The UK Snooker Championship continues with another intriguing day of action in store at the Barbican in York, including Ronnie O’Sullivan, Mark Selby and Judd Trump, but John Higgins and world champion Luca Brecel are out.

O'Sullivan warned he will continue "stinking out gaffs" after limping past Robert Milkins 6-5 and now takes on Zhou Yuelong.
