The battle to face odds-on favourite Ronnie O'Sullivan in the final is still in the balance after Perry recovered from a 9-7 overnight deficit.

A completely out of touch Carter managed to amass just 24 points during his mini whitewash before the mid-session interval as a see-saw clash took another turn in fortunes but he responded by winning three of the final four games and a late finish is on the cards between two journeymen players bidding to reach their first world final.

Almost inevitably there is a sense of anti-climax after the superb display by O'Sullivan in demolishing Stephen Hendry 17-6.

But Carter and Perry have also scored heavily when amongst the balls and there have been 18 breaks of more than 50 during the 24 frames.
