Hazel Irvine , Steve Davis and John Parrott host further second-round coverage from the Crucible Theatre. Another quarter-final place is secured in tonight's early evening session, leaving five of the final eight still to be decided.
There were some comprehensive victories at this stage in 2002, with Ronnie O'Sullivan , Stephen Lee ,
Stephen Hendry , John Higgins and Matthew Stevens all registering convincing wins over their opponents. Stevens's 13-3 drubbing of Jimmy White was arguably most impressive of all. Mark Williams bowed out to Anthony Hamilton in the shock result of the round, while the eventual champion Peter Ebdon quietly ensured his passage into the fourth quarter-final with a 13-7 win over Joe Perry.
