O'Sullivan went 2-1 up initially, although really he should have been 3-0 up after a mistake in the second frame.

However Selby then hit back and he went on to claim each of the following five frames to take total control of the final.

The world number one was impervious with some of his potting but what was more surprising was some of O'Sullivan's mistakes.

He was uncharacteristically sloppy with some easy pots and he allowed Selby back in, an opportunity that he didn't pass up.

It leaves O'Sullivan with everything to do in the evening session.
