I meant to ask If a player goes into the pack off potting a red and the pack splits so he or she cannot possibly get out of the pack without hitting a red what is the rule? Rerack or frame away or foul points or something we didn't think of?

Oh wait, we must be sharing a phone number with the BBC's snooker coverage from the Crucible.
I thought there were a lot of you wondering about snooker frames during this game...

This is a chance for 2-0 to Chelsea as Diego Costa touches Cesc Fabregas' pass onto Eden Hazard but the Belgian's first-time effort from the edge of the box is too nonchalant and goes over the bar.
The exact same trio combining as for the goal.

Richard reviews: Hazard is outrageous. Similar style as Messi's 500th. So many players around and yet none of them can do a thing
Bisa Amoo: How does no-one track that Hazard run? He crossed half the pitch to get that shot!

BBC Sport chief football writer at Stamford BridgeChelsea manager Antonio Conte was literally jumping up and down in a fury after Southampton almost caught Chelsea's defence napping with a well-worked free-kick - then he was pumping his fists in elation seconds later after Eden Hazard gave his side the lead.
That's football.

That is Eden Hazard's 15 Premier League goal of the season, his best return in an English league campaign.

The start Chelsea would have dreamt of. Cesc Fabregas plays Diego Costa down the right and he pulls it back to Eden Hazard, who just sweeps it home with ease - the recalled duo linking up well.
Chelsea heading seven points clear as things stand.

Warning: Puel's opinion may differ to yours
Southampton midfielder Oriol Romeu is "not far off" PFA Player of the Year N'Golo Kante, according to Saints boss Claude Puel.
Uncapped Spaniard Romeu, 25, returns from a two-match ban to face his former club tonight.
"Kante brings the same qualities as Oriol for us because he's very consistent and in every game he gives good performances," said Puel.
"Without [Kante] for Chelsea it's difficult and the same with Romeu, it's difficult for us without him.
"I think he's not far off Kante, he's an important player for this team because he can do fantastic work to recover the ball and start the play."
