Gloucester's Robert Milkins
GLOUCESTER'S Robert Milkins went out of the BetFred World Championships at the Crucible, Sheffield, after a tremendous mid-match revival.
Milkins was 7-2 down to world number one Mark Selby but reeled off four frames without reply to get to within one of the Leicester ace.
But Selby regained his form and, from 7-6 ahead, the 'Jester from Leicester' ran in the next two frames.
Milkins had a chance to claw back into the match when he went 64-0 up but he missed an easy red into the corner pocket and deadly Selby cleared up to win the frame 70-64 and take a 10-6 victory.
