Beaten - Stuart Bingham (Image: PA)
ZHANG Anda made a superb fightback to beat Basildon's Stuart Bingham at the UK Championship.
Bingham had seemed in complete control as he opened up a 5-1 lead over Zhang.
In the fifth frame, Bingham was set for a 147 chance, but missed the black after a 14th red as his break finished on 105.
Zhang, who made a maximum in his first round win over Lei Peifan, started what looked an unlikely recovery with a break of 81 to take the seventh frame.
The world number 11, though, continued to build momentum, as breaks of 70 and 108 saw him pull level.
From being so dominant, Bingham’s cueing deserted him as Zhang battled through the deciding frame 73-29 to take his place in the quarter-final line-up.
