Ken Doherty is through to the second round of the World Snooker Championships after coming from behind to beat Stuart Bingham 10-5 at the Crucible.

The Dubliner punched the air after coming from 5-3 behind with a brilliant final session, and completed his first victory in Sheffield since 2006 in the process.

The 44-year-old failed to qualify in three of the last five years and spent his time on commentary duties for the BBC.

However, Doherty – the oldest player in the tourmament – rolled back the years with breaks of 55, two breaks of 60 and another of 57 to take the victory.

This puts the win into context…
