World number one Judd Trump eased into the semi-finals of the Champion of Champions event in Leicester with victories over Bai Yulu and Lei Peifan respectively.

Trump got his campaign underway in Group Two with a 4-1 win over reigning women's world champion Bai, who won the first frame before the favourite reeled off three half-centuries in a four-frame burst.

Lei, who earned his place in the competition by winning the Scottish Open in December, booked his place in the group decider with an impressive 4-1 win over Shaun Murphy.

Lei fired the only century break of the quarter-final in the second frame but Trump slowly pulled away and completed a 6-2 victory with a break of 71.
