Chinese hotshot electric as he races into 6-2 lead
Higgins battles back to 4-4 against Murphy
Wu Yize took control of the world championship semi-final against Mark Allen as he reeled off the closing four frames to open up a 6-2 lead. After Thursday’s evening session had been interrupted by a power outage at the Crucible, the 22-year-old from China produced a clinical run to leave Allen watching on from his chair.
Earlier, with the Northern Irishman at the table looking to recover from going 2-0 down, the BBC’s TV and online broadcast went off air and screens above the table in the venue also showed no signal.
The World Snooker Tour posted a brief update on X: “Broadcast has been paused at the Halo World Championship due to a technical issue, we are working towards resolving this.”
