European Masters snooker: Mark Selby reaches quarter-finals despite another scare


World number one Mark Selby survived a major scare to book his place in the quarter-finals of the European Masters by beating Jack Lisowski 4-3.

Lisowski, ranked number 57 in the world, led 2-0 thanks to a break of 127 and then 3-2, but Selby dug deep to win the next two frames to set up a quarter-final with Stuart Bingham.

Bingham eventually got the better of local hero Luca Brecel 4-2, after being level at 2-2.

Judd Trump and Mark Allen will battle it out for a place in the semi-finals after both recorded 4-2 victories over David Gilbert and Ben Woollaston respectively.

Mark Williams will play Cao Yupeng after staging a late comeback to beat Neil Robertson 4-2 thanks to a break of 102 to seal victory in the sixth frame.

Yupeng needed all seven frames to beat Billy Joe Castle in a closely-contested battle and he will now meet Scot Anthony McGill who edged out Mark Davis 4-3.
