John Parrott holds the record for a first round victory at the Crucible,
whitewashing Eddie Charlton 10-0 in 1992.
But the tables were turned during the opening stages of his last 32 meeting
with Charlton's young compatriot Quinten Hann.
After the initial six frames, 38-year-old Parrott was 5-1 behind and poised
for a quicker than anticipated start to his presenting duties with the BBC.
But by the end of the session the 1991 world champion from Liverpool was right
back in contention.
The world number 18 resumes tomorrow morning trailing just 5-4 and requiring
six of the remaining 10 frames to take his place in the last 16.
"I'm still in the game, that's the main thing," said Parrott whose 67 in the
seventh frame was the highest of the session.
"It was a funny old session before the interval. Every time I came to the
table I found myself 50-odd points behind and I hadn't done much wrong.
"Quinten had a few flukes and only made one half decent break. But winning
the last three frames makes it interesting for tomorrow."
