He would never normally miss a yellow that easy.

ic1male · 4 May 2015 at 21:53

As an aside, I wonder if the Beeb will buy the rights to the "Home Series" snooker starting in 2016? They already show the Welsh Open albeit on a reduced budget catering mainly to BBC Wales but when Scotland, Ireland and England come along they might promote it and make a proper job and show all four nationally. Unless ITV or Sky nab them piecemeal.

Hah yeah, and I was wrong because he's handing it back to Bingham now. The frame is saved for the moment..

Merlin5 · 4 May 2015 at 21:59

Wow, I'd have thought this shot would be snooker 101 for pro players, amazing how hard Murphy is finding it.
