That's a brilliant win for Dean Young over Pang Junxu in front of his home crowd. Amazing break to win it.

Bumped into Dean a few weeks ago after he qualified (beating Thepchaiya, no less) and he was buzzing to play in Scotland. He'll have absolutely loved that.

Shaun Murphy on working with Peter Ebdon.

'More of a mentor situation. I think I've gone a bit soft. Too nice. The last few years I think I've become a bit soft. You forget that this is war. I just wanted to have someone like Peter in my corner for the odd word here or there.'

Really good from Mark Williams in a pretty comfortable 6-2 win over Neil Robertson.

Don't know what the odds on a Williams vs Xiao final were at the start of the week but somewhere in the mammoth region.

This guy's 50 in March!

Fantastic result for Bai Yulu. The women's world champ gets her first victory on the main tour. Beating Farakh Ajaib 6-4 in UK Championship qualifying.

Jamie Jones next for her.

Big time. The Chinese comps always deliver on the trophies.

Xi'an has been a cracking addition as well.
