    Do people at the snooker cough intentionally just so they can hear themselves back on iPlayer or is Sheffield rife with lung disease?

    Vafaei does not look like he wants to be there at all tonight.

    They're all riven with pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis after a hard morning's work at the steel mill.

    The calling card of a proper old fashioned private school education.

    Yeah, that was obscenely good from him. Fancied Murphy to do something in this tournament, but he was blown away in that session.

    Tomorrows evening session looking utterly pointless with both games sitting at 12-4

    Higgins absolutely pulled it out of the bag here, 12-8 down and then a brief interval and he's pulled it level, last frame starting now. Amazing what you can do once you've had a poo.

    Brecel doing that thing where he’s looking like a god again. Wonder if he can keep it up. Both players just keep winning in one visit

    The two semi finals look great. Wouldn't want to pick a winner. Whoever wins this probably.

    It’s a genuinely outstanding tournament this year. It’s got a bit of everything and the standard has been incredible.

    There's probably not much they can do about it given how late the evening sessions can run but it pisses me off that the highlights are on so late at night.

    My man.

    Fairly difficult run this has been for Trump. Murphy/Brecel/Williams is not the kindest of runs, albeit the first two being attacking probably suit him. Anyone but O’Sullivan anyway, the massive weirdo

    I like to see Mark Williams doing well. A pretty good semi-final line-up all things considered. All 4 have a great chance of winning the whole thing even if Trump is favourite to take it.

    Up there with the worst Ronnie has ever played at the Crucible this.

    Zhao is clearly very good but his opponent has been pathetic.

    Don't think Ronnie's ever been whitewashed in a session either.

    Yeah feels like after he lost the first frame of the session he's reverted to type and just given up.

    Reds spread, multiple options off the blue, just needs to roll it in and he thundercunts it.

    If it was Zhao doing this he'd be banned again before tonight's session.

    When he can't be arsed he really can't be arsed, if he was more robotic he'd never lose a match.

    Odds on him retiring in the post-match interview?

    He's pretty much retired at every interview in the past 5-10 years after a loss.

    I'm sure Hendry said that even before qualifiers, where Zhao had to play 4 rounds, he was one of the top 3/5 favourites to win the entire thing with the bookies.
    I think Trump will shade that match assuming he goes through, but it should be good.

    Not sure that’s true.

    Trump, Selby, O’Sullivan and Wilson were definitely the top 4 in the market. I don’t remember seeing his name anywhere tbh.

    Just looked, joint 8th fav with Williams and Ding at 25s with ladbrokes. Still not horrendous considering he’s technically an amateur

    Very much like watching Zhao. First instinct is attack and he gets some power on it.

    And on the commentators, if you don't like Virgo, who is good?
