Luca Brecel produced an incredible display of potting to open up a 15-10 lead over Mark Selby and move within three frames of a first world title.

The Belgian exhibited his full repertoire of shots in sublime breaks of 113, 101 and 141 as he reeled off the first four frames on Monday.

Four-time champion Selby, who trailed 9-8 overnight, briefly rallied with consecutive half-centuries.

But Brecel replied with a run of 119 and took the afternoon's final frame.

The best-of-35 encounter concludes this evening at 19:00 BST.
