Shoot OutSnooker Shoot Out 'is great and horrible at the same time' — Dale17/01/2022 AT 08:39 ROBERTSON 0-0 BLACKWELL (15-19) One minute and forty seconds left..four points in it.. ROBERTSON 0-0 BLACKWELL (14-12) Match number three sees Jimmy Robertson face fellow Englishman Simon Blackwell. Robertson missing two easy reds early on when he looked likely to score heavily.

A nervy long shot gives Blackwell a chance to score. TAYLOR 0-0 DAVIES (103-3) First century of this year's event. A wonderful break of 103 from Taylor.

He is through to the last 64 in some style. Only the 23rd ton in Shoot Out history. And completed in just over six minutes.

TAYLOR 0-0 DAVIES (71-3) Normal service resumed with world number 76 Taylor quickly up to 50. Exceptional stuff this from Taylor, who is going to take this frame out in one hit. TAYLOR 0-0 DAVIES (0-3) Second match is Allan Taylor against 15-year-old Liam Davies, who is off and running with a long red.

Nice experience for the young man. DAY 0-1 JONES (23-50) Jones slams in a mid-range red and Ryan 'Dynamite' Day is out of the event. No repeat of last year.

There we go. First man into the last 64 is another Welshman. DAY 0-0 JONES (23-44) Looks like the defending champion might be heading out at the first hurdle.

DAY 0-0 JONES (23-23) An all-Welsh battle to get this tournament off and running. Day defending his title. Less than three minutes to go in this one.
