Liang keeps pace with Ding

The all-Chinese encounter in the first round of the Betfred.com World Snooker Championship remained anyone’s game as Liang Wenbo hit back to trail Ding Junhui only 7-6 at the mid-session interval.

Leading 5-4 overnight, Ding had looked set to finish the match after taking the first two frames of the day to go 7-4 ahead.
