Action from Day 2 of the 2017 Betfred World Snooker Championships

Ronnie O'Sullivan won through to the second round of the Snooker World Championship after a stiff test from Crucible debutant Gary Wilson.

Having been 5-1 up in the first session, Wilson won 3 in a row to leave it 5-4 overnight.
 Gary Wilson places the cue ball to break off at the start of the 10th frame




 Referee Brendan Moore asks for an unruly member of the crowd to leave the arena
 Re-spots the white after a foul...
 ...and asks Hawkeye to confirm the placement
 The joy of Ronnie - potting a pink across the table - right handed...
 ...then taking the next red into the bottom pocket using his left hand
Ronnie gets the cue extension out which is always a good shot - until you get blocked by a cameraman.  Happens in every sport - you get used to it as a sports photographer
O'Sullivan made 124, 83 and 74 to go 9-5 ahead, Wilson hitting back with 103 before losing out 10-7 in the end.
