Jak Jones stands four frames away from becoming the first qualifier to reach the World Snooker Championship final since 2016 after establishing a 13-10 lead over Stuart Bingham in their Crucible semi-final.
Resuming at 8-8, Jones briefly fell behind before reeling off five frames in a row to seize the initiative in their error-strewn clash.
Bingham gave himself hope of hauling back the deficit with a flamboyant break of 104 in the seventh and final frame of the session.
SF END OF SESSION: Bingham 10-13 Jones.
