World Snooker Championship LIVE – Judd Trump in action before Ronnie O’Sullivan takes center stage at Crucible

On the other table, Gilbert holds a 4-0 lead. After taking two scrappy frames to begin the match, breaks of 83 and 101 have the Englishman in command.

Jones makes no mistake and completes a break of 94 to take his third frame in a row. He’ll be disappointed to have missed the black but he’ll be delighted to lead 3-1 at the interval, especially after the start he had.

There will be no panic yet for Trump but he’ll be eager to get back on the board after the break after looking imperious for the first frame and a half.

Jones pots a good long red after losing the cue ball but can’t get on a color so it’s end of break.

He leaves the white pinned on the top cushion and forces another mistake from Trump. He then stuns a long red in and gets on the black as he creeps towards a 3-1 lead.

Trump has the first chance in the third frame but jaws the red to the middle. He leaves Jones a sniff on a long red and he takes it.

He quickly leaves himself the perfect angle on the blue to split the pack and he spreads them wonderfully.

With the balls at his mercy, let’s see what he can do from here.

Maguire makes a break of 63 in the second frame and looks set to level but Gilbert clears up to pinch it for a 2-0 lead.

Gilbert is in the ascendency in the third frame as he aims to establish a healthy early lead.

It’s Trump’s turn to miss. He overcuts a tricky red to the corner and Jones is back at the table.

The Welshman gets the last two reds to fall and needs up to and including the brown to leave Trump needing snookers.

He clears the lot and now leads 2-1. What a turnaround.

Jones makes a nice break of 39 with the balls lying awkwardly but he misses a pink on the stretch to hand the momentum back to his opponent.

Trump pots a good opening red as he sets about responding. There are still three reds sitting in unpotable positions but he develops two of them to boost his chances of winning the frame at this visit.

Trump sizes up a couple of potential plants but opts to play safe instead. He won’t want this to become a scrappy affair.

After a passage of safety, Trump flukes a red but smashes the balls everywhere and doesn’t land on a color. He misses a difficult brown and leaves Jones with an easy opener to the middle.

One of those moments where the fluke doesn’t actually help.

On the other table, Gilbert is 1-0 ahead after claiming a scrappy opener and the Englishman is back among the balls in the second frame.

For someone who claims to be scared out of form, Jones produces a brilliant clearance of 69 to level at 1-1. That could prove vital.

Trump was looking imperial for a frame and a half but he’ll be ruining that final positional shot that cost him dear.

Just as it looks like Trump is set to move 2-0 clear, he runs out of position and has to play safe.

Jones pots a magnificent long red but it’s slightly overheated and the cue ball comes to rest on the side cushion in the baulk area.

The Welshman rolls up to the green and forces Trump to miss the reds and leave a free ball. Frame back on!

Trump goes back into what’s left of the pack but this time he doesn’t end up on anything easy.

He weighs up the safety shot before opting to take on a thin cut to middle, which he pours into the heart of the pocket.

Jones nails a brilliant long red from near the top cushion, but he jaws the attempted yellow to the middle and leaves Trump an opening.

The pack is still tightly set as Trump gets to 24 but he nudges a few reds loose, gets onto the yellow and then finds prime position again.

This is now a brilliant opportunity to double his advantage.

In no time at all, Trump leads 1-0 thanks to a break of 110. That was ominously good from the Englishman.

On the other table, Gilbert is ahead in the opening frame against Maguire.

Trump goes into the rest of the pack from the blue and although he doesn’t land perfectly on the next ball, he recovers with a thin cut into the corner.

With the balls now at his mercy, the first frame is sure to be his.

Trump opens his account with a trademark long red right in the heart. And he didn’t play it as a shot to nothing.

He slams the brown in, rips the white back and splits the pack off his next red. What a start.

The 2019 champion races to 28 and looks in fine fettle.

A reminder of the format for the quarter-finals. Like the last 32, matches will be played over 25 frames, with eight to come this morning.

Whoever prevails out of Gilbert and Maguire will face either John Higgins or the in-form Kyren Wilson in the semis, while the winner from Trump v Jones will be up against Stuart Bingham or Ronnie O’Sullivan.

It’s well poised, with a brilliant blend of four seeds and four qualifiers left in the draw.
