‘The Rocket’ is chasing an eighth world title success at the Crucible.
Ronnie O’Sullivan and Ryan Day look at the table as the seven-time world champion carved out a 10-6 lead at the Crucible
A missed yellow from Day proved costly as O’Sullivan made an 82 clearance and, although the Welshman replied by winning a scruffy frame, the seven-time world champion did not have to get out of second gear to dominate. The pattern remained the same after the interval as O’Sullivan cashed in on Day mistakes with frame-winning breaks of 56 and 96.
Maguire then moved within one frame of victory but Murphy continued to battle, a 67 break earning him the following frame before he took the first after the mid-session interval to trail by three.
