  1. Shaun Murphy is edging closer to the Masters trophy here. Ten frames will win it, Neil Robertson to break. He needs this one.

  2. Steve Davis
    Six-time world champion on BBC TV

    "It all went wrong for Neil Robertson in that frame. Early on, he was in prime position but played a poor shot to hamper himself."

  3. Shaun Murphy wins the ninth frame

    Shaun Murphy

    Neil Robertson pots the yellow but a double on the green misses middle left. Shaun Murphy then gets lucky with the green which leaves nothing on for Robertson. This frame is 30 minutes old already as a tactical battles ensues before a mistake by Robertson gifts Murphy the pink and allows him to clean up.

  5. Neil Robertson doesn't take up the chance, sinking a solitary red before Shaun Murphy is back in. He plays it safe and Robertson sinks the final red middle left, but can't follow that up. 53-32.

  7. Shaun Murphy tucks the cue ball up behind a red near the baulk cushion. Neil Robertson kisses it and sends the cue ball down the other end. Murphy's safety is poor and presents Robertson with the chance to take this frame.

  8. Big frame this one and don't both players know it? It is all very tactical with no clear opportunities on the two reds remaining on the table.

  9. Shaun Murphy misses a red to put Neil Robertson back in but a double kiss means another visit for Murphy. The cue ball is up against the cushion but Murphy pulls out a beautiful long pot straight down the throat of the green pocket. 51-32.

  10. This is good stuff so far from Neil Robertson, he has a 51-8 advantage but there are some difficult reds on the table to come, but he misses a long blue before them.

  11. First blood to Shaun Murphy with a lovely long pot to the bottom right. Black is on and Murphy has the chance to build a healthy score here, but he only manages eight when another long red hits the jaw of the green pocket. Neil Robertson steps up to the table.

  12. It is a typical, tentative safety battle in the opening minutes of this frame, no-one wants to give an inch.

  13. Ken Doherty
    Former world champion on BBC TV

    "The atmosphere is making the hairs on the back of my neck stand-up, I don't know what it feels like for the players.

    "We know how crowds love a comeback, they will certainly want to see one tonight. It is imperative for Neil Robertson to get the first frame on the board."

  19. Murphy's 127

    Snooker

    We've had one century in this final, Shaun Murphy winning the third frame with a break of 127, which you can watch again online. More to come?

  20. BBC Sport's Frank Keogh: "Murphy was rated a 7-4 outsider by bookmakers to win the final but is clear favourite at 1-4 after opening up a big lead, while Robertson (odds-on at 1-2 beforehand) is now out to about 3-1.

    "The Magician, whose world title win came 10 years ago, began the tournament at Alexandra Palace as a relatively unconsidered 16-1 shot, while the Thunder from Down Under was 7-1 third favourite, behind Ronnie O'Sullivan and Judd Trump."
