A red with the rest takes him on to 20, but he is now shooting the black into a blind pocket. He gets his angles spot on, the black vanishes into the middle of the pocket and that is another hurdle Allen has just cleared. 27-0

Although he lost that last frame, Wilson still played some good stuff, including this long range pot.

"The chance has arrived," says John Virgo on commentary. Mark Allen has waited his whole professional career for this chance. 9-0. He could become Masters champion in ten minutes' time.

That long red was such a pressure shot for Wilson but once again he hit it very hard. Your percentages go down the harder you hit the balls.

Kyren Wilson misses a red and leaves another red into the right middle bag. The beginning of the end?

Into frame 17. Is this to be the last frame of the day, the last frame of this year's Masters?

After a tremendous opening red, the missed brown cost Wilson the frame. Is this the point of no return?

World number 66 David Grace on Twitter thinks there are still a "few twists left".

The way Mark Allen took those balls looked like a practice routine. He needed that. He has looked reliable all week when given chances like that.

So, so close to the biggest win in Mark Allen's career. He moves one frame from glory with a break of 69 to move 9-7.

Allen's run of form has seen him make runs 73, 119, 50, 49 and 69 in his last six frames. Wilson needs to be faultless from know on.

Allen moves past the 50 mark. 56-2

Mark Allen moves on to 35. And, worryingly for Kyren Wilson, he's still going. 35-2

David Holcroft‏:If Kyren doesn't win today, you'd have to say he'll win one of the big three within five years.

Gooner Kev: Kyron Wilson has to be one of the best long ball potters in the game at the minute. Throughout the #DafabetMasters, external he’s been pulling off some terrific long shots.

Mark Allen needs to stop the momentum of his opponent and regain the authority in this match.

This has all the signs of being one of those very tight and tense frames. Two reds pocketed by Wilson so far, but, once again, some sloppiness with the rest, to miss an effort for the brown brings Allen out of his seat. But there is a lot of work for him to do.

It was Kyren who looked at Mark and they agreed to re-rack. What happened to the old days when you used to try and knock a player out of their rhythm? Eddie Charlton or Cliff Thorburn - the grinders?

And we are under way in Frame 16 (version two). Kyren Wilson has taken the last two and pots the first red of the frame, but then has to play safe.

Rachael: What a final this is, best final for a while. Kyren is sensational.

Surgical Scalpel: Say what you like about snooker, THIS is entertainment.

Another false start. Our second re-rack of the final. Frame 16 is no more. Here comes frame 16.2

I'm so impressed with Kyren Wilson, he has a load of guts. You can't teach someone when to up the pace and get that buzz - he is playing from the heart. The Warrior nickname is right at the moment. Mark Allen has been made to pay.
