Neil Robertson and Marco Fu are locked in an epic encounter at the Crucible with the pair 8-8 going into the final session.

Going in at 4-4 there were some jokes that it would finish as 8-8 but that is exactly what happened following some intense snooker.

With some mistakes along the way as well as some exceptional stuff the pair traded blows and they just cannot be separated.

73-16, 60-69, 51-63 (Dott 51, Hawkins 50), 13-81, 79-43 (64), 8-72 (54), 0-92 (91), 6-91, 69-24, 57-70 (Dott 57, Hawkins 70), 28-59, 66-1 (65), 59-41 (59), 109-8 (105), 62-50

Centuries: One.

Graeme Dott fought back with the first century of his match against Barry Hawkins but 'The Hawk' is very much in control and is favourite to reach the quarter-finals.

Dott made a number of mistakes as Hawkins opened up an 8-3 lead but eventually he fought back to keep himself within touching distance.

75-19 (67), 88-29 (58), 25-93, 80-5, 70-17 (51), 80-40 (76), 8-89 (89), 72-49, 0-89, 62-28, 0-131 (131), 68-54 (Selby 68, Guodong 54), 70-39, 71-35, 51-67 (Selby 51), 16-62

Centuries: One

Talented youngster Xiao Guodong impressed against world number one Mark Selby but he faces a fight on his hand against the defending champion.

Xiao notched the only century of the match but Selby moved to 10-4 with some typically resilient snooker.

However Xiao showed backbone of his own as he won the final two frames of the session to keep things interesting.

72-43, 94-31 (67), 56-14, 72-43, 85-6 (71), 0-73 (73), 45-63, 72-23 (63), 118-21 (114), 87-48, 43-89, 68-20 (61), 106-16 (90), 71-60 (McLeod 60), 87-28 (57), 52-66

Centuries: None

Stephen Maguire produced an excellent second session against Rory McLeod to secure victory and move into the quarter-finals.

Neither player made a century but Maguire won seven out of the eight frames in the session and punished a series of mistakes from McLeod, who had caused the shock of the tournament by beating Judd Trump.

Maguire now faces the winner of the game between Barry Hawkins and Graeme Dott.

Marco Fu fought back against Neil Robertson to level their match at 4-4 after the first session of their second round match.

Robertson, the 2010 world champion, raced into a 4-1 lead advantage courtesy of runs of 105, 62, 62 and 90 but Fu rallied.

The world number eight got his hand on the table early in the sixth frame and compiled a break of 118 to cut the arrears.

A 60 followed from Fu as he moved to within one frame before he ground out a tactical eighth to go to the interval at parity.

Elsewhere, Barry Hawkins fought back from two frames down to take a 5-3 lead against Graeme Dott.

105-1 (105), 6-66, 86-0 (62), 78-31 (62), 90-30 (90), 1-119 (118), 14-98 (60)
