How's your luck? Ronnie misses a couple of long reds but leaves Kyren Wilson absolutely nothing.

Are the balls running with the five-time winner?

O'Sullivan has that great ability to put a bad frame behind him and forget about it. It is very intimidating to play against.

No century break for Ronnie O'Sullivan but a break of 80 is enough to chalk up another frame.

Kyren Wilson needs to try and tighten up and put him under pressure.

Once Ronnie O'Sullivan has got in amongst the balls he has been devastating.

Kyren Wilson's long potting isn't firing at the minute.

An attempted long red to to the bottom left corner leaves Ronnie O'Sullivan plum in the balls and in the blink of an eye he's knocked 50 and counting in.

Wilson needed a frame sharpish in this final. It was a frame he had to win - he had so many chances. Ronnie is here for the taking and Kyren has got to sense it.

Ben Gosling: It feels weird watching the World Championship without my grandfather. He loved Ronnie O'Sullivan and would watch every match he played in. He'd have loved this final.

Alex Rowe: Only just over one frame in but already so much better with a crowd.

Snookererer: Genuinely just wondered who pressed the groan button after that miss I keep forgetting a real human crowd is a thing.

That's a shocker for Kyren Wilson who sees an attempted pink into the middle rebound off the knuckle.

Can Ronnie O'Sullivan pinch this frame? No. He can't cut the brown into the top right corner and Wilson gets back to the table to get his first frame under his belt.

Both players had two/three opportunities each to win that. Feels like there's a hangover from last night.

This is turning into a frame that could be pretty hurtful for the one that loses it.

What's this someone in the crowd is being told to "just put it down" by referee Marcel Eckardt.

The 30-year-old German is the youngest referee to take charge of a Crucible final but he sounded pretty authoritative there.

Paul Collier had held the record as the youngest to referee the final; he was 33 in 2004.

Touch scrappy this.

Neither players seems to want to win this one. Errors, fortune and misfortune galore.

Kyren Wilson looks to be up and running.

He motors along to 33 but then runs out of position after trying to develop a red on the bottom rail.

Crikey. What a time to do that. There were at least two or three he could have played for.

Ouch. That's not a good one. Kyren Wilson misses a long red into the bottom bin. He was a couple of inches off there.

That's another pretty kind starter for Ronnie, who drops the pink into the right middle before missing a red he'd normally pot in his sleep.

Doesn't look happy with that.

If Wilson cannot get a four frame lead going into tomorrow, he is not going to win this final.

If Ronnie gets flying, he will disappear into the dust.

Early nerves perhaps from Kyren Wilson? First a fluffed red and now he pushes one over the middle as the white runs short of the baulk line.

An easy starter for Ronnie who could well finish this frame off here.

And he does with a very fluent break of 56.

Now then an early chance for Ronnie O'Sullivan to get some points on the board after Kyren Wilson snatches at a long red.

He gets up to 25 but then runs out of position on the blue, so opts for a measured safety shot back into baulk.

Ronnie O'Sullivan has won four of his six meetings with Kyren Wilson, though not the last one, which was back in February at the Welsh Open.

Will that have any bearing this weekend?

On that occasion Wilson edged a high-scoring encounter 6-5 though that was pretty much a sprint in comparison to a best of 35 world championship final.

I'll be honest the way Friday's semi-finals went that graphic could quite have easily have shown Anthony McGill and Mark Selby on it.

Just amazing to have a crowd in, didn't think it would happen.

Ronnie O'Sullivan gets us under way...
