Ronnie O'Sullivan is a five-time world champion

Ronnie O'Sullivan overcame an ankle injury and progressed into the third round of the English Open by coming from behind to beat Mark Davis 4-1.

O'Sullivan wore blue trainers in his first round win and threatened to "pull out" after being told by organisers to wear the correct footwear.

But he was given an exemption by World Snooker and wore black trainers, making high breaks of 136 and 134 to progress.

Defending champion Liang Wenbo made a maximum 147 in his win over Tom Ford.
