    Si 12-10 Woollaston

    Really tense finale to this frame.

    Ben Woollaston back at the table but the colours are everywhere. Only two on their spots and the brown near a cushion.

    Three points in it with five balls left.

    Couple of decent pots from Ben Woollaston but he falters badly on a black with the rest - nowhere near. Pressure telling in this cannot-lose frame.

    The balls are not placed nicely for a clearance but Si Jiahui should at least build a healthy lead.

    Si 12-10 Woollaston

    Ben Woollaston, at the second attempt, escapes the snooker - but goes in off as the cue ball drops into the bottom right corner.

    Si Jiahui, needing just this frame for victory, remember, pots another nice long red but again no colour to go with it - and, after a botched snooker, he leaves Woollaston a gimme red a couple of shots later.

    Si 12-10 Woollaston

    Si Jiahui crashes in an unbelievable long red and snookers Ben Woollaston right behind the yellow next shot.

    Huge challenge for the Englishman to escape this and leave it safe. Quite a few reds spread out in the middle of the table.

    Si 12-10 Woollaston

    A miss on a blue by Si Jiahui hands Ben Woollaston a bit of a reprieve after a poor earlier safety from the Leicester potter.

    But it's a very messy table and Woollaston soon runs out of position. Back to the safety battle.

    Ben Woollaston shot into the snooker spotlight with his surprise first-round win against Mark Selby at the World Championship.

    If that surname rings a bell, then that might not be entirely down to Ben's snooker achievements alone.

    Wife Tatiana is one of the sport's leading referees.

    She is not allowed to take charge of Ben's matches to avoid any possible accusations of a conflict of interest, but has officiated on many of the sport's big occasions and first appeared at the World Championship in 2020.

    Si 12-10 Woollaston

    Nervy moments on table one, which will dominate our attention now.

    Ben Woollaston knows one mistake could see him out of the tournament.

    There's a prolonged safety exchange here and Woollaston fouls by missing a red from the baulk cushion.

    He's more successful with his next attempt.

    Si Jiahui is seven points ahead, needing one frame to reach the quarter-finals and a potential clash with Ronnie O' Sullivan.

  8. Trump beats Murphy in epic last-16 tie - read the reportpublished at 15:34 British Summer Time

    Result: Trump 13-10 Murphy

    World number one Judd Trump held off Shaun Murphy's fightback to win an epic last-16 tie and move into the quarter-finals of the World Championship.

    Trump looked set for a routine victory when he led 12-6 but missed a red into the middle pocket and Murphy capitalised by reeling off four frames in a row.

    However, 2019 champion Trump held his nerve to take the 23rd frame for a 13-10 win and set up a match against either 2023 winner Luca Brecel or 2016 runner-up Ding Junhui in the quarter-final.

    On Sunday, Trump made the two century breaks he needed to reach the 100-ton mark for the season, an achievement that earned him a £100,000 bonus.

    The 35-year-old could become the first player to top £2m in prize money in a single season if he wins the world title, the prize for which is £500,000.

    Quarter-finalist Judd Trump speaking to BBC Two:

    "Shaun was in a world of his own for four or five frames and I was a little bit worried but I had to back myself in that last frame.

    "In the past I've been a bit hard on myself but I'm a lot stronger mentally and I've learned to appreciate the losses and use them as motivation.

    "I'm a lot more confident this year, I'm hitting the ball a lot better. I probably have a bit more belief in myself and I feel a lot more calm.

    "It's pretty much every single day [you play] now - you are looking to that next session every time. It's only going to get tougher, we're not even halfway there now.

    "It was an extremely tough draw to be playing Shaun at this stage with the form he was in."

  10. Could we see China's first world champion in 2025?published at 15:30 British Summer Time

    Players from eight countries have won snooker's most prestigious title and become a world champion - but China is still waiting for its first success.

    Could 2025 be the year that changes?

    Six of the 16 players in this year's second-round line-up were from China, with England having the next highest total with five.

    Zhao Xintong is into the last eight, and could be joined by Si Jiahui.

    "This has got to be the biggest year for China in terms of chances of having a world champion," said Jason Ferguson, chairman of the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association (WPBSA).

    "These boys have no fear and really want it. If a Chinese player became a world champion there's no doubt that player would become a national hero."

    Si 12-10 Woollaston

    Si Jiahui has looked out of sorts at times in this match, but he's flowing now and just one frame from victory.

    The 2023 Crucible semi-finalist shows some of his old form with a sweet 126 clearance.

    Sometimes you just get a bad draw - for that to be a last-16 game, the UK champion versus the Masters champion...

    Defeated Shaun Murphy talking to BBC Two:

    "Frankly that's the best I've ever played at the championship and I've lost.

    "I can't really criticise myself too much - I came up against the world number one, the best player on the planet who is playing really well. All I can do is praise him, he played fantastically well.

    "I've come back from worse positions [than 12-6] in my career - I've had some really good comebacks especially in that arena and I kept believing in myself, one frame at a time.

    "The problem is when they get to 12, your next mistake could be your last and that's how it proved."

  16. 'Worthy of a final'published at 15:15 British Summer Time

    Stephen Hendry

    That was a very, very high-quality match - but we expected it with those two players.

    It was worthy of a final. It was like a basketball game, end to end, one break after another.

  17. Postpublished at 15:12 British Summer Time

    Trump 13-10 Murphy

    Awaiting Judd Trump in the last eight will be either Luca Brecel or Ding Junhui, who play to a finish tonight.

    And given Brecel leads 12-4, needing just one frame for victory, it's very likely to be the Belgian - what a meeting that will be.

    Judd Trump holds off an admirable fightback from Shaun Murphy to book his place in the World Championship quarter-finals.

    The world number one was pushed almost all the way but his fantastic form in the earlier stages of this match meant the cushion he had built ultimately proved decisive.

    Shaun Murphy, though, puts all his eggs in one basket by attempting a very tough red to middle...

    The basket can't take the strain, the eggs smash and Judd Trump has the formality of an easy couple of balls to finally clinch progress. All over.

  20. Postpublished at 15:08 British Summer Time

    Trump 12-10 Murphy

    Wow!

    Slightly stretching but still it's a fairly routine red that Judd Trump misses to the right corner pocket.

    His advantage is 53 points with five reds left.
