Snooker scores LIVE: Mark Selby in English Open decider against Si Jiahui

Muir hits back to halve the deficit and prevent Robertson from cruising to a whitewash victory.

John Higgins will need to dig deep to beat Mark Allen after going a frame behind early on.

Neil Robertson has made a fast start against Ross Muir by snatching the first two frames.

He is already halfway to victory and a place in the last eight.

Trump wins his third straight leg to wrap up the match.

He's safely through to the quarter-finals.

Trump turns the tide and is now just one frame away from victory.

The man from Bristol levels up in the fourth frame. A tight contest, this.

The Englishman and overall favourite trails in the opening stages.

Victory to Mark Selby as play concludes.

We're going all the way here. Level heading into the seventh.

Another lengthy frame but this time it goes the way of Jiahui. The Chinese star isn't out of this one just yet. 

And that's the game for Yize. He's into the quarter-final with twin breaks of 88 in the last two frames. 

He could be on course for another clash against Judd Trump!

Uh oh. The Englishman trails again after losing the fifth frame to Yize.

A proper ding-dong battle unfolding on table two. 

Just like that, we're level! Game on. 

Selby really starting to motor now. He's in the mood and is 3-1 up. 

It's all changed in the Selby vs Jiahui tie. On the back of the monster 40-minute frame, the Englishman makes no mistake in the third and now leads 2-1. 

Woollaston needed to spark a comeback and he might've just managed to do so. He now only trails by one against Yize.

And breathe! Selby pots the black just as the frame clock ticks over to the 40-minute mark. A marathon frame that goes the way of the Englishman.

And just like that, it's 2-0. Yize in fine form against Woollaston, who needs a big comeback to stay in the English Open. 

A perfect start for Jiahui who potted well and showed plenty of patience to take the opening frame. 

It's an opening frame win for China's Yize against Woollaston. He cleared up with 94 to take the opening frame. 

The first two matches of the day are underway in Brentwood. 

A reminder of the early afternoon schedule:

Mark Selby (ENG) vs Si Jiahui (CHI)

Yize Wu (CHI) vs Ben Woollaston (ENG)

John Higgins has admitted he's 'struggling' with snooker at the moment. 

Speaking during the English Open, the Scot said: “I’m struggling to get going. I’ve not got the desire at the moment. That is just the way I’m feeling after a performance like that.

“You just have to try and take the positives. I need to get back to working. It shows and you can’t get away with it when you don’t put the work in.”

Ronnie O'Sullivan has suggested he doesn't know how long he's got left in professional snooker, hinting his retirement could be just around the corner. 

Speaking after his English Open round one exit earlier this week, O'Sullivan commented: “I'm absolutely useless, that's why.

"Forget about the Worlds. I'm not even bothered to be honest with you, if I'm going to play rubbish I might as well play left-handed.

"Play left-handed and enjoy it, but be useless, or play right-handed, be useless and not enjoy it. I haven't got long, I'm not going to deny it, I'm not playing well enough, there's no point in even worrying about it - I've just accepted it now which is quite a nice place to be really."
