  1. Bingham shows fighting characterpublished at 17:20 British Summer Time 1 May 2024

    O'Sullivan 8-7 Bingham

    Bingham shows he's still well up for the fight, a fine break of 125 sees him pull within one frame of levelling. A massive final frame of the session.

    That's Bingham's 50th century at the Crucible.

    Worst case he's going 8-8 into final session, but knowing Ronnie he'll definitely want to push on and possibly get to 10-6.

  3. 'These are the moments that can be most damaging'published at 17:09 British Summer Time 1 May 2024

    O'Sullivan 8-6 Bingham

    Neil Robertson
    2010 world champion on BBC Two

    Not only is Ronnie the best player of all time, but he's the best player I've ever seen for pouncing on mistakes. Not letting his opponent breathe out there.

    These are the moments that can be most damaging.

  4. Rocket risingpublished at 17:06 British Summer Time 1 May 2024

    O'Sullivan 8-6 Bingham

    Bingham looked like he was getting going, but he missed a red to middle on 28 and O'Sullivan capitalised to double his lead with a superb 84 break.

  5. 'Ronnie has looked vulnerable'published at 17:00 British Summer Time 1 May 2024

    O'Sullivan 7-6 Bingham

    Ken Doherty
    1997 world champion on BBC Two

    Before that break I think Ronnie looked very vulnerable. Stuart has had his chances to win a lot more frames than he has done.

    It's kicked Ronnie into gear a little bit.

  6. 'It's a long a night if it goes the distance'published at 16:58 British Summer Time 1 May 2024

    O'Sullivan 7-6 Bingham

    Steve Davis
    Six-time world champion on BBC Two

    Ideally Ronnie would like to get a really substantial lead in these four frames after the interval.

  7. 'Lift off'published at 16:56 British Summer Time 1 May 2024

    O'Sullivan 7-6 Bingham

    John Parrott
    1991 world champion on BBC Two

    It almost looks like lift off is going to happen now.

  8. O'Sullivan edges aheadpublished at 16:53 British Summer Time 1 May 2024

    O'Sullivan 7-6 Bingham

    That's more like it from the 'Rocket', an excellent break of 79 enough to edge ahead.

  12. 'A tricky situation'published at 16:29 British Summer Time 1 May 2024

    O'Sullivan 6-6 Bingham

    Ken Doherty
    1997 world champion on BBC Two

    The problem was the black rocked a little bit on the spot, which means Ronnie can't pot the red. Ronnie just questioned it, which he had every right to do so.

    It was a tricky situation for Ronnie and the referee.

  13. 'Unsettling moment'published at 16:25 British Summer Time 1 May 2024

    O'Sullivan 6-6 Bingham

    Steve Davis
    Six-time world champion on BBC Two

    It was an unsettling moment. Unfortunately for Ronnie it became a problem.

    He wanted to know if the ball was on the spot and whether he could get through to the red.

    I think, though, the end result was that he probably couldn't pot it anyway.

  14. Level-pegging at the mid-session intervalpublished at 16:21 British Summer Time 1 May 2024

    O'Sullivan 6-6 Bingham

    Bingham pinches the frame, this could be going all the way. O'Sullivan concedes needing one snooker.

  15. 'Great sportsmanship'published at 16:19 British Summer Time 1 May 2024

    O'Sullivan 6-5 Bingham

    Neil Robertson
    2010 world champion on BBC Two

    He played safe even though he could pot the red. It's unbelievable.

    This is probably one of the greatest bits of sportsmanship I have ever seen in any sport. That's incredible.

    I've never seen anything like that before.

  16. Postpublished at 16:18 British Summer Time 1 May 2024

    O'Sullivan 6-5 Bingham

    Now then. O'Sullivan turns down a chance to pot the red as he was unsure whether the black was lying correctly on its spot.

  17. Gilbert one awaypublished at 16:08 British Summer Time 1 May 2024

    Gilbert 12-8 Maguire

    Dave Gilbert will resume after the mid-session interval, needing just one frame to reach the semi-final.

    The winner will meet either Kyren Wilson or John Higgins, who resume their quarter-final tonight with Wilson 9-7 ahead.

  18. Missed chance by Binghampublished at 16:02 British Summer Time 1 May 2024

    O'Sullivan 6-5 Bingham

    But he's messed it up, the break finishes on 42 after a miss on a blue to middle.

  19. Opportunity for Binghampublished at 16:00 British Summer Time 1 May 2024

    O'Sullivan 6-5 Bingham

    Great chance for Bingham...he's in the balls.

  20. Big frame before the intervalpublished at 15:51 British Summer Time 1 May 2024

    O'Sullivan 6-5 Bingham

    Big frame this in the context of the match, can Bingham finish all square before the mid-session interval?
