World number three Neil Robertson has been on top form on his route to the final.

He took apart three-time world champion Mark Selby in the quarter-finals and gave a masterclass in break building during another 6-2 victory over China's Zhou Yuelong in the last four.

The 38-year-old won the second of his UK Championship titles back in 2015 and is yet to go behind in this match.

Could it be his year?

If you didn't join us earlier it was basically a bit of a slow burn that started to simmer and then boiled up nicely.

Neil Robertson led four times and hit breaks of 68, 103 and 110.

Judd Trump saved his best until last, levelling up at 4-4 with a superb break of 128.

You can read all about it here but let's put it this way I'm not expecting too many lengthy frames this evening though I'm definitely not ruling out a 10-9.

This could well be a classic.

Right anyway, that's us done for this afternoon.

World number one Judd Trump and Australia's Neil Robertson are finely poised at 4-4 heading into this evening's final session.

It's living up to its billing isn't it?

We shall be back around 18:50 GMT for the conclusion of the UK Championship final.

So I shall see you all later.

Ryan: Fantastic match between Trump and Robertson so far. Hard to predict who will win.

I think it is going to be fantastic this evening. We want more of the same.

Quite a conclusion to that session of snooker wasn't it?

Judd Trump rocking the highest break of the UK Championship final so far to draw level for a fourth time.

It was a great response. Both these players are both mentally strong. It's all to play for tonight it is a mouth-watering prospect.

When you are playing a top player you expect them to make those sorts of breaks and you enjoy the challenge. You are alert and enjoy the thrill of it.

Incredible stuff isn't it. It's the first time that Judd Trump has really scored. That's three centuries in four frames.

What a list to be on and near the top as well.

Brilliant from Judd Trump. A break of 128 sees him level the match going into this evening.

Only a matter of time now. Judd Trump is up to 67 points and still going. What a response.

Could this be his first century of the match?

Nip. And. Tuck.

The magic number is 68 points for the frame and Judd Trump is up to 37 with no real issues.

What's Judd Trump eyeing up here? Is that a plant into the bottom left corner? Possibly but there's no way of getting safe from this.

All or nothing type of shot. And it's all as he drops in his red, scatters the bunch and lands perfect on the blue.

While Neil Robertson takes a quick comfort break just have a look at this.

Looks like the record of most centuries in a single UK Championship is inevitably about to go.

Robertson has eased into the match and looks more assured round the table, a big frame coming up for Judd Trump.

The intensity will raise again tonight but if someone has a lead it will help.

Neil Robertson is in the groove. And he clears up with a magnificent 110.

That sees the Australian equal the record for the number of centuries made in a single UK Championship. Bravo.

Stephen Hendry
Seven-time world champion on BBC Two

You couldn't wait to tell me that.

John Parrott
1991 world champion on BBC Two

This is absolutely brilliant. Of course this will be another century which will bring him up to 12. This is another of Stephen Hendry's records that is going.

Neil Robertson moves 46 points ahead with 43 left on the table. He's not done yet mind as he powers in a red to reach 77.

Another century looks on the cards.

Every time you think Neil Robertson is slightly awry he plays a brilliant recovery shot to maintain his break.

That was another on the blue to leave him with a red into the right middle.

He's got 40 points on the board and is grafting towards restoring his lead.
