Part one of a Leicester title double has just been completed. And part two may follow very soon. Selby is in an amazingly good position. This is his chance.

Arabelle: What'll happen to Selby's game when someone accidentally reveals the Leicester news?
Ben Rogers: I assume all this excitement about Leicester is because Mark Selby is just one frame from the snooker World championship?
Chelsea 2-2 Tottenham
Leicester City have won the Premier League courtesy of Tottenham drawing 2-2 at Chelsea.
It is the greatest Premier League story ever told. The Chelsea fans have been singing "there's only one Ranieri" around Stamford Bridge - tonight, it is Leicester's night.
Tottenham led 2-0 but, Gary Cahill and Eden Hazard pegged them back and the gap is now seven points to Leicester, with only two matches left.
Mark Selby 17-14 Ding Junhui (59-11)
One more. Just one more frame.
Imagine playing against Mark Selby, it would be an absolute nightmare. The frame takes 51 minutes, but Selby will not care one bit. He wins it 59-11.
Mark Selby 16-14 Ding Junhui
He doesn't go for the straight-forward one, he goes for a fancy double instead. And it pays off with the red pocketed and then Selby opts for a snooker behind the black. Selby's playing the percentage game, and it could well bring him the title.
Mark Selby 16-14 Ding Junhui
A half-chance for Selby. He is now 50-11 up, and Ding has just missed a rolled red into the top right pocket.Selby has a tricky-looking cut on a red into the middle. Does he go for it and take the risk or does he play safe?

BBC Sport at the Crucible Theatre
"Ding Junhui was standing at the table when suddenly the media room burst into cheers.
"Chelsea had equalised against Tottenham which means the Leicester double of Premier League and Mark Selby winning the World Championship is on.
"Wonder if anyone in the arena has told him the score?"
As it stands, the title is Leicester's. Eden Hazard curls a wonderful effort into the top right hand corner and Stamford Bridge, as well as the East Midlands, erupts.
Spurs have to win to have a chance of the Premier League trophy. You can follow all the drama unfold here.
There are five minutes plus injury-time for Spurs to score again, or the title is heading to Leicester.

Hope you're comfortable. Two of the three reds left are wedged against the top cushion. We are going to be here for a long, long time. The score is still 43-7 to Selby.
Meanwhile, things are getting interesting, very, very interesting at Stamford Bridge....

Terry Martin: This has to be the best final since Davis v Taylor. Come on Ding Junhui.
KGR: The tension on every ball right now!
Mark Selby 16-14 Ding Junhui
So, it is 43-7 in Selby's favour with three reds on the table. And then another warning from referee Paul Collier for everyone to turn their phones off. Far, far too many times has he had to say that over the last two days.

BAFTA-winning actress Brenda Blethyn has seen, and been in, plenty of drama in her time. She is loving the show put on at the Crucible Theatre tonight.
Mark Selby 16-14 Ding Junhui
We are at a stage where every shot is one played under huge pressure. Selby, despite awkward cueing over a blue, manages to pot a red. Which player will hold their nerve? Never mind playing, this is tense just watching it.
BBC 6 music
Right now BBC Radio 6 music are attempting to make a 147 via song. They started with a song with 'red' in it, that was followed by 'black', and they will continue to do this 15 times until we pot the 'red' and screw back, for the 'yellow', 'green', 'brown', 'blue', 'pink' and 'black!' (sorry!).

Sorry to make you feel old but Snooker Loopy is 30 years old this month.

Samuel Brown: Re-open the vote, that was shot of the championship!
Tom Hill: Ding just won the "weird shot" award away from Selby's super-long-wobbly-cue effort.
Mark Selby 16-14 Ding Junhui
The cueball is touching both the reds in the first picture, so Ding, with the steadiest hands in the Crucible, does enough to just nudge a contact, despite almost sitting on the table.
Impressive stuff. Impressive balance. Impressive technique.

Con-bon: Really going to miss this snooker when it's finished. What's even worse is I have my first GCSE exam tomorrow afternoon.
Tom Bickle: I can't explain why but I have a feeling we'll still see a 147 tonight.
KT: I keep jumping up and shouting at the iPad! Sort of my own commentary! How are their hands not shaking with nerves?!
Game on again at Stamford Bridge. Remember Spurs need to win to ensure the title race goes to next weekend at least. But Gary Cahill has pegged the visitors back in a bad-tempered game. There is about 30 minutes to go at Stamford Bridge and you can follow all the action here.
Nervy times for these Leicester fans - are they watching Spurs or Selby, hard to tell.
Mark Selby 16-14 Ding Junhui
Oohs and aahs from a packed Crucible crowd. Mark Selby misses a black with the rest to leave Ding in what looks a great position.
He can't take advantage and then misses another one he probably should have potted. Current score in this frame Selby 7-7 Ding.
The Shot of the Tournament
We told you that Mark Selby's great shot against Marco Fu had won the vote for Shot of the Tournament.
Well, now, sit back and enjoy it in all its glory again by watching this clip.
