    Mark Selby 10-7 Ding Junhui

    Hello. Feeling refreshed? Ready for more? Good.

    So Mark Selby holds a 10-7 lead over Ding Junhui as the Englishman aims to win the world title for a second time.

    The Chinese recovered from a 6-0 deficit to pull it back to 8-7, before Selby took the last two frames in the early hours of the morning to go in with a three-frame advantage.

  2. Great drama

    It looked like becoming the most one-sided final in history as Mark Selby stormed into a 6-0 lead.

    A missed chance to make it 7-0 led to Ding fighting back in style.

    It was hard-fought, tense and gruelling in a tiring day of snooker with neither playing giving in when the odds looked against them.
