  1. 'Wakelin will be over the moon'

    Result: Allen 6-13 Wakelin

    Dennis Taylor
    1985 world champion on BBC Four

    It has to be said, Chris Wakelin, he will be over the moon.

    Mark Allen will be wishing him all the best in the rest of the World Championship, the gentleman that he is.

    Chris Wakelin played an outstanding match and he goes through to the quarter-final.

    Well played Chris Wakelin!

  2. Winner: Wakelin gets over the line
    Breaking

    Result: Allen 6-13 Wakelin

    Allen v Wakelin match statistics

    But no, Allen misses the brown when he looks certain to clear up. And it's all there for Wakelin now.

    In go the remaining colours that matter and that's the job done for the Englishman.

    He'll be mightily relieved, but he's thoroughly deserved that.

  3. 'This man's got a lot of bottle'

    Allen 6-12 Wakelin

    Allen sinks a long red to the green pocket, but he doesn't have an easy colour. In fact, he tries to play a snooker behind the black but there's enough of the red visible to Wakelin.

    It's 49-27 with 35 points left on the table.

    And Allen has another chance from long range. It might be his last shot of the tournament if he misses, but he doesn't!

    "Wonderful. Wonderful pot," says Dennis Taylor, singing the praises of his fellow Northern Ireland player.

    "They say in this game of snooker you need a bit of bottle. This man's got a lot of bottle."

  4. Williams 5-4 Vafaei

    John Virgo
    1979 UK Championship winner on BBC Two

    Mark Williams will take great stock out of that opening frame with a good century to boot.
