- Ronnie O’Sullivan takes 12-4 lead against Mark Allen
- Pigeon lands on table during Yan Bingtao v Mark Selby
Ronnie O’Sullivan continued to home in on a record-equalling seventh Crucible title on a day when a pigeon fluttered on to centre stage at the World Snooker Championship in Sheffield.
The avian interloper flew down from the rafters and briefly alighted on the bottom cushion as Yan Bingtao prepared to break off in the sixth frame of his afternoon match against defending champion Mark Selby.
