Steve Davis
Six-time world champion on BBC Two
Barry Hawkins must be reeling a bit. He has thrown away two frames. They both missed relatively easy shots in that frame but it is always the last mistake that is the worse one.
Neil Robertson now looks like he has got his tail up.
Ken Doherty
1997 world champion on BBC Two
That missed pink from Barry Hawkins was unforgivable.

Hawkins has let Robertson off the hook and finals can turn on moments like that.
The Australian now knows he will be level at worst going into tonight's evening session.
