Australia's Neil Robertson needs five frames to book a place in the quarter-finals of the World Snooker Championship in Sheffield.
There was little to choose between world No.8 Marco Fu and No.9 Robertson on Sunday - with the winner of the contest to face either Mark Selby or Xiao Guodong.
Robertson and Fu are locked at 8-8 going into Monday's resumption of play.
Fu hit back from 4-1 down to head into the evening session against the Australian at 4-4, with a 118 the start of his recovery - and the first two frames of the evening were shared.
The Hong Kong player then took the lead for the first time in the contest when a break of 72 helped him to win the 13th - but the see-saw nature of the contest was to continue.
Robertson won the next two to regain the lead, only for Fu to land the 16th and ensure the pair were level again.
