No century break as Wilson's attempt on a double on the last red is errant but the 78 is enough to pull a frame back and keep Shaun Murphy on alert.

He's such a wonderful potter. He goes about breaks differently but just keeps potting balls to keep the break going.

That is some pot from Kyren Wilson.

Cue ball tight on the side cushion, digging down on the white to play a red into a blind corner pocket - I say blind, because he's looking away from the pocket to line up the pot.

Many players might have played safe there - but that pot should win him the frame.

Well, Kyren Wilson is turning his half-chance into a real opportunity.

His lead is past 50 points... but he's running out of reds in the open.

Safety exchange is won by Kyren Wilson as Shaun Murphy leaves a red too close to the bottom corner and the Warrior bangs it in with ease.

Lot of reds clustered on the right hand side of the table though so no guarantees of winning the frame from here - but it's a chance for the world number two.

Good start to this last, and decisive, mini-session of the final from Kyren Wilson.

Thumps in a long red, floats in another to the middle not long after and then crashes into the pack off the black...

But lands on nothing. That is cruel, harsh luck. Has to be a safety shot now, take the 23 points along with your medicine.

Sam: Shaun Murphy is just strolling towards the line, not panicking, just picking at his lead and keeping Kyren at bay - when he took that 125 he nodded to ref and crowd and strolled to seat, it has been a magical week for the Magician and he’s approaching the fitting finale.

But here's the shot that John Parrott picked as his best of the tournament - a mind-boggling pot on the brown by Luca Brecel, down the cushion with lots of screw to get position on the blue.

A worthy winner.

We're about to find out which is John Parrott's pick for the shot of the tournament.

This miraculous escape from a snooker by Si Jiahui was one of the 10 contenders.

A reminder that - as the BBC TV coverage celebrates this amazing tournament's past champions - the two players tonight are playing for the Paul Hunter Trophy.

Named in memory of the three-time champion who provided such drama and entertainment with three deciding-frame 10-9 wins in Masters finals.

It's not the difficult shots that find you out, it's the easy ones that cost you.

If Kyren goes on to lose this match, that missed black could be the one he remembers because if he's going to win it, he's got to pot all the balls he's supposed to pot. He can't afford misses like that.

Shaun Murphy's break ends on 66 as the final red stays over the corner pocket but that's more than enough.

Off the players go for the mid-session interval - Murphy requiring just two frames to become a two-time Masters champion.

Much for Kyren Wilson to ponder over.

Frame-ball red is sunk. And we can stick a fork in this frame folks, it's done.

A poor positional shot from Shaun Murphy leaves him with a tough cut-back red but he nails it. Tidy brown to middle follows.

The lead is up to 33 with just five reds left on the table.

Oh Kyren - did all the hard work, but you can't afford to miss that type of pot.

Just a little bit of tension there, he knows the importance of this frame before the mid-session interval.

Now Shaun, with the reds where they're sitting - what a chance he has.

Surely the sort of table professionals dream of?

Apart from the black spot being occupied by a red.

But, no - Kyren Wilson misses the black to the right middle - and now the chance passes to Shaun Murphy.

That [shot for the attempted snooker] has shown maybe the first little sign of nerves.

That's very careless from Shaun Murphy.

Pots a long red and tries to lay a snooker behind the brown but hits it far too heavy, leaving a chance for Kyren Wilson, who thumps a long pot in.

Drama as Kyren Wilson twice misses all the reds in trying to clip off one, after Shaun Murphy puts him in trouble on the baulk cushion.

If he misses again it's the 'three strikes' rule, he'd lose the frame... so he makes sure of contact this time and plays a containing response that leaves Murphy a simple safety in return.

Wilson actually conceded 43 foul points in one frame against Judd Trump last night - that's eight so far in this one.

Kyren will have been disappointed to be 6-2 behind after the first session and at 7-3 you could have been forgiven for starting to crumble a little bit.

But he's such a strong competitor and that was an excellent break - he's letting Shaun know he's still there and he's got a chance.

To play great snooker when you're that far behind, not everyone can do that, and that's a skill he has.
