Snooker: Doherty edges through - full report

Ken Doherty and Peter Ebdon reached the second round of the Embassy World Championship at Sheffield’s Crucible Theatre tonight - but in hugely contrasting styles.

While Ebdon moved through the gears as he turned a 5-4 lead over Michael Judge into a 10-4 triumph, Doherty could not shake off Stuart Bingham until he finally crossed the finishing line a 10-8 winner.
