SO FAR SO GOOD FOR DAVIS

If Steve Davis beats Adrian Gunnell today he will make his 30th appearance at the Crucible and will appear there in a fifth different decade.

The good news for Davis fans is that the six-times world champion is 6-3 up although his 6-1 lead was trimmed by Gunnell making two successive centuries.

The first of those could have been a 147 but he missed the penultimate red with the rest on 104.

Davis looks very determined. He may have generally taken his foot off the gas but this is the one match of the year he really wants to win.

The 52 year-old has certainly brought in plenty of support. There's a huge crowd in watching, most of whom are watching him.

He needs four more frames from 4pm.

All the best Davis. It is great to see you on the table, in the studio and your occasional stints in the commentary box. To quote our friend and former colleague, Jack Karnenm, Just prior to Cliff Thorburn completing the first crucible 147 of 27 years ago, I say in referance to Steve Davis,"Good luck mate."

Ditto Jamie, well done Steve - when he can be bothered to practice he still produces it!
