Clever shot from Kyren Wilson, knocking the black safer near the bottom cushion while snookering Jak Jones on the yellow.

Kyren Wilson has had a nightmare from blue to yellow.

He's snookered himself. Gets out of it but leaves a long chance for Jak Jones who is 19 points behind and needs to clear the colours.

Jones jaws it... but leaves it safe.

The balls perfectly positioned for a counter-attack from Kyren Wilson.

Just needs to keep his composure and he's going to be 17-11 up.

He should have gone back up for the blue, kept it simple.

Jak Jones makes an error as big as that of Kyren Wilson minutes earlier.

Tries to play a red with side to stay on the black when he could have gone up for blue.

And misses it as a result.

Kyren Wilson's lead in this frame is erased but still work to do for Jak Jones with five reds remaining.

Massive moments in this final.

I don't know what's happened there. What a mistake from Kyren Wilson.

And after he's opened all those reds, they are all there for Jak.

That is unbelievable. Only at the Crucible.

Goodness me, what an error from the 'Warrior'.

In trying to pot a red, he clips the pink first. He's 30-odd in front but still.

If Kyren Wilson wins tonight he would climb up to third in the world rankings from 12th to sit behind new number one Mark Allen and Judd Trump.

Jak Jones, who came into this tournament as world number 44, would rise as high as sixth with a victory here and would be 14th even if he loses.

Kyren Wilson begins frame 28 with the perfect retort, though, firing in a long red and earning himself the first opportunity.

An attacking shot into the pack soon after has really opened everything up too.

You could say it was another good chance that Kyren Wilson let slip.

I know it's a long way back for Jak but he's showing lots of character here.

He's still five behind but that will give him some confidence.

Jones clears with 105published at 19:57 British Summer Time 6 May 2024

Wilson 16-11 Jones

Fantastic effort from Jak Jones who registers his first century of the final to keep his hopes alive with a 105 clearance.

This is a brilliant break considering the circumstances from Jak Jones.

He's tidied this table up incredibly impressively with a 50-plus break and he's passed the snookers required stage.

We shouldn't laugh, but this did tickle us, Anna...

Ken Doherty
1997 world champion on BBC Two

You just never know.

He's fought back so well after that first session when he finished it 7-1 behind.

He's going to need all of those fighting qualities to get back into this match and it has to start right now.

He's just got to forget the scoreline and play one shot at a time.

It's not over yet, Seb.

Jak Jones plays a red down the cushion off a black that Wilson knocked near the pocket - and in the red goes. The blue is a gimme over the yellow pocket.

Jak Jones gets what seems like a slice of luck in return in escaping that sticky situation, not leaving an easy red.

But Kyren Wilson decides he's going to try a plant on two reds and it works out. He's back out of position two shots later, though and sticks his tongue out in annoyance.

He's not on an easy colour after a red but comes within millmetres of potting a really tough long blue.
