Into frame 22, and Higgins has a 19-0 lead, but Selby is taking the next shot. Like a few frames already today, the black looks out of commission, close to the side cushion. Could be another battle coming up.

Brilliant....

Both players are forgetting how to just play. What they normally do is just play. It’s become a bit of a slug fest.

If I had words of wisdom for both players it would be to release the shackles because if anyone can get a bit of momentum they can win a few frames here.

Now it’s just got a bit nervy, you can see full well why it’s got like this. Mark Selby knows how to play this game.

The players have great respect for each other. It’s not going to be like this all the time, I can’t see that happening, someone will eventually break free of this.

Right, the players are back out, here we go again.

Ken Doherty aims to recreate one of those 'Shot of the Championship' options - Shaun Murphy's trickshot-style pot against Ronnie O'Sullivan.

Doherty tries his luck on the practice table to recreate the shot, with John Higgins watching on.

... but it doesn't go to plan...

...much to the amusement of our pundits.

Steve York‏: This snooker is a great watch. I really enjoy the grindy, somewhat error filled matches. Good stuff.

Nick: Fascinating and tense stuff! Can't beat final day of the #SnookerWorldChampionship, external! #ilovesnooker, external

This third session is like moving day in golf and sets the tone for the evening. Both players are trying not to make a mistake and it's hard snooker.

It was the longest frame of the match, and now it is over.

Mark Selby started the day 7-10 behind, but has taken the mini-session 3-1 with Higgins now having an overall 11-10 lead.

Higgins leaves the yellow on. That should be the frame for Selby and that should be 11-10. 43-40 to Selby at the moment.

Daniel Janicki‏: I can see this being a 1am finish. Glad I don't have work tomorrow.

After that long red, Selby downs the blue and now is back in front, by a 43-40 margin.

He opts to go safe though with only the colours remaining.

And Selby pockets it.

We are at the 40-minute mark for this frame, and there is still one red on the table. Higgins 40-37 up, but he's left a long red tempter.

As always, we are in the market for any funny snooker-related pictures. Like this one...

As this frame ticks past the half-hour mark, I've still got no idea who is going to win it. Higgins is 40-33 up, the two remaining reds are close to the cushion, with the black stopping any possible pot.

This is a tight end to the first mini-session of the day. Selby had a 33-0 lead, Higgins pulled back 28 points.

This could be a massive frame. 12-9 or 11-10? We will find out soon enough.

You may well have noticed that you have the option to vote for your Shot of the Championship. You have 10 to choose from. So watch this video and then vote on the right-hand side of this page to have your say or via the vote tab on mobiles.

The vote closes at 19:00 BST and the results will be announced on this page as well as during our coverage on BBC Two.

Meanwhile, back on the table, Selby's dangerous looking break comes to an abrupt halt far earlier than he would have liked or expected.

He still has a 33-0 lead though, in the last frame before a small pause in action.
