    Frame 15: Trump 7-7 Robertson

    Stephen Hendry
    Seven-time world champion on BBC Two

    I think Neil Robertson is getting bogged down and taking a long time over shots that are pretty obvious.

    I don't think he realises he is taking the time he is. He has said many times he is better when he is more aggressive and his shot time is down at 22-23 seconds.

    Frame 15: Trump 7-7 Robertson

    Good time for both players to get out of the arena for a change of scenery. Hopefully that stirs some vintage potting from the memory banks.

    Here we go again.

    John Parrott
    1991 world champion on BBC Two

    It wasn't pretty in parts. There was a spell of 10-15 shots where nobody could leave a ball over the hole.

    There is no spark of either one of them. If you said to these two that they would not make 50 in the last three frames, two of the best players ever you would be very surprised.

    We're all square after 51 minutes and four seconds.

    Thank goodness for that.

    Frame 14: Trump 6-7 Robertson

    Someone please play me a potting montage.

    Or better still put one on in Marshall Arena. Neil Robertson's in trouble here after missing the brown completely while trying to catch it thin (and no he wasn't snookered).

    Another free ball. And more trouble for the Australian.

    I thought we would be tucked up in bed by this stage. We are going to have a thrilling conclusion.

    It is a bit like the good old days watching Eddie Charlton play Terry Griffiths at the moment.

    I would not want to lose this frame.

    Frame 14: Trump 6-7 Robertson

    Make that 71-59 to Trump.

    A good run of the balls leaves Robertson snookered. Crikey what a frame.

    This one is 43 minutes in, which by my reckoning makes it the longest of the match.

    To think I thought this match might be finished by now.

    Frame 14: Trump 6-7 Robertson

    An error every other shot at the minute.

    Neil Robertson misses the yellow and leaves a free ball. Can't remember ever seeing as many free balls in one frame between players of this calibre. Honestly!

    Judd Trump takes the black and runs the white up to the yellow. He sinks that and knocks the green in. But he's got no pot on the brown.

    STILL WE GO ON. 67-59.

    I think Neil Robertson is putting himself off. He has knocked any semblance of rhythm out of his game.

    What was I saying about this being a classic earlier. Ahem.

    Frame 14: Trump 6-7 Robertson

    Judd Trump's latest snooker escape leaves Neil Robertson with a free ball.

    Two minutes on and he decides to have the white put back. Not sure if he thinks that was the right decision or not.

    The way this frame is going it could be decided on fouls. Both players getting bogged down here.

    Frame 14: Trump 6-7 Robertson

    It was a decent snooker...

    In fact JT took 12 points from that but this frame is very much wide open. What horror has he got lined up for his opponent here...?

    Ah another snooker. Another four points coming his way and a free ball.

    Neil's going back into bat without sight of the yellow. What can he do here? Ohhh that's outstanding. He's got a snooker back, clipping the red off the cushion.

    Fully worthy of the generated applause and now the four points he collects from JT, who misses with his first attempted thin snick.

    Wow. It was an easy snooker and a difficult pot but I'm still surprised he didn't play the pot.

    Frame 14: Trump 6-7 Robertson

    JT's handed an early Christmas gift as his opponent leaves the final red over the middle bag.

    But he's umming and ahhing over this. It's dead straight and he's got a bit to do to get eventual position on the yellow.

    An thumping pot in the pink does just that but then he refuses the pot, electing to snooker Neil Robertson instead. Could this cost him?

    Frame 14: Trump 6-7 Robertson

    If you're not watching this just imagine a frame with your mates down the local snooker club (Oh I still wish mine was going).

    Lots of mini breaks, a few bad misses and longish frames.

    Frame 14: Trump 6-7 Robertson

    Judd Trump gets a horrendous run off the ball although not exactly unforeseen to snooker himself on the blue. He takes and misses a long green.

    Neil Robertson is going to get another chance but neither player seems capable of stringing a break of more than 30 together at present.

    Now he's back in his chair after half-heartedly missing a red to the bottom left bag.

    This is a struggle for both players.

    Neil Robertson never shows much emotion in his chair but he will be fuming. They say missing a black off the spot at this level is unforgivable.

    That was just carelessness.
