No it doesn't for me...

Can anyone in the UK check if this is working for them please: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/othe...er/7661693.stm

Thanks.

I second the question. The stream doesn't work for me, though I am able to watch BBCnews and other UK only videos.

Nice 98 from John Higgins to go 3-0 up.

Hi, is there a live streaming somewhere? Thank you.

A tense first frame with both players fluffing a few shots. Would be nice to see Mark Joyce even things up and win this 2nd frame..

Very unlucky for him, though. John flukes a red to the corner and is close to wrap up the frame..

2-0 and it was a superb blue

Packed house for the Fu/Davis match

John's been rather fortunate so far. Very much so.

[spike]

Great...loss of picture.

[quintahunter]

Will there be free livestream somewhere?

Good luck to Mark Joyce. A great achievement to get this far and I hope he enjoys his day on tv.
It's a big ask to beat John Higgins but whatever the outcome it will be great experience for Mark.

Interesting,

Mark Davis
Mark Joyce
Mark Selby
Marco Fu
Marcus Cambpell

Looks like names starting with 'Marc' phrase are popular among snooker players

I think the best match of the day is Perry vs Cambpell, it could be going down to the wire.

My match of the day must be Selby v Doherty....

[spike]

Quite a fluke that from Higgins

One thing that is great with Eurosport Player is that you get coverage before the 'real coverage' starts. Rob Walker joking around, saying "we're not on TV" etc, interviewing a couple who celebrates their first wedding anniversary by watching snooker!
