Snooker: Mark Selby stays on course for World Championship title

Mark Selby resumes his quest for a first world title this evening with a healthy 6-3 lead over Matthew Selt.

The 'Jester from Leicester' was not at his free-flowing best, struggling to make a break of any note, but he showed enough class to race into a 5-0 lead.

Romford's Selt, ranked 45 in the world and a Crucible debutant, managed to overcome any nerves to win three of the final four frames in last night's session, but he faces a tall order when the match continues this evening.

Barry Hawkins awaits the winner, with Selby hoping to go all the way and complete the Triple Crown of World, UK and Masters titles in the same season.

Selby's fellow Leicester potter Ben Woollaston missed out on a dream second-round clash against Ronnie O'Sullivan.

Trailing just 5-4 to Ali Carter going into last night's final session, Woollaston failed to get a frame on the board and bowed out to last year's runner-up 10-4.
