    Six-time world champion on BBC Two

    That's a debilitating miss from Stuart Bingham's perspective, it's the type of thing which can really rock you.

    Gilbert 11-8 Maguire

    Steve Sutcliffe
    BBC Sport at the Crucible Theatre, Sheffield

    There have been occasions in the past where players have come back from six frames down to win in the quarter-finals at the Crucible.

    Eddie Charlton (1978), Peter Ebdon (2005) and Shaun Murphy (2007) have all managed that particular feat but Stephen Maguire was 9-2 down at one stage in this encounter. He couldn't, could he?

    O'Sullivan 6-5 Bingham

    John Parrott
    1991 world champion on BBC Two

    Stuart had two fabulous chances to win that frame and, for all money, looked like winning it.

    Missing that black is unforgivable.

  4. O'Sullivan pinches itpublished at 15:34 British Summer Time 1 May 2024

    O'Sullivan 6-5 Bingham

    What a bizarre frame.....how big a turning point will that be in this match?

    Bingham made a break of 60, but broke down with a bad miss.

    O'Sullivan missed a tough red, only for Bingham to miss a black off its spot...and the 'Rocket' pounced.

  5. Gilbert extends advantagepublished at 15:29 British Summer Time 1 May 2024

    Gilbert 11-7 Maguire

    Dave Gilbert needed that. After losing five of the previous six frames, he has one on the board and is now just two away from victory.

    With two left before the mid-session interval, he would love to get it wrapped up quickly but Stephen Maguire may have something to say about that.

  6. 'He's loving that challenge'published at 15:23 British Summer Time 1 May 2024

    O'Sullivan 5-5 Bingham

    Ken Doherty
    1997 world champion on BBC Two

    Stuart is not afraid of Ronnie, he's loving that challenge out there.

    He's cueing beautifully and he's going for his shots.

    He looks the part - and he looks up for it.

  7. 'It's tense, small margins can make the difference'published at 15:20 British Summer Time 1 May 2024

    O'Sullivan 5-5 Bingham

    Steve Davis
    Six-time world champion on BBC Two

    It's going to be a fascinating session, Ronnie O'Sullivan doesn't want Stuart Bingham to realise how good he actually is.

    Stuart is a brilliant player - and he's starting to remember how good he was when he won the World Championship (in 2015).

  8. 'Rocket' back levelpublished at 15:18 British Summer Time 1 May 2024

    O'Sullivan 5-5 Bingham

    That was a scrappy frame, but O'Sullivan pinches it after both players missed easy pots early on.

    Not vintage by any means, but a break of 49 enough to level proceedings.

  9. Trump suffers shock quarter-final loss to Jonespublished at 15:15 British Summer Time 1 May 2024

    Result: Trump 9-13 Jones

    Steve Sutcliffe
    BBC Sport at the Crucible Theatre, Sheffield

    Judd Trump suffered a shock 13-9 loss to Jak Jones in the quarter-finals of the World Championship at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield.

    Having resumed at 8-8 overnight, world number two Trump once again struggled to find his rhythm in a tactical affair that worked in his opponent’s favour.

    Breaks of 87 and 61 helped Jones pull clear at 11-9 and the Welshman sealed a famous victory with a superb run of 106.

    Jones will now play seven-time champion Ronnie O’Sullivan or 2015 winner Stuart Bingham in the best-of-33 semi-finals.

    The 30-year-old, nicknamed the Silent Assassin, is playing in the tournament for just the second time and is aiming to become only the third qualifier to win the world title after Terry Griffiths in 1979 and Shaun Murphy in 2005.

    A lot was made before the World Championship of a potential semi-final between Ronnie O'Sullivan and Judd Trump.

    However, storylines often change at the Crucible Theatre and with Jak Jones having already dumped Trump out earlier, Stuart Bingham will be hoping to rip up the script here as well.

    And what drama already at the Crucible today...with qualifier Jak Jones having dumped out title contender Judd Trump with a stunning 13-9 victory

  12. Bad misses from both playerspublished at 15:02 British Summer Time 1 May 2024

    O'Sullivan 4-5 Bingham

    Ronnie has missed a simple red there, what's going on? But Bingham has not punished him. Incredible miss on a red as well. Advantage O'Sullivan again.

  13. Maguire battling backpublished at 15:00 British Summer Time 1 May 2024

    Gilbert 10-7 Maguire

    Stephen Maguire has momentum.

    The Scot has won five of the last six frames in this match, and is now only three behind.

  15. Strong start from Binghampublished at 14:54 British Summer Time 1 May 2024

    O'Sullivan 4-5 Bingham

    Bingham makes the perfect start against the 'Rocket', a superb break of 108.

    A real marker from the 2015 world champion.

  16. Gilbert favourite to progresspublished at 14:49 British Summer Time 1 May 2024

    Gilbert 10-6 Maguire

    Dave Gilbert, a 2019 Crucible semi-finalist, resumed with a healthy four-frame cushion over Stephen Maguire in their quarter-final clash.

    Maguire won four of the last five frames in yesterday's penultimate session to give himself a lifeline of staying in the tournament.

    Former potato farmer Gilbert, who at one stage led 9-2, remains favourite to reach his second Crucible semi-final but Maguire has a lead of 55 in the opening frame of the afternoon.

  17. 'He's totally self-deprecating'published at 14:45 British Summer Time 1 May 2024

    O'Sullivan 4-4 Bingham

    Ken Doherty
    1997 world champion on BBC Two

    I think Ronnie should appreciate himself more like we appreciate him.

    We've been blessed to have had such a talent in the game. Such a talisman and such an entertainer.

    I don't think he really understands how much people and the game love him.

  18. O'Sullivan is a 'God'published at 14:40 British Summer Time 1 May 2024

    He (Ronnie) has no reason to beat himself up anymore, that's how he perceives himself.

    Everybody perceives him as a God in the game.

    If I could have played to Ronnie's standard at that age (48), well you're blessed in a way that happens.

    But it's not just down to luck and DNA. It's down to graft and keeping himself in good shape.
