Frame 16: O'Sullivan 9-6 Wilson

Kyren Wilson edges up past, 70, then 80 and reaches 98 with the colours to come.

He's going to have to use the rest for the yellow and rolls it in nicely before missing the yellow. Wonderful stuff from the Warrior.

Wilson's mid-distance potting is becoming more reliable in this match as it goes on.

Dare I say Kyren Wilson is looking good here. Never mind just winning the frame, I fancy him for a century.

I can't remember Ronnie O'Sullivan having a session where he has been so far off on his long pots. It won't bother Kyren, who will say 'thank you very much.'

This is a very big visit to the table. If he can win this frame and have a chance to come out 9-8 what a result that would be.

Kyren Wilson can relax as he's let off the hook again.

There's a roll of the eyes from Ronnie as he gets back into his seat after missing a long red.

Kyren snicks a tricky opener bridging over a ball into the middle left. Now then can he seal the frame at this visit?

You called it Luke.

Green ball missed. Ronnie back on the table. And sinking the sort of long red he couldn't get for toffee earlier.

Luke Belecco: The problem with Kyren is, he always seems to be a couple of shots away from disaster.

Absolutely fascinating this. And even more so as Kyren Wilson dispatches a long red only to find the white stuck in the middle of the pack.

He's going to have to nominate a ball and get the swan neck rest out. Green ball it is. This is horrible.

It went against Wilson there. He was very unlucky - you can't legislate for that. It's sort of stopped his mini comeback.

Ronnie needed a bit of help there.

Ronnie O'Sullivan is really struggling here. Another longish goes begging to put Kyren Wilson back on the baize.

He drops a red into the left corner but then gets a horrendous bit of luck potting the blue but cannoning a red into the right corner.

Ronnie is right among the balls. He could not have asked for a better chance. And a break of 48 gets him over the line. That was badly needed and guarantees that he will lead overnight.

Tom: Ronnie’s actually being asked some questions here. Hopefully he has an answer.

Laura Bennett: Well... Alan McManus did say Ronnie was there for the taking.

Shouts of 'come on Kyren' whirl round the Crucible as Ronnie O'Sullivan unexpectedly falters on a red into the bottom left bin.

Kyren Wilson's response amounts to 16 points. You get the feeling that this frame could be pivotal.

Kyren Wilson left something on that one. But a long straight red to the bottom corner goes flying around the table before coming to a halt near the middle bag.

Ronnie O'Sullivan doesn't fancy that one though. Instead he opts for a red into the bottom right and then cannons off a red to hold for the black.

Perfection. Will that spark him back into life?

Ronnie just seems to be flat. For the majority of the final actually, he has looked flat.

Ronnie O'Sullivan's body language has deteriorated from nothing really. He just needs to get a frame on the board.

Steve Davis
Six-time world champion on BBC Two

Ronnie is struggling out there. The table conditions have affected Ronnie more than Kyren and he's lost his confidence and focus. You can see in his body language he's not happy.

Kyren Wilson is absolutely flying at the minute a break of 58 reduces the gap to just two.

Seven-time world champion on BBC Two

There is definitely only one player in this match at the moment.

Under normal circumstances you'd have to fancy Kyren Wilson to get the job done at this visit.
