Ronnie O’Sullivan cut a frustrated figure despite coming from 3-1 down to end the opening session of his World Championship quarter-final level at 4-4 with Stuart Bingham.
The seven-time world champion missed several uncharacteristic pots and rapped his cue against the table in the seventh frame.
Bingham the winner in 2015, made four half-century breaks, while ‘The Rocket’ knocked in two and the only century of the match in the fifth frame.
Meanwhile, four-time champion John Higgins recovered from a 4-0 deficit to trail Kyren Wilson 5-3.
Earlier on Tuesday, Judd Trump and Jak Jones finished a hard-fought opening session to their last-eight contest at 4-4 and David Gilbert established a commanding 7-1 lead over Stephen Maguire.
