World number two Judd Trump staged a superb comeback to defeat Barry Hawkins 6-5 in the first round of the Masters.

Hawkins went 2-1 ahead but breaks of 99 and 73 put Trump in front and Hawkins won three in a row with knocks of 109, 85 and 61 to go one away from victory.

Trump responded with a break of 105 and also won the 10th, and he needed just one chance in the last to triumph.

Shaun Murphy beat Ricky Walden 6-4 to go through to the quarter-finals where he will face John Higgins.
