World champion Kyren Wilson will face Judd Trump in the final of the Xi'an Grand Prix after an impressive 6-4 victory over Ronnie O'Sullivan.

The world number three, who beat China's Xu Si in the quarter-finals, looked to be cruising to a comfortable victory after taking a 5-1 lead, but O'Sullivan replied to win three frames in a row.

However, the 32-year-old dominated the final frame to score his second century of the match and book his spot in the final.

World number two Trump joined his fellow Englishman following a comfortable 6-1 victory over Wales' Daniel Wells.

The final is on Sunday, with the winner pocketing £177,000 in prize money.
