David Gilbert and Kyren Wilson are level at 8-8 after a thrilling second session in their World Championship semi-final.
Having resumed at 4-4 overnight the contest continued in the same vein as Thursday, with both players producing free-flowing attacking snooker.
Gilbert, the 2019 semi-finalist, compiled a sublime 129 and also knocked in breaks of 92 and 106 in a match that has lived up to expectations between arguably the two form players of the tournament.With the pot success of both players currently at 91% or better it was another nip-and-tuck session. Gilbert, who has dropped down the world rankings in recent times and now sits 31st, was just as exciting to watch and his two century breaks saw him receive richly deserved ovations from fans inside the Crucible.
