“It could not have been an easier start to the UK Championship for Mark Selby who breezed past fellow Englishman Mark Joyce in six frames. Breaks of 75, 80 and 82 were enough to move past the 62nd-ranked player without reply and set up a second-round tie with Barry Hawkins, who earlier dispatched Ben Woollaston. Jack Lisowski and Jamie Jones are also in action for a shot against Judd Trump.”
