    Frame 23: Higgins 7-15 Trump

    It's a slightly edgier start to this frame. Higgins knows he has to pick his moment carefully so as not to give Trump too many opportunities. He's not taking any risks.

    Higgins' pot success is 91% - that shows how ridiculously well Trump is playing.

    Christopher: The BBC 2 controller is on the phone to the Crucible right now: 'But Judd can’t win the next four frames! We don’t have that much 'Coast' - we’re gonna have to go with 'Dad’s Army' later.

    Jay: If you have a ticket for tonight’s session and camped out to secure it, I’d start worrying right about now.

    Tim: Judd Trump is playing some of the best snooker and potting some of the most amazing shots I've ever seen

    Frame 22: Higgins 7-14 Trump

    Another beauty from Trump! He slams the pink into the bottom left corner, it pings back and falls into the bottom right.

    He misses the black but it doesn't matter - a lovely 126.

    Judd Trump has been so clinical with his break building. Some of the shots are astonishing. His control has been wonderful.

    Frame 22: Higgins 7-14 Trump

    Could this be a sixth century in this final for Trump?

    Yes! He taps the black into the bottom right and that's the 99th century in this Championship. What a final!

    Frame 22: Higgins 7-14 Trump

    Stephen Hendry described Trump as a 'big game player' during the interval and that is exactly what the 29-year-old looks like as he slams the blue in to position himself perfectly.

    Trump pots the next red with ease and that's the frame.

  9. Postpublished at 15:33 British Summer Time 6 May 2019

    Frame 22: Higgins 7-14 Trump

    Trump clearly isn't feeling the pressure at all as he pots a red top left from long range.

    He looks so relaxed as he brings up a half century, having racked up over 200 points without reply.

    Graeme Ward: Judd Trump coasting to victory, making the sport look very easy.

    Stuart Winter-Tear: So, Stephen Hendry is dead right, Judd Trump is the new king of Snooker. And he has ascended this year by dethroning the two older kings. The next decade will be Trump's era.

    I know I'm stating the obvious but the way this fella is going it's surely only a matter of time before we break through the 100 century barrier isn't it...?

    We could be coming into a new era of dominance for Judd Trump. He's dedicating his whole life towards winning titles. He's won the Masters, he's targeting big events and I could see him winning a bunch of these.

    He's a big game player. His finals strike rate shows it. He just wants to get in finals against top players and win titles. What's impressed me the most is that he can just do enough to get to these finals.

    Scott: If Judd Trump has the most cue power I’ve ever seen then John Higgins had the most bottle I’ve ever seen, he can never be written off, still a long way to go in this match!

    Chris: The Wizard clearly understanding that I’m feeling a bit down in the dumps and need a huge comeback and a blackball 17 frame all finish tonight.

    Tom Blohm: Don't let news of the Royal baby distract you from this brilliant World Snooker final.

    Don't worry Tom, I won't.

    John Higgins would have had hope but Judd Trump has produced the goods again. This has been a magnificent performance from this young man.

    Frame 21: Higgins 7-13 Trump

    Judd Trump clearly isn't in a charitable mood. He knocks in another red and it's pretty much as we were at the start of the session.

    He's got a seven frame lead again as we head into the mid-session interval.

    Frame 21: Higgins 7-13 Trump

    Judd Trump is really racing round the table. He gets to 71 in no time at all before a Barney Rubble to the middle bag goes awry.

    Still he's 71 ahead with 67 on the table. John Higgins needs one snooker.

    Frame 21: Higgins 7-13 Trump

    John Higgins potting arm may have got going but his safety play isn't quite there.

    A poor break off shot leaves Judd Trump with another easy red to the middle.

    The four-time champion might not get out of his seat for another frame!
