Stephen Hendry has set up a second round clash with John Higgins at the World Championship in Sheffield.

Seven-time winner Hendry was rarely troubled by Stuart Bingham as he recorded a 10-4 victory at the Crucible on Sunday.

Meanwhile, defending champion Higgins edged out Liang Wenbo 10-9 during a tense match on Saturday.

It will be the first time that the pair have faced each other at the tournament.
