Wilson set up the clash after he claimed a 4-2 victory over Jamie Jones in a late-night first-round encounter in Llandudno last night.

Wilson took the first frame with a break of 70 but the match was evenly poised at 2-2 after four frames before the 24-year-old won the crucial fifth after needing a snooker.

The Kettering man followed that up with a break of 73 to clinch victory and book a match against world number 10 Perry from 7pm this evening.

The tournament is being screened live on ITV 4.
