Joe Swail has the advantage over Anthony Hamilton in another second round encounter.

Swail, responsible for the first-round defeat of 1997 world champion Ken Doherty, compiled breaks of 79, 67 and 78 to lead 3-0.

Hamilton, back in action less than 24 hours after his victory over six-time champion Steve Davis, hit back to trail 3-2.

Belfast-born Swail responded with further runs of 98 and 73 before world number 20 Hamilton took the last frame of their opening session.

They play a possible 17 further frames on Saturday with the winner to meet Ronnie O'Sullivan or Andy Hicks.
