    Wilson 14-11 Gilbert

    Kyren Wilson is tempted into a tricky long red and it looks in - but just catches the knuckle of the corner pocket and stays right over the pocket.

    Gimme of a starter for Dave Gilbert but a ton of work to do after that.

    Simple question - who do you want to win?

    Thumbs up if you're backing Kyren Wilson and thumbs down if not.

    Kyren Wilson going all out defensive mode here, putting as many red balls on or near the cushions as he can.

    Four of the six remaining reds are very awkwardly positioned.

    The lead is up to 47 - but Kyren Wilson has run out of position on a colour and has to play safe.

    He puts the green on the cushion to protect his lead - still 75 points available.

    Here's the thoughts of some spectators at the Crucible.

    Becky, Steve, Kyp and Jo are from Donny originally (that's Doncaster for those not from these parts).

    "Hopefully David Gilbert can win the first couple of frames, we could be in for an exciting afternoon. Those frames are big," says Steve.

    What about the final? "We'd go Bingham v Wilson," say Steve and Kyp in unison. Becky adds: "Kyren Wilson will win it."

  7. Postpublished at 14:59 British Summer Time 4 May

    Wilson 14-11 Gilbert

    A number of easy reds here for Kyren Wilson to pick off before he has to do anything particularly challenging.

    At worst, he'd want to build a big lead here - but he'll be seeing this as a frame-winning chance for sure.

  8. Postpublished at 14:57 British Summer Time 4 May

    Wilson 14-11 Gilbert

    Huge moment at the start of frame 26.

    Kyren Wilson leaves a cut-able, get-able red near the black - but there's pressure on it because there are open reds in both halves of the table.

    It's a must-get pot - and Dave Gilbert under-cuts it to give his opponent a golden opportunity.

  9. A poor startpublished at 14:55 British Summer Time 4 May

    Kyren had a monster fluke to keep the break going, but then he missed the black. It was a really poor shot and I just didn't see that coming.

    Dave Gilbert took his chance.

    And Gilbert does punish the error. A very composed clearance of 70 earns him the opening frame and gives the world number 31 real hope he can make a match of this.

  11. A cruel gamepublished at 14:48 British Summer Time 4 May

    What a stroke of luck for Kyren Wilson. You can see why snooker is called a cruel game.

    He dodged a bullet, but he didn't take advantage.

  12. Postpublished at 14:47 British Summer Time 4 May

    Dave Gilbert simply has to punish that mistake if he's to have a chance of getting back into this semi-final.

  13. Wilson flukes red - but misses blackpublished at 14:46 British Summer Time 4 May

    Wilson 14-10 Gilbert

    It's fair to say Kyren Wilson had a fair bit of run yesterday evening.

    And the snooker gods are smiling on him again - misses an easy red but it cannons off another and goes in the opposite corner.

    Dave Gilbert looks very unimpressed - but, a couple of shots later, Wilson misses a black off its spot. Real chance for the Tamworth potter now.

  14. Start as you mean to go onpublished at 14:45 British Summer Time 4 May

    Wilson 14-10 Gilbert

    Stephen Hendry
    Seven-time world champion on BBC Two

    You can't afford to let Kyren have his hand on the table for a mid-distance red. And there's a real sign of confidence and statement of intent.

    He knew he would leave a red on but his only intention was to pot the red and stun for the pink.

  15. Big chance for Wilsonpublished at 14:43 British Summer Time 4 May

    Wilson 14-10 Gilbert

    A second good long red from Kyren Wilson in this opening frame of the final session of this semi-final.

    And this time he is on a colour - and this is a big chance in among the balls to move five frames clear.

  16. Postpublished at 14:40 British Summer Time 4 May

    Wilson 14-10 Gilbert

    The 'Angry Farmer' can't make much of that chance, though, compiling just the 15 points and not really having control of the cue ball. Early nerves, perhaps.

    The atmosphere really ramps up when it's the final session of the match.

  18. Postpublished at 14:37 British Summer Time 4 May

    Wilson 14-10 Gilbert

    Some start by Kyren Wilson with a superb long red, despite the cue ball being tight near the baulk cushion.

    But he doesn't land on a colour nicely, tries and fails to cut back a very difficult yellow.

    "Come on Dave," are the cries from the Crucible crowd who, you suspect, will be firmly behind the underdog, at least to start with, this afternoon.

    Dave Gilbert showed real heart and composure to take the last frame in the way he did last night.

    He had missed ball after ball to that point, but dug himself out to trail by just four frames.

    It's one ball and one frame at a time - the old cliche. Keep moving forward and see where it takes you.

  20. Postpublished at 14:35 British Summer Time 4 May

    Wilson 14-10 Gilbert

    Dave Gilbert out to his usual walk-on, Insomnia by Faithless.

    "I can't get no sleep." Might have been the case after he lost six of the eight frames last night.

    But today is a new day.
