    Wilson 17-13 Jones

    He's lost two massive frames on the black ball in this match, Jak Jones.

    He'd be 15-15 had he won those. From 7-0 down.

  2. No max but 96 gets Jones within fourpublished at 21:11 British Summer Time 6 May

    Wilson 17-13 Jones

    Ah, it just ended up being too difficult. The 13th red, rolled down the cushion, goes off line.

    But a brilliant break of 96 from Jak Jones, who pulls himself back within four frames of Kyren Wilson.

    Wilson 17-12 Jones

    An attempt to develop one of the tricky reds goes a bit astray.

    Frame in the bag long ago so he can give it his full attention... but the last three reds are all in cushions.

    It might seem a strange thing to say but Kyren Wilson wouldn't mind if Jak Jones achieved a maximum break here.

    Make that 10 reds and 10 blacks...

    Wilson 17-12 Jones

    Unless I'm miscounting, he's actually on a maximum break here, Jak Jones.

    Seven reds, seven blacks, 56 points. Surely not?

    Wilson 17-12 Jones

    Yep, he's leaving nothing out there, Jak Jones.

    Faced with a choice of reds, he goes for the toughest one because it garners better position. And he drops it in tidily.

    The break up to 40 already.

    I think Jak is throwing caution to the wind and seeing where it takes him.

    He still has to concentrate here, even though the reds are almost set up like a practice routine.

    Rich Rance: Amazed Jak Jones hasn’t turned up for this last session with a pint.

    What can you say about that shot? Incredible.

    I think Jak thought when he missed that last red it was all over. But don't be surprised if he knocks in a big break here.

    From the ridiculous to the sublime - Jak Jones' next long pot effort is a stunner, clean as a whistle and perfect on the black too.

    Wilson 17-12 Jones

    The players are back out.

    Jak Jones has to play 'no mistake' snooker - and he starts by doing totally the opposite.

    Misses a very gettable red by another postcode - and smashes the pack open in the process. But somehow leaves nothing on.

    He'll think that's karma for Kyren Wilson fluking that decisive black two frames ago.

    Several players said they would not mind where the tournament was held if they won.

    But seven-times world champion Stephen Hendry wants to stay at the Crucible.

    "For me it's about the atmosphere and being inspired to play the best snooker," he said.

    Big discussion on the TV coverage about the future of the Crucible and snooker itself.

    Should the World Champonship stay at the Crucible? Thumbs up for yes, or down for no.

    Kyren has six frames to play with so the alarm bells won't be ringing.

    But he'll be pleased to have a little bit of time on his own.

    He's not exactly running over the line, Kyren, but he's shared the session.

    Go to your dressing room, son. Have a wipe down with a damp towel and get going again.

    Jak Jones saw the funny side of that, retaking his seat and then being reminded by the fans behind him that he can head to his dressing room for the mid-session interval.

    Wilson 17-12 Jones

    Jak Jones can't complete the clearance but he's taken this final beyond the mid-session interval and kept his slim hopes alive with a break of 67.

    He's so engrossed that he completely forgets it's the interval and sits down in his chair waiting for the next frame until he's reminded otherwise.

    He's dug in, Jak. He could have easily deflated but he's just letting Kyren know that he's got to win it.
