Neil Robertson doubles his lead.

It's not just that Barry Hawkins is making mistakes, he is gifting his opponent very precious table time.

There is a big question now to be asked of Barry Hawkins. He should have won this frame. He has to try and stay with Neil Robertson. It will be a big test of his character.

Absolute howler. Barry Hawkins misses a straight pink that looked plum for the left middle on 16.

Neil Robertson can't believe it as his opponent looks to the heavens. That should be the frame.

Neil Robertson will be seething with himself. This could have the opposite effect. It would hurt Neil if Barry could win from here.

Neil Robertson looks to have the bit between his teeth.

Solid stuff from the Australian takes him up past 50 but he then makes a glaring error by missing the blue into the middle as he tries to split the remaining reds.

A chance for Barry Hawkins to bite back.

Psychologically Neil Robertson will sense how important this moment is after he stole the previous frame from the jaws of defeat.

If he can win this frame with a big score it would really land a body blow on Barry Hawkins.

Not a good break from Barry Hawkins. He has given Neil Robertson a good look at a red to the right corner. In it goes.

Barry Hawkins has been so unlucky there. Little moments like this can really swing a match.

That was a massive moment and a big turning point. Barry Hawkins should have been aware of it and not only that he got a snooker which led to a free ball.

Neil Robertson has cleared up. Never in doubt.

Neil Robertson gets it second time around but leave Barry Hawkins with a pot. He misses and then has a foul called against him.

It's a big day for Bulgarian referee Desislava Bozhilova, who is taking charge of her first Masters final.

And this could be a big decision. It looks like Hawkins has been penalised for touching the green with his shirt. Four points and a free ball is the punishment meted out. That could cost Hawkins the frame.

Clever shot from Barry Hawkins to cover the final red with the green and brown. Neil Robertson goes for a two-cushion escape but misses and then sees the white run down the table into the black. Ouch.

A big seven points conceded.

This is decent stuff from the Hawk. He's up to 45 and in very good shape. Now then here comes the half century.

He's 27 ahead with 35 left on the table, can he knock in this final red with the rest. It's frame ball. No.

He rattles the jaws and leave Neil Robertson with a chance to the opposite corner. He's missed as well. Another frame extended.

Neil Robertson is ticking along nicely but then overcuts a red into the bottom left bin with one eye on position.

Barry Hawkins' reward for that miss is a tough starter from the bottom of the pack. He strokes it into the left middle. Superb.

How many points can he stick on the board here?

Barry Hawkins' safety has not been up to his normal standard so far. Another roll up to the pack goes wrong and give Neil Robertson an easy starter to the left middle.

The players are back and Shaun Murphy and John Virgo have taken over on comms.

It's time to get going again.

Got to admit, I miss that sensation of having to readjust my eyes after coming out a snooker club after a few hours back into the daylight.

Lovely little segment on the state of snooker in the UK at the moment. Always great to see the insides of local snooker clubs.

Sadly the two local clubs I used to play have shut down but these numbers still look decent, well until you look at what's happening in China.

Matt: Been loving the coverage of the Masters this year and so many good memories. The players have made this tournament as ever so good to watch as a long time fan, makes me smile and made my week feel so much better.

Sho: This is the fastest I've seen Neil Robertson play. After he won the World Championship in 2011 for some reason he really slowed down his game and tried to become a tactical player. Shame it's taken him almost 11 years to figure out he's better like this.

To some degree you can reset at the mid-session interval. You can go to the practice table and loosen the arm off a bit. The first session is always a bit like this.
