Rd 1 England Steve James (a) 10-5 Northern Ireland Alex Higgins (a)  
in frame 11, James was awarded a free ball, before any reds had been potted. In taking a baulk colour as an extra red ball and compiling a total clearance of 135 the break became so far the only 16-red clearance at the Crucible.
After the match, Higgins punched an official in the stomach at the post-match press conference. This, alongside a threat to have Dennis Taylor shot at the 1990 World Cup a month earlier, led to Higgins being banned for the entire 1990/1991 season.
