Six-time champion Ronnie O'Sullivan opened up a 5-3 lead over Judd Trump in their World Championship final.
Trump, the 2019 winner, won the opener with a composed break of 72.
But world number one O'Sullivan then took over with two superb centuries and a break of 68 to reel off the next five frames.
Trump, who saw his table time limited, responded with a 97 and held his nerve to reduce his arrears in a tense final frame of the session.
Their final resumes on Sunday evening at 19:00 BST.
