  1. Hello

    Good afternoon and welcome to BBC Sport's live text commentary from the first day of the 2016 World Snooker Championship final.

    We have Mark Selby, the world number one, bidding for his second world title, while Ding Junhui is in his first final and is aiming to become the first Asian world champion.

    It is going to be fun, it is going to be dramatic.

  2. Two men remain

    We've seen shocks, upsets, records broken, great drama and now only two men remain. But only one man can become the world champion. Who will get their hands on the trophy?
