Judd Trump shrugged off a slow start to establish a 5-3 lead over Shaun Murphy by the end of the first session of their World Championship second-round clash at the Crucible.

Trump had initially looked ill at ease against his fellow former champion before recovering to claim the initiative ahead of the resumption of their best-of-25 frames match-up on Sunday evening.
