Mark Allen fired a maximum 147 break but he is one frame away from defeat in his World Snooker Championship match against Chris Wakelin.

The Northern Irish star clinched the 15th maximum at the Crucible and the first since Mark Selby's clearance in the 2023 final after a nightmare start to the session that saw him slip 10-2 behind against the qualifier.

Allen punched the air after sinking the black and was warmly congratulated by Wakelin.
