  1. Wilson's route herepublished at 21:39 British Summer Time 6 May

    Wilson 17-14 Jones

    A reminder of both players' routes to the final, starting with the man on the verge of the title.

    Kyren Wilson's opponents have barely laid a glove on the 'Warrior' during his rampage to the final.

    Veteran Dominic Dale was swatted aside in the opening round, as was Mark Selby's conqueror Joe O'Connor in the last 16.

    Then the statement win over four-time Crucible champion John Higgins before Wilson pulled away in the final two sessions of a high-quality semi-final against fellow Englishman David Gilbert.

    He's just loosened up, Jak. He looks the more likely to make a frame-winning contribution in one visit.

    At some point it may change if he gets closer as he's gone all-out attack in the last couple of frames.

    But at the moment he's making it very uncomfortable.

  4. Three on the spin for Jonespublished at 21:36 British Summer Time 6 May

    Wilson 17-14 Jones

    Jak Jones clears the table to the blue, helped by a fluke on the yellow, although the frame was secure by then.

    The crowd is going wild!

    Little things are happening out there in the Crucible Theatre and you just sense something special is on the horizon.

    Wilson 17-13 Jones

    Kyren Wilson goes for a long red, just off straight, but gets nowhere near.

    It leaves a very delicate cut for Jak Jones - but he gets it. The pink means Wilson needs a snooker!

    The final two reds are positioned trickily though. Near the bottom cushion. Needs a perfect positional shot off the blue and Wilson can't manage it.

    It's 55-23 to Jones with 43 points still on the table.

    What a shot from Kyren Wilson, firing in a red along the bottom cushion at pace after Jak Jones escaped that snooker upon the players' return.

    No 'shot, Jak' this time - a safety goes wrong and leaves Kyren Wilson a long red which he knocks in.

    And he's left the Welshman in a very nasty position almost behind the green in baulk. Can't tell if he's snookered or not...

    But we'll have time to find out as Jones needs a comfort break and I think his opponent is going too!

    'Shot, Jak' has echoed around the Crucible a few times over the past half hour or so. The crowd want to see this final extended, for certain.

    Jak Jones couldn't fashion a chance to develop those reds so he has to play safe off them with a 38-point lead.

    And what a safety it is too - off four cushions behind the green in baulk. But Kyren Wilson's escape is equally expertly judged.

    We asked you if the world championship should stay at the Crucible, and there's a significant majority in favour...

    Wilson 17-13 Jones

    Four reds are tied up around the black so this isn't necessarily a simple frame-winning chance for Jones.

    But he can build a decent lead off blue and pink before worrying about those.

    Nowt easy, I said. But Jak Jones smashes in a long red like it was the easiest thing in the world. Stunning shot.

    Wilson 17-13 Jones

    It wasn't an easy pot for Kyren Wilson, the red in the middle, but he hits it firm, bringing the cue ball around three cushions for the blue.

    A cannon into the pack leaves a gettable but missable red - and it's the latter, although nowt easy to start for Jones.

    Wilson 17-13 Jones

    Jak Jones' attempt to break into the pack doesn't go as planned.

    Kyren Wilson knocks in a good red from baulk and then, not long after, another solid pot in the middle.

    But he lands right on the pink near the green pocket so snookers Jones behind it. The underdog escapes but leaves a red on.

    All night Kyren hasn't looked wholly comfortable out there. He's looked nervy.

    The high scoring we've seen from him all this match has disappeared for the moment.

    Wow. Kyren Wilson misses a long red to the corner to start frame 31 - and leaves it to the middle for Jak Jones.

    The Crucible crowd roar the Welshman to the table.

    Mark Selby remains the only player ever to make a maximum 147 break in a World Championship final. Well at least for now.
