Allen beats Jun to progress in British Open

With a 4-1 victory over Jiang Jun from China, Mark Allen made it to the second round of the British Open.

Allen jumped out in the Cheltenham final to win his first ranking title in 19 months with a victory in the Sunday English Open final.

Jun was out of the lead after the first two frames, but the Northern Irish player rallied to claim the third frame.

Jun did hold on for the final frame of the fourth round, but former world no. 1 Allen completed the feat in the fifth to advance to the next round.
