Judd Trump dominated a scrappy opening session of his World Championship semi-final to claim a 7-1 lead over three-time champion Mark Williams.
Trump, who won the title in 2019, took an edgy first frame and made two breaks of 70 to lead 3-0 at the Crucible.
Williams responded prior to the mid-session interval, but Trump made three more half-centuries as he pulled away.
Six-time champion Ronnie O'Sullivan faces four-time winner John Higgins in the other semi, starting at 19:00 BST.
Trump and Williams resume on Friday at 10:00, with the Welshman facing a huge uphill task to reach his fifth Crucible final from this best-of-33 encounter.
