Snooker: Three centuries for Wilson as he leads Murphy 6-2 in World semi-final

Last year's runner-up Kyren Wilson was in brilliant form - scoring three centuries - as he built up a 6-2 lead over Shaun Murphy after the first session of their World Championship semi-final at the Crucible Theatre on Thursday. Wilson, fresh from knocking out the in-form Neil Robertson in the quarter-finals, lost the first frame of the evening but took the next five, including breaks of 110, 127 and 121. Murphy, the 2005 champion, rallied to take frame seven but Wilson knocked in a break of 70 to win the last frame and give himself a four-frame advantage when the match resumes on Friday.
