Rocket rallies to edge ahead

Ronnie O’Sullivan overcame an horrendous start to move into a 9-7 lead at the half-way stage of his Embassy World Championship final with rank outsider Graeme Dott at The Crucible Theatre.

O’Sullivan had been stunned to find himself trailing 5-0 at one juncture to Dott, who was a 200-1 long shot at the start of the tournament.
