The Belgian journalists in the press room were suffering from a serious bout of nerves earlier.

But they are up on their feet celebrating now.

Can he wrap it up with a century??

The pink follows - that's it! No way back bow - and he holds his arms out wide to the crowd.

Frame ball red. Rapturous applause greets its disposal into the pocket.

A pink to the middle makes it 62-0. Two reds and a colour needed.

In practice - well, Brecel barely practices apparently, but you know what I mean - he would clear this table nine times out of 10.

But doing it now is an entirely different matter. The number of balls needed is down to single figures, though, 55 points ahead.

Pudding Head: Well Brecel may not get a better chance than this...

The lead up to 31. A tester with the rest. It's in. And on the black.

Brecel risks it for a biscuit, playing the cannon on the pink as well as the pot on the red - and it comes up roses.

A chance to win the World Championship. That's all he could have asked for.

That's not mistake-free. Difficult safety shot admittedly but it goes wrong, cannoning into other reds.

One available to the middle but not easy to get on a colour.

Mark Selby has to play mistake-free snooker now.

Very cagey start to frame 33, no surprise there.

Jamie: My heart is going like the clappers! Insane drama....

If anybody had asked Luca Brecel at the start of this match, against one of the greatest players to play at this Crucible Theatre, if he would have had three cracks at winning, he'd have said yes please.

We are going to find out what Luca is made of but if he can keep his cue arm going without thinking about the situation, he has every chance.

Every credit to Luca Brecel, whose arm must have felt like jelly having not potted a ball for 50 minutes.

Mark Selby attempts a very difficult red along the cushion in a desperate attempt to get back into the frame but leaves it.

Luca Brecel halts the five-frame losing streak - he just needs one more for the title!

Two snookers required, but with Mark Selby you never feel safe.

Unbelievable fluke from Mark Selby.

Knocks one red on to another that was on the bottom cushion and it drops in the corner.

But he misses the brown! That could be frame over, Brecel only needs a red and colour - and he gets them. Two snookers needed for 'The Jester'.

Big, big long red from Luca. But the white goes well beyond the baulk line.

Shows some patience by knocking the green safe and leaving the white glued to the top cushion.

That'll do for now. Of course he wanted to win the frame, but he just wanted to pot some balls. He'll feel back involved in the final.

Not a frame-winning contribution from Luca Brecel as he breaks down at 51-1 up but that's a healthy lead.
