Davis on verge of final spot

Steve Davis continued his magnificent run at the Travis Perkins UK Championship by storming to an amazing 7-1 lead in his emotionally-charged semi-final against Stephen Hendry today.

The two legends of the green baize had been expected to revive memories of their great battles of the early 1990s in front of a full house at York’s Barbican Centre but the opening session proved incredibly one-sided.
