Seven-time champion Ronnie O'Sullivan moved into a 6-2 lead over Luca Brecel in a high-quality start to their World Championship quarter-final.

Belgium's Brecel made breaks of 93 and 68, while O'Sullivan responded with two half-centuries of his own as the duo traded the opening four frames.

However, 'the Rocket', 47, then pulled clear with runs of 59, a superb 128, 58 and 85 as Brecel faltered.

The winner will play either Anthony McGill or Si Jiahui in the semi-finals.
