Mark Selby criticised the “horrific” state of the Crucible table after crashing out of the World Championship in a 13-11 defeat to China’s Wu Yize.

Four-time champion Selby drew on his years of experience to push the 22-year-old rising star all the way but ultimately cut a frustrated figure as Wu held his nerve to book his place in the last eight.
