Many snooker fans will be delighted to see David Gilbert doing so well at the Crucible. His brand of attacking snooker is great to watch, and he’s produced the form he showed when he reached the semi-finals back in 2019.

As for Stephen Maguire, he knows he needs a fast start this afternoon if he’s to fight back and turn around the 10-6 deficit.

But the Scottish star can win frames quickly when he gets on a roll, and knows this match isn’t over if can find his best form.

Ronnie O’Sullivan resumes at 4-4 against Stuart Bingham this afternoon so it’s all to play for.

The seven-time world champion recovered from 3-1 down to get out of the first session level but he’ll have to put some frustration behind him. The 'Rocket' rapped his cue on the table at one point yesterday after looking out of sorts.

The 2015 winner Bingham started the match strongly, taking the first two frames with breaks of 55 and 75 and ended the session by winning the final frame. He will try to draw on the memory of beating O’Sullivan 13-9 at the same stage on his way to the title.

Good afternoon...and what an afternoon of snooker we have in store!

Over on the opposite table Kyren Wilson was looking good at 9-4 up against John Higgins.

However, the four-time world champion has roared back winning the final three frames of the session to set up an intriguing conclusion to their match this evening (19:00 BST).

With Jak Jones defeating Judd Trump a little earlier the partition went up and the Scot looked in his element playing in front of the full auditorium.

He must be delighted with how things panned out. It looked like he could have been staring down the barrel.

More from Jak Jones on BBC Two: "My parents struggled by to pay for everything for me, it was a lot of pressure as a kid. I couldn't deal with it.

"Maybe that shows in the way I play now, I don't give up because of all the struggles I've had.

"It's absolutely down to my parents, it's the reason I've continued going because they've supported me so much."

More from Judd Trump on BBC Two: "Jak just outplayed me. Jak played to his rhythm. I couldn't get going.

"Every time I got in, I'd been sat down for a while. He executed his gameplan well and when I was able to create a chance, I missed it."

Jones dumped out Ali Carter and Neil Robertson to reach the quarter-finals at the Crucible last season.

Asked by snooker pundit Ken Doherty why he loves the venue so much, Jones joked: "I'm hoping they move the whole tour here!

"I don't know what it is, if you can't get up for the Crucible, then you can't get up for anything."

More from Jak Jones on BBC Two: "I felt quite calm. He started like typical Judd (with a century), but that motivated me.

"I went 3-1 up and, after that, I just felt he wasn't the same at all."

Jak Jones speaking on BBC Two after his 13-9 quarter-final victory over Judd Trump: "I don't know how I got it done. Like Judd said, he struggled for pretty much the whole match.

"I thought he struggled in the first mini-session - and I took advantage."

Judd Trump looks crestfallen speaking on BBC Two after his 13-9 defeat to Jak Jones:

"There's not really much I can say. I didn't play very well. Jak deserved to win. Jak took his chances."

Kyren Wilson blows a golden chance to go five frames ahead, missing a fairly routine plant when 32 points clear.

John Higgins clears all the colours, but runs out of position on the black. Whoever pots it wins the frame.

And it's Higgins, to go three behind.

Judd will wonder just what went wrong in this match.

Every credit to Jak Jones - he has only had to stand up to win this match. He must be thrilled.

A lof of long hard-fought frames, but Judd Trump just didn't get going today.

Jak Jones has reached a milestone in his career. He can be very, very proud of himself.

This is the best win of his career, you'd have to say.

We'll bring you reaction from Jak Jones and Judd Trump once we get it, but in the meantime you can watch the second session of the quarter-final between Kyren Wilson and four-time champion John Higgins.

Wilson is dominating that one 9-4 with three more frames this session.

Judd Trump only made three breaks over 50 during the 22 frames against Jak Jones and his highest score today was a break of 22.

Jak Jones will face either Ronnie O'Sullivan or Stuart Bingham in the last four on Thursday.

O'Sullivan and Bingham resume their quarter-final at 14:30 with the match tied at 4-4.

That's it! The best win of Jak Jones' career. What a display. He's into the semi-finals with a superb century break of 106.

Jak Jones holds his nerve superbly and has cleared all the reds.
