Patrick came from 2-0 down to level the match at 2-2, but Lisowski replied with the first century of the match – a 103 break – before clinching victory in the next frame.

Murphy saw his hopes of winning the tournament for a second time ended as he was beaten 4-1 by Anthony Hamilton.

Hamilton made breaks of 61 and 113 as he beat the 2017 champion.

Jimmy White reached the last 16 of a ranking event for the first time since the 2017 as he won 4-3 against Chen Zifan.

Soheil Vahedi followed up his win over Mark Williams with a 4-0 victory over Tom Ford.

World No 1 Judd Trump faces Robert Milkins at 2pm before the round of 16 starts this afternoon.

Trump will go into the match knowing he has already claimed a £150,000 bonus from the BetVictor European Series after Mark Selby's defeat on Friday.

Selby started the final tournament of the six-event series £6,500 behind Trump and could have denied the world No 1 the cash in a potential winner-takes-all semi-final, but suffered a shock 4-2 defeat to world No 62 Chris Wakelin, who made a break of 137 in the fifth frame in seeing out the victory in Milton Keynes.
