• Cahill is first amateur to plat at World Championships
• John Higgins and Shaun Murphy both safely through
Amateur James Cahill is five frames away from producing one of the all-time sporting shocks at the Crucible. Cahill, the first amateur to play at the World Championship, leads Ronnie O’Sullivan 5-4 at the halfway stage of their first-round match in Sheffield.
World No1 O’Sullivan looked out of sorts throughout and must pick his game up when play resumes on Tuesday morning. Cahill rarely looked in awe of his fancied opponent, who is chasing a sixth world crown.
