Semi-final

Wizard takes lead

Scot John Higgins maintained his twoframe World Championship semi-final advantage over Kyren Wilson after an intriguing evening session at the Crucible last night.

Higgins opened up a 12-9 lead but Wilson responded with breaks of 106 and then 93 to get to within a frame.

Higgins rallied, however, and a run of 91 saw him take a 13-11 lead going into today.

The Wizard of Wishaw is aiming to capture the coveted World Championship crown for a fifth time.
