Mei Xiwen produced the upset of the day as he beat five-time world champion Ronnie O’Sullivan 4-3 at the last-16 stage of the English Open in Crawley.

Mei, 37, produced breaks of 69, 52 and 71 to progress to a career-first ranking quarter-final, where he will face Mark Selby, who beat Guodong Xiao 4-1.

The Rocket led 2-1 and 3-2 but some uncharacteristic loose play from O’Sullivan allowed the world number 70 Mei back in to snatch the last two frames to seal the win.
