Mark Selby edges past Sam Baird in second round

At the start of the session, it appeared Selby would cruise to an ultimately comfortable win when he took the first two frames of the third session, scoring a break of 134 in the first. However, Baird then took four straight but scrappy frames to level the score.

Selby then held his nerves to fight back for the final two frames for a 13-11 win.

Baird took the lead for the first time in the match with the ninth frame, the first of the session, with a commanding 125-5 victory. Selby then scored the highest break of the game so far (115) to level, and then took back the lead.

Selby took three successive frames before Baird took the final frame of the session to cut the lead to 9-7.
