Ding Junhui came from 4-0 behind, to defeat Mark Davis 10-7 in the first round of the World Snooker Championships this afternoon in Sheffield.

Despite the brilliant comeback, it will be the ninth frame that is remembered for Ding's 97 break.

The Chinese star successfully potted 12 reds and 12 blacks and seemed on course for a share of the £30,000 bonus for a 147 break before unexpectedly screwing back for the blue after potting his 13th red.

He failed to pot the black afterwards to continue the break and could only help but laugh at his unfortunate turn of events.
