Ali Carter has booked a place in the semi-finals of the world snooker championship after claiming a 13-9 victory over Peter Ebdon at the Crucible.

Carter, 28, who held a 9-7 overnight lead after hitting a historic maximum break yesterday, will face either Stephen Maguire or Joe Perry in the last four. The 28-year-old was in clinical mood as he reeled off four straight frames to wrap up victory.

In the morning's other quarter-final, Ronnie O'Sullivan produced a fluent display to move from 4-4 into an 11-5 lead against Chinese qualifier Liang Wenbo. O'Sullivan requires two frames from the afternoon session to seal victory.
