Former world champion Shaun Murphy upset home favourite Ding Junhui to book his place in the quarter-finals.

The Rotherham player edged to a 5-4 victory and will now play Belfast's Mark Allen.

Murphy said: "I'm sure the match was great entertainment for anyone watching.

"We both had some good and bad luck throughout the match, but Ding was unlucky in the last frame to leave the final brown ball over the pocket.

"It couldn't have finished in a better place for me."
