Stuart Bingham misses an attempted red and Shaun Murphy is back in to extend his lead to 65-0. Before he then plays safe.

Well he was in a good position but Murphy's break comes to an abrupt halt on 37 as the black ball gets in the way of his attempted red.

Jenny Gaskell: I don't understand how people can be socialising, all out & about on snooker bank holiday. So tense I keep forgetting to breathe.

Paul: Shaun Murphy's shoes were also used during the filming of Bugsy Malone.

Emma Godley: Rushed home from holiday to watch the snooker, will it be worth it?

And breathe, Jenny.

An early chance for Murphy. The reds are all over the place. Worth pointing out Murphy is back in the black and white shoes he wore yesterday.

So that's the last time we see Shaun Murphy's red suit, the one that made such an impact on social media, at this year's tournament.

But then again, he is not the first snooker player to wear some crazy clothes. As these great pictures from the BBC archives prove.

Both pictures come from Big Break Christmas charity specials from the 1990s.

The top one features Steve Davis, Dennis Taylor and Stephen Hendry, while the bottom image has Taylor, John Virgo, Big Break presenter Jim Davidson, John Parrott and Davis in their best gear.

Bad news for fans of Shaun Murphy's red suit that he wore earlier. If there are any fans of that suit, of course.

He has gone conservative with his outfit for tonight. No-one wants to lift the world title trophy wearing a red suit.

World Championship finalist Stuart Bingham: "It would be an unbelievable feeling to lift that trophy up after all the people who have lifted it before. It would mean everything."

World Championship finalist Shaun Murphy: "It didn't mean as much to me at 22 so to win this championship again would be the biggest moment of my life. It will mean so much to him [Stuart Bingham]. If I wasn't in the final I would probably want him to win it."

World number nine Joe Perry on Twitter:, external Good luck to Shaun Murphy and Stuart Bingham tonight. Whoever wins will make a great world champion! Snooker is the winner.

We play to a finish tonight. By the end of the evening we will have a champion. No matter how long it takes. The winner will be the one who gets to 18 frames. So we will have a minimum of four frames, but a maximum of 10 frames.

Get comfortable, pour yourself a drink, get the popcorn. Do not go anywhere.

Only on four occasions has a player gone into the final session at the Crucible trailing and gone on to win the title.

Shaun Murphy trailed 12-11 in 2005 and won 18-16 against Matthew Stevens and Mark Williams trailed 13-11 in 2000 and won 18-16 also against Stevens.

Further back, Stephen Hendry was 14-10 behind against Jimmy White (pictured) in 1992 before winning the next eight frames.

Dennis Taylor was losing 13-11 to Steve Davis in that famous 1985 final before winning 18-17 on the final black.

"There is a lot more snooker to play. Stuart Bingham is in his final session of a World Championship final and the atmosphere is going to be immense."

Michael McGrory: What a final so far. Wonder 30 years on could it go to 17-17 & a black ball finish in the decider?

Castiel: Bingham has pushed himself to his absolute best which is absolutely great to watch. What a brilliant final this is.

Carl Oluwole: Stuart Bingham playing the match of his life, really exciting snooker final. I'm hoping for a Shaun Murphy comeback.

"Former professional Joe Johnson has been in the media centre at the Crucible today, now working as a commentator for Eurosport.

"Some journalists in the media centre are drawing parallels between Bingham's run and Johnson's surprise World Championship victory in 1986.

"No-one expected Johnson to beat Steve Davis all those years ago, so can Bingham follow him and write his name into snooker folklore?"

And off we go again. Welcome back. I'm Michael Emons and will be guiding you through the rest of the World Snooker Championship final.

It may well be the biggest night of Stuart Bingham's life. He leads Shaun Murphy 14-11 and needs four more frames to be the champion of the world.

So we will leave our coverage there for a couple of hours, with Stuart Bingham 14-11 ahead in the final. Can he finish off the job tonight? Make sure you do not miss anything for what promises to be an exciting evening. We will be back just before 19:00 BST for the final session.

Our television coverage has just focused on Steve Davis's attempts to recreate the black ball finish to the 1985 World final, with a range of celebrities trying to cut the black in. Davis's miss let in Dennis Taylor to win the best final in World Championship history.

Let it go, Steve. Let it go.

A pregnant Rebecca Adlington misses the ball altogether, Joey Essex, he of The Only Way is Essex fame, misses as he sends the black all around the table.

Comedian Josh Widdicombe fails, as does opera singer Russell Watson. But there is success for Pointless co-presenter Richard Osman. He cuts the black in and celebrates just like Dennis Taylor.

So there you have it. Richard Osman is a better snooker player than Steve Davis.

"It's a dangerous time for Stuart; you don't want to start getting ahead of yourself. There's a long way to go and I'm sure Shaun will come out tonight all guns blazing. It's important that the people around him keep him on an even keel."

Antileen: Amazing session of snooker, Bingham at his very best, could be a thrilling end tonight.

Andrew Scullion: What a position Stuart Bingham has put himself in. Incredible session. All he needs to do is keep his game together.
