Mark Allen cruised past Noppon Saengkham 6-1 to make the final of the British Open in Milton Keynes.

The Northern Ireland potter Allen amassed a break of 50-plus in each of the first five frames, including a run of 133, as his Thai opponent claimed just 11 points before pulling a frame back.

Allen, 36, had gotten beyond former world champions Judd Trump and Mark Selby in his run.

He will play England's Robbie Williams or Welshman Ryan Day in Sunday's final.
