Typical Ronnie, always producing drama.

In frame four, the last one before the mid-session interval, O’Sullivan had a long disagreement with the referee about the exact positioning of the cue ball after he had fouled.

He even encouraged Judd Trump to come up out of his chair and inspect the line. The ref replied: “Well, it’s your shot!”

There is much laughter as he debates for ages with the official about where it should be. We are talking fractions here.

Eventually after a long time arguing his case, he hits the red ball.

The fact he is wearing a mic for his documentary TV crew is perhaps just a coincidence…
