All-Square in Wuxi Final
Eight frames played in the final of today’s Wuxi Classic between World Cup team-mates Mark Selby and Ali Carter and the two remain locked at 4-4.

The action resumes shortly although unfortunately for viewers here in the UK, Eurosport will not be showing live coverage of the second session with highlights to be broadcast later this evening.
