Ding Junhui's victory means he will be meeting Ronnie O'Sullivan in a major final for the fifth time
Ding Junhui will face Ronnie O'Sullivan in Sunday's World Grand Prix final after beating world number one Mark Selby 6-5 in Preston.
Selby won the 47-minute opening frame and there was little to separate the pair in a match that saw them peg each other back at 2-2, 3-3 and 4-4.
A century break put China's Ding 5-4 up and one frame from victory before Leicester's Selby levelled again.
But a break of 83 in the final frame saw Ding into the final.
O'Sullivan beat Stephen Maguire in Friday's first semi-final.
Ding will be meeting O'Sullivan in a major final for the fifth time, and the pair will be competing for a £100,000 top prize.
The first session of the best-of-19 frames contest starts at 13:00 GMT.
