Snooker: Selby dominates Williams 6-2, Murphy and Trump locked at 4-4 in quarters

Mark Selby dominated the battle against three-time champions Mark Williams establishing a 6-2 advantage in the quarter-final at the World Snooker Championship. Selby won the opening two frames in Sheffield without conceding a point, including a superb break of 121, and led 3-1 at the mid-session interval thanks to a pot success rate of 99 per cent. Selby came from 55-6 down to take frame five and then produced breaks of 90 and 76 to make it 6-1, before Welshman Williams gave himself overnight hope by ending with a superb run of 111. On the other table, there was little to separate world number one Judd Trump and Shaun Murphy as they finished the day locked at 4-4. Neither player was able to move more than one frame in front during an evenly-matched opening session at the Crucible.
