Ross Arnold: The standard of snooker has been absolutely fantastic. No idea who's going to take it.

Guy Sudron: Who'd have thought that two blokes, two sticks, some balls and a green table could generate so much tension. Awesome.

A half-chance for Bingham. He is 16-9 ahead and has just gone into the pack of reds.

Former Liverpool and Germany midfielder Dietmar Hamann on Twitter:, external Would be buzzing for Bingham but I think Murphy will win now.

Hamann was at the Crucible a few days ago.

Tight and tense at the Crucible. The score in frames Murphy 15, Bingham 15. In this frame - Murphy 5, Bingham 6.

Hull were comprehensible outplayed in the first half by Arsenal, with the Gunners storming into a 3-0 lead at the break, courtesy of goals from Alexis Sanchez (2) and Aaron Ramsey.

But the Tigers have given themselves a slim hope of getting back into the game through Stephen Quinn, who has scored in the 56th minute.

Two early mistakes from Stuart Bingham in the 31st frame. He has to hold himself together or this is going to be a painful end for what has been a wonderful tournament from him.

Shamoon Hafez
BBC Sport at the Crucible Theatre

"Both players now need three frames to claim the title, but who can hold themselves together? It's tense at the Crucible, with plenty of oohs and aahs ringing around the arena. Everyone knows how important this 31st frame is.

"Bingham is starting to feel the pressure, while Murphy looks to be imposing himself on the match again. We could be in for a late one."

Steve Davis
Six-time world champion and BBC Sport expert

"There are times out there when you feel everything is working normally and you wouldn't want to be anywhere else, but there are times when someone's coming back at you and you feel like your arm's very heavy.

"You've got to just try and play to your natural instincts."

Emma Stephens: This is much more exciting than thought it would be.

James Andell: 15-15. Feel for Bingham at the moment. Looks like he's struggling big time with the nerves. Murphy was my bet at the start.

Aaron Jones: Very tight final this is. Bingham needs a good break next frame. Murphy needs to keep this pressure on. Sensational stuff!

"I was really impressed with Shaun Murphy's cuing there. There were a lot of challenging shots in that frame. Under the most extreme pressure he is cuing really well."

This final is currently shaping up for a very dramatic conclusion. But what other recent finals have been as close as this? Here is a little list of some other Crucible showdowns that have gone down to the last few frames this century...

2000: Mark Williams 18-16 Matthew Stevens

2002: Peter Ebdon 18-17 Stephen Hendry

2003: Mark Williams 18-16 Ken Doherty

2005: Shaun Murphy 18-16 Matthew Stevens

And we are level again. Shaun Murphy has been four ahead, three behind, but is now all square. Both players need three more.

Murphy has the frame in his grasp. He missed a red, but Stuart Bingham, opting to swerve at short distance, leaves the red hanging over the pocket.

Dave Sullivan: Sad to see, Bingham looks gone to me. Shades of McIlroy at Augusta. It will end up 18-15 to Murphy this, or 18-16.

But Bingham, trying to slow-roll a red into the corner, misses. He looks a bit rueful and this is a great chance for Murphy to take us level at 15-15.

Murphy first to make an impact in this frame. Fourteen points on the board. And he misses a blue off the spot into the middle pocket.

Colin Elliott: Brilliant snooker from both players this will bring more players to local clubs #pressure.

Happier than you: Bingham will kick himself if he loses. Been the best player in the tournament, form of his life. This is his one shot at glory.

Dave Perkins: Not sure I can watch the rest of the snooker - too nervous. Nothing against Shaun Murphy, but desperate for Stuart Bingham to win it.

Don't leave us now Dave.

Right, back to the action. The final session of the 2015 World Snooker Championship. Stuart Bingham needs three frames, Shaun Murphy four.

So who's going to win, our presenter Hazel Irvine asks.

"Oh, Hazel! I don't know! You keep asking me - one wins a frame, the other wins one. Ask Steve. Being serious, the next frame is huge just to see which player is coping with this."

IBF world Welterweight Champion Kell Brook on BBC Sport: "It has been so exciting. It is great snooker. It has been amazing, the way Murphy has come back. He is holding it together better now.

"I try to knock a few balls around to relax and take myself out of the boxing."
