Swail trails to Liang

China’s Liang Wenbo reproduced the form which accounted for former champion Ken Doherty to take an early lead in his second round clash with Joe Swail at the 888.com World Championship today.

Liang beat Doherty 10-5 in the first round at the Crucible and proved that was no fluke as he opened up a 3-1 lead over Northern Ireland’s Swail at the mid-session interval.
