Good morning and welcome to The Independent’s coverage of the World Snooker Championship. We’re at the semi-final stage of the tournament with most of the bigger names having already been dumped out of the tournament.

Of the 16 seeded players only Kyren Wilson (12) has made it through to the final four. His ability to rack up big breaks and close out matches helped him to a 13-8 victory over John Higgins in the quarter-finals and he’ll be a tough opponent for 41-year-old David Gilbert.

Gilbert has had a exemplary run through the competition so far, beating 2023 world champion Luca Brecel in the opening round before sweeping aside Robert Milkins and Stephen Maguire. His form has improved throughout the tournament and has carried him to a first semi-final appearance at the Crucible in five years.

These two go head-to-head for the first semi-final session this afternoon before the other two semi-finalist, Stuart Bingham and Jak Jones, take to the table this evening.

Yesterday, Bingham played a terrific match of mental fortitude to hold off World No. 1 Ronnie O’Sullivan and three winning frames in a row took him into the semis while Jak Jones, a qualifier for the tournament, overcame an underpar Judd Trump to continue his fariytale run.

We’ll have coverage from both matches throughout the day so stick around for all the snooker goodness.
