Joe has to think that Ronnie hasn't done anything special in this final. He needed that killer instinct when he was 4-1 up but didn't have it. Is it a bit too late now?

Harry Taylor: Much, much, much needed frame for Perry. No doubt a huge confidence boost. He has a history of resurrection style comebacks.

Moke: Perry just showed up.

Rupert Budgen: Great character from Gentleman Joe! Time for a comeback, Joseph.

What I liked was the way Joe Perry finished with a flourish at the end of the frame with the way he potted the black.

When you're down you've got to have a bit of attitude and a bit of venom. You need to be a bit stroppier and start looking a bit nastier around the table.

Fabulous character from Joe Perry. He's come out with a better attitude, got his chance and taken it. Well done.

A quick update on the centuries in the tournament. We are still one behind last year's efforts.

Frame 13: Perry 5-8 O'Sullivan 117-8 (Perry 117)

We said this would be a good test of character for Joe Perry, and this was a fine, fine response as he wins a frame for the first time in the evening session.

Something for O'Sullivan to think about as Perry rattles in his second century of the match, a beautifully constructed 117.

Game back on.

Perry gets himself in trouble by being the wrong side of the blue and has a much more difficult red with his next shot.

He got himself in trouble, but quickly gets out of it with a fine long red. He is still going with a break of 48. 48-1.

It's a hard situation Joe has got himself into. Maybe a bit of inexperience cost him earlier when he should have led 6-2 at the interval, and then he started to show weakness when he should have been showing exactly the opposite.

We are back under way and Joe Perry has an early chance after O'Sullivan misses a black early on in frame 13. Time for a fightback?

The only hope for Joe Perry is that without the interval it probably would have been 10-4 and all over, but you never know what the break will do to the players.

This is fabulous experience - first time in a major final, in front of 2,000 people and against a guy who the fans all want to win - so this will toughen him up.

And this is a close-up shot of the Paul Hunter Trophy

Ian: Paul Hunter is sadly missed not only by his family but all the Snooker world. What a talent he was.

Nicole Laura Adams: Paul Hunter, never forgotten.

Tilly Dhillon: Paul Hunter lives on, he is in the hearts of all true snooker fans!

Sam Weston: Gets me every time they do a Paul Hunter tribute on the snooker! Far too young to be taken in such a cruel manner.

The players tonight are playing for the Paul Hunter Trophy.

The trophy was renamed last April to honour the three-time Masters winner, who died aged 27 in 2006.

"He was a great guy, a great character and he is sorely missed," says Ronnie O'Sullivan in a pre-recorded interview. "He was a fantastic player and liked by everyone."

We asked you to vote on the Shot of the Tournament, and there has been a resounding winner with a whopping 56% of the vote.

It was, of course, option J - Joe Perry's sensational escape from a snooker in his match against Barry Hawkins in his semi-final.

And here it is in all its glory.

We are now, on BBC Two, looking back at some of the most memorable moments from the history of the Masters.

Featuring missed 147s, a streaker, terrible dancing, winning bets and a maximum from someone wearing a white suit.

It is all worth a watch. Press the play button at the top and scroll back a bit to enjoy it all.

Joe Perry was in command at one stage and had a gilt-edged chance which he missed to go 5-1 up when Ronnie was struggling.

When you have someone on the ropes you have to keep them there. Joe will probably look back to that moment and think 'what if?'.

How do you play against this? Great stuff from O'Sullivan.

Joe Perry is looking a beaten man after the mini-session from hell. He was level at 4-4 at 7.20pm. By 8.20pm he is 8-4 behind.

O'Sullivan seems in immense form now as he is heading towards a record-breaking seventh Masters title.

A clearance of 85 takes him two away from glory.

So how do you get out of this without leaving anything on?

It is something that baffles Perry. He slow rolls the cueball off two cushions and hits the bottom red pictured, but leaves it on to give O'Sullivan control of the table.
