Four-time world champion Mark Selby maintained a slender 11-10 lead over Mark Allen in a hard-fought World Championship semi-final.

Selby resumed with a 7-6 overnight advantage and pulled further clear with breaks of 63 and 112 as he won the first two frames on Saturday.

However, a pumped-up Allen responded with runs of 58 and 92 on his way to winning four of the next six.

Their match will be played to a conclusion from 19:00 BST.
