Wilson 17-14 Jones
Jak Jones curses the snooker gods after going for a double on a red, missing it and leaving the only red he could leave - the one he played.

Tom Beasley: Snooker is such a brilliant sport. Every second of this is utterly gripping.
Wilson 17-14 Jones
Jak Jones knocks in a nice red to start but it was a shot-to-nothing, making subsequent positional efforts tough and he breaks down on just four, missing a tricky red to middle but leaving little.

Alan C Smith: This is like Andy Murray trying to win that last game against Djokovic in 2013..

Stephen Hendry
Seven-time world champion on BBC Two
He can't get over the winning line. He's seeing it but he just can't get anywhere near it.
He's been scoring so freely but tonight he's had a 37 and a 44.
Wilson 17-14 Jones
Jak Jones so close to a long red but it wobbles and stays out, and leaves Kyren Wilson yet another chance to clinch the world title.
Again it goes wrong straight away, falling out of ideal position on the first colour. And an attempt on the green with the rest misses!
Goodness me, the tension.

Dennis Taylor
1985 world champion on BBC Two
He's definitely struggling out there and it's understandable - it's the biggest day of his snooker life.
Wilson 17-14 Jones
But Wilson falters almost at the first hurdle!
Runs out of position in potting the black and has to play safe after a break of only 14.
He's 28-0 ahead.

Stephen Hendry
Seven-time world champion on BBC Two
This is the chance he's been waiting for.
No reason, other than pressure of becoming world champion, that he shouldn't make a frame-winning break here.
Wilson 17-14 Jones
Jak Jones clips a red thin but leaves it for Kyren Wilson.
The 'Warrior' pots it but can't get to the black over the pocket because the pack of reds are in the way - so he cuts in an excellent blue instead.
Wilson 17-14 Jones
Kyren Wilson has Jak Jones in trouble behind baulk colours.
Jones has fouled twice already. He has to hit it this time I think - yep, he gets the warning. Three fouls in succession loses a frame if you can see a red full ball - which Jones can.

If Jak Jones were to nick this, the last time anything like this to happen on the second day of a Crucible final was when Stephen Hendry came from 14-8 down to beat Jimmy White in 1992.
Wilson 17-14 Jones
Is Jak Jones being too aggressive now? Goes for a plant when an easy safety was on.
But once again Kyren Wilson cannot punish him, missing an admittedly not-straightforward red with the white on the cush.

Stephen Hendry
Seven-time world champion on BBC Two
Jak Jones jumped out of his seat.
He has to like this - seeing his opponent struggle to get over the winning line.

Dennis Taylor
1985 world champion on BBC Two
The tension, the pressure mounting on Kyren Wilson to get that one frame he needs to be world champion.
Wilson 17-14 Jones
But he gets too close to the black, has to play it with the rest, a very delicate shot - and it stays in the jaws!
Only four points scored.
Wilson 17-14 Jones
A wonderful positional shot on the yellow back down to the reds follows and this is the chance Wilson will have been sitting in his chair waiting for...
Wilson 17-14 Jones
Is that all-out attacking philosophy John Parrott mentioned going to be Jak Jones' downfall in frame 32?
He takes on a very tricky, acute red to middle and it catches the knuckle, leaving Kyren Wilson the same red to corner, which he gets.
Wilson 17-14 Jones
Perhaps the most remarkable thing about Jak Jones' fairytale run to the World Championship final is that the world number 44 has come through every round relatively comfortably.
The underdog has had to play two more matches than Kyren Wilson to get to this stage, having had to come through qualifiers where he breezed past two tough cookies in Jamie Clarke and Zhou Yuelong.
He walloped Zhang Anda in round one and beat Si Jiahui in the last 16 before adding the scalps of two former world champions - Judd Trump and Stuart Bingham - to his increasingly impressive resume.
