Phil and Nick return with a new episode to reflect on the first half of the sport's new fourth major in Saudi Arabia. Alongside a review of the action so far and a look ahead to the biggest names entering, there's chat about a number of issues at the event, including the non-existent crowds.

There's also the rest of the snooker news, including a maximum break on the amateur circuit. Plus we catch up with your correspondence. Keep your thoughts coming to us please - tweet us @TalkingSnooker or email [email protected]
