Woollaston joy

Speaking to BBC after his heroic first victory at the World Championships, Ben Woollaston said: “I’m just in shock really, I never thought this day would ever come, winning a match at The Crucible.

“To do it against Mark, who after Ronnie is the King of the Crucible, it’s an amazing moment for me.

“I don’t know if it made it harder us playing against each other.

“He started the match with a century and I thought: Oh here we go.

“I was surprised he broke down a few times. I think I was just a little more positive knowing he wasn’t quite at his best.”

Crucible shock – Mark Selby is OUT!

Mark Selby 8-10 Ben Woollaston

Mark Selby becomes the fourth seed to depart these championships already having been knocked out by fellow Leicester man and good pal Ben Woollaston!

Woollaston beating his boyhood hero to reach the last-16 for the very first time!

The four-time champ and world number four is OUT!

Mark Selby 8-9 Ben Woollaston (37-66)

Terrific from Woollaston! Sensational shot on the green to get him down for the remaining red and he takes it too.

His lead is now 29 with just 22 points on the table.

Selby comes back to the table and needs two snookers. If anyone can, though….

Mark Selby 8-9 Ben Woollaston (37-49)

A snooker from Woollaston and four points more to his tally!

Free ball for him too and this has presented itself with an unbelievable opportunity to seal the victory!

Mark Selby 8-9 Ben Woollaston (37-45)

The break comes to a stop at 32 and he’s eight points clear with just the one red remaining.

Hugely important times ahead now for both players as we tick into the third day for this match, which started on Wednesday and will finish on Friday!

Mark Selby 8-9 Ben Woollaston (37-38)

It’s 25 so far in the break for Woollaston as he noses ahead in the frame.

Two reds remaining so a bit of work to do yet.
