OT - it's the third Thursday of the months again so it's options expiry and it's the quarterly one . This means, for the newbies, that some match prices (particularly for the blue chips) will be all over the place and should be ignored until a few minutes before open. Also, the open will be 4 minutes per group instead of the usual 2, so it will take longer for the market to be fully open.
