Four-time world champion John Higgins produced a vintage display to establish an 8-0 lead over England's Kyren Wilson in the World Championship second round.The world number 11 also produced breaks of 77, 57 and 80 in Sheffield.

Higgins, last a Crucible title-winner in 2011, needs to win five more frames on Sunday evening to secure a 17th quarter-final berth in snooker's premier event with a session to spare.He led 4-0 at the mid-session interval following breaks of 57 and 77, with Wilson having no answer to his slick potting.
Further breaks of 134 and 80 saw Higgins close out the session in style to leave his opponent with a mountain to climb.
