    Trump 9-12 Jones

    Jak Jones is motoring. There have been one or two signs of nerves but the balls keep dropping and he is on a run of 70.

    This Welshman looks to have got this in the bag.

    Trump 9-12 Jones

    Judd Trump is sat in his chair hoping for another opportunity. Jak Jones is on a break of 39. Can he hold himself together?

    Trump 9-12 Jones

    Judd Trump needs to win every frame here to keep his hopes alive of winning a second world title.

    But he goes in off after catching the brown and leaves Jak Jones a long red to get started...which he knocks in.

    Judd Trump doesn't have to play brilliantly. He's getting chances every frame but he just can't take them.

    John Higgins would have taken being 5-3 down yesterday with his late-night finish against Mark Allen the previous evening and he won the first frame today to go 5-4.

    Going into this round Kyren Wilson was, alongside Dave Gilbert, playing the best snooker of anyone and he is looking good again today.

    John has not hit top gear yet but historically he comes into his won when he is behind.

  6. Jones on the cusp of famous winpublished at 12:30 British Summer Time 1 May 2024

    Jones 12-9 Trump

    There were audible gasps in the press room when Judd Trump failed to roll in the simplest yellow to the top left corner, that looked harder to miss than pot.

    Trump, who has won five ranking events this term was one of the big favourites coming to the Crucible but is now just possibly one-frame away from a shock exit.

    Jones 11-9 Trump

    Neil Robertson
    2010 world champion

    The Silent Assassin is an apt nickname for Jak Jones. He plays at his own pace and is never flustered. For safety play he is probably among the top five or six players in the world.

    Judd, is not playing very well and is not being aggressive enough. At the moment he is playing into Jak's hands.

    It is not that he is playing slow around the table but there are an awful lot of safety shots. Eventually the balls get tied up and it becomes very hard to win frames in one visit. He is missing balls he wouldn't normally miss because he is out of rhythm.

    John Higgins took the first frame this morning to only trail Kyren Wilson 5-4 but since then it has been one-way traffic.

    Four-time world champion Higgins has lost his way a little missing pots he would normally expect to roll in.

    Wilson, whose safety game has been excellent has cashed in, taking the 10th frame of the match and then the 11th with a run of 94.

    The Englishman has also just won the 12th frame and now has a very handy four-frame advantage again as the players head of for their mid-session interval.

    Jones 11-9 Trump

    Two Crucible quarter-finals for Jak Jones in his first two years at this venue but he is now only a couple of frames away from a place in the last four and a possible meeting with seven-time champion Ronnie O'Sullivan or 2015 winner Stuart Bingham.

    World number two Judd Trump looks bang in trouble in his quarter-final as the players get to the mid-session interval.

    The world number 44 Jak Jones has taken three of this morning's four frames and the match has continued to be played in the same vein as has gone before - fairly tactical and protracted frames that seem to have disrupted the 2019 world champion Trump's flow.

    The Englishman missed an absolute sitter of a pink in the 20th frame having had to work for an opportunity and Jones tidied up.
