02 May 2021 04:03AMLONDON: Former title-holders Mark Selby and Stuart Bingham were left contemplating a late-night finish to their snooker World Championship semi-final on Saturday .

With the start time of the concluding session of the second semi-final approaching, officials halted the match with Selby leading 16-15 and needing one more frame to reach the sport's pinnacle match for the fifth time.And with 2005 champion Shaun Murphy and Kyren Wilson, last year's losing finalist, locked at 12-12 in another all-English contest, Selby and Bingham could be in for a long wait in Sheffield.

Three-time champion Selby appeared to be compiling a match-winning break in the 31st frame only to run out of position on 44 and let Bingham, the 2015 Crucible king, in for a clearance of 85 that forced extra-time. Earlier, Murphy won the final three frames of the morning session to draw level after he had been 10-4 behind in a best-of-33-frames encounter.
