15:28: Summary: John Higgins started the game off well going two frames up early on.
Allen looked like he was out of question at the beginning of the day but surpised the crowd after coming back to equal things with a score of two frames each.
The Northern Irish player then sent himself into the lead with an impressive performance making things different to how they started with a 3-2 frame lead to his name.
After a disapointing period, Higgins who has won the title in question three times, fought back to make the score three frames each.
15:26: An impressive return from Higgins as he brings the score back to three frames each with a break of 102 sending him into the century mark.
15:22: Higgins looking better now with a lead of 32-16 in this frame. Allen has done well to come back from two frames down but a draw of three frames each looks likely.
