Ronnie O'Sullivan will face Judd Trump in the Northern Ireland Open final after knocking out world number one Mark Selby in a thrilling semi-final.

World number three O'Sullivan won Saturday's last-four clash on the final black to take a 6-5 victory in Belfast.

O'Sullivan, who won the Champion of Champions event last week, led for most of the match only for Selby to hit back from 5-3 down to force a decider.

He will play world number five Trump, who saw off Eden Sharav in the second semi-final.

Trump survived a brief Sharav revival as he fought back from 4-1 down to 4-3 before Trump saw out the final two frames with ease.
