ROCKET TO FACE DING IN FINAL
Ding Junhui will face defending champion Ronnie O'Sullivan in his first Premier League snooker final after a 5-3 win over Judd Trump in Norfolk.
The Chinese potter produced some fine break-building after a lacklustre start to book a Sunday showdown.
After the opening four frames were shared, Ding seized the initiative in the fifth with a total clearance of 139 - the second biggest break of the championship.
Trump had a golden opportunity in the next after Ding left an easy red but he missed the centre pocket and Ding went on to double his lead.
The Bristolian took the next frame to stay in the hunt but a break of 75 saw Ding over the line.
O'Sullivan eased into his eighth successive final after a 5-2 win over Mark Williams.
Their scoreline had also been poised at 2-2 but The Rocket fired ahead with breaks of 55 and 36 and convincingly closed out the match. - http://www.sportinglife.com
