To snooker and the final of the International Championship in Daqing, Heilongjiang Province. China's Ding Junhui would face world champ Mark Selby -- it is the third time the pair have met this year with a title in the balance, with each winning once.

Plenty on the line for the Englishman, as a victory would see him claim his fourth title since the start of 2016, most of any player on the circuit.
