O’Sullivan shoots into lead

Ronnie O'Sullivan leads Barry Hawkins 10-7 after the first day of the World Championship final at the Crucible.

The landslide victory for the Rocket that many predicted certainly hasn’t materialised, with Hawkins making the defending champion sweat for the first time in the tournament.

Four-time winner O'Sullivan, 37, made four century breaks to surpass Stephen Hendry's previous record of 127 at the venue.
