Defending champion Judd Trump reached the last 16 of the English Open with a clinical 4-1 win over Matthew Selt at Brentwood.
Selt did not make a single pot until the third frame as two-time winner Trump eased to a comfortable win. He will face Fan Zhengyi next following his 4-2 win over Oliver Lines.
Second seed Kyren Wilson also progressed with ease courtesy of a 4-1 win over Anthony McGill.
Mark Selby was in good touch with a 4-0 win over Joe O'Connor, peaking with a break of 137 in the second frame. China's Sia Jiahui awaits after coming through a much closer contest, edging his compatriot Jiang Jun 4-3.
Luca Brecel continued his season of disappointment as he slumped to a 4-3 loss at the hands of Pang Junxu, the Belgian unable to recapture the magic that saw him take last year's world championship.
John Higgins, Ross Muir and He Guoqiang all celebrated 4-1 scorelines, beating David Gilbert, Jamie Jones and Stephen Maguire respectively.
