The bird suddenly flew down from the rafter inside the Crucible Theatre auditorium and alighted on the table as Yan was preparing his cue stick for the afternoon match against defending champion Selby.</p>

The intruder was then seen off by a referee so that the game could resume after the unexpected disruption.</p>
