Ronnie O’Sullivan rallied from the brink of defeat to beat Ding Junhui in a final frame decider and keep alive his hopes of an eighth Masters title.

O’Sullivan looked to be heading out of the tournament when he trailed 5-3 with Ding on a break of 28, but a simple missed red to the middle cost the Chinese player dear.
