BBC Sport - Snooker - John Higgins edges Ronnie O'Sullivan to make UK final

A very relieved Higgins told BBC Sport: "There is nothing more frightening than Ronnie coming back at you when he's in full flow.

"I was just sitting there and thinking if I get a chance take it. You can't take liberties with Ronnie.

"At 8-2 in front you might think that against anybody else."

Yes indeed...

Did you see the controversy in the higgins O'Sullivan game, when they realised there may be a hole in the rules? (Which unsettled both players, but O'Sullivan recovered faster) which allowed his almost comeback?

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

Yes and no... I was doing dishwashing while the telly was on in frame 13, so I saw the first miss and then only heard the roar of the audience.

Meanwhile, I see Ding-Higgins ended the afternoon session 4:4 -- it could be a long night.

8:7 for Ding now. There was never a lead greater than one frame...
