Higgins hits back to level up tight world snooker semi-final clash with Murphy

Scot battles back to 4-4 from 3-1 in opening session
Mark Allen facing Wu Yize in the second semi-final

Shaun Murphy was reminded his mission of ending a 21-year wait for a second world crown will not be straightforward as he was pegged back by the four-time champion John Higgins in their semi-final.

The 2005 champion has moved through the gears since squeaking out a 10-9 first-round win over Fan Zhengyi, easing past Xiao Guodong in round two before conquering the reigning world champion Zhao Xintong in the quarter-finals to set up a last-four showdown with Higgins and a repeat of the 2009 final.
