Table issue
The session was briefly disrupted by a table malfunction after just two frames.
Wilson had taken the opening two frames to lead before an issue with one of the pockets was spotted.
Following a break in play between frames, ITV commentator Phil Yates claimed one of the pockets had “malfunctioned”.
However, the speed at which the table fitter was able to make the necessary changes saw the repairs described as an “F1 pitstop”.
The repairs were done so quickly that a longer than usual break between frames was prevented.
