Ronnie O'Sullivan trails amateur James Cahill in World Championship first round

Amateur James Cahill is five frames away from producing one of the all-time sporting shocks at the Crucible.

The first amateur to play at the World Championship, Cahill leads Ronnie O'Sullivan 5-4 at the halfway stage of their first-round match in Sheffield.

O'Sullivan, the world number one and near-unbackable favourite, looked out of sorts throughout and must pick his game up when play resumes on Tuesday morning.
