    Wilson goes six clear with 122published at 21:18 British Summer Time 5 May

    Wilson 10-4 Jones

    Kyren Wilson misses the final black to middle for a 129 clearance but it's irrelevant - he's back to where he started the evening, six frames clear of Jak Jones.

    It was a poor safety from Jak that let Kyren in.

    What we are seeing is that the scoring power of the two players - Kyren can win frames in one visit, and Jak needs to start doing that.

    Wilson 9-4 Jones

    Kyren Wilson has taken these balls exceptionally.

    Laser focus in the eyes.

    He's fancying a fourth century of this final.

    Higgins beats Allen with final-frame clearance

    In response to your post at 20:59 I'll just this leave one with you lads.

    The risky double to get going that seven-time champion Stephen Hendry called "one of the bravest shots" he has ever seen.

    The red along the bottom cushion to get position on the brown and the sheer nerve to clear up and win a final-frame decider on the black.

    Vintage John Higgins.

    Good start for Kyren Wilson in frame 14 after Jak Jones inadvertently leaves a gimme red over the corner.

    The 'Warrior' past the 45 mark in brisk fashion.

    Tony D: I always feel that they should get double points on the colour if they pot two reds in one shot.

  8. 'He's going to have to make fewer mistakes'published at 21:06 British Summer Time 5 May

    Wilson 9-4 Jones

    Stephen Hendry
    Seven-time world champion on BBC Two

    Jak doesn't have the dynamic scoring of some players who can reel off three, four, five frames to no reply, a la O'Sullivan, Higgins, the best of the best.

    He doesn't have that in his game so he's going to have win them the way it's going - he's going to have to make fewer mistakes than Kyren.

  9. Jones pulls one backpublished at 21:02 British Summer Time 5 May

    Wilson 9-4 Jones

    Kyren Wilson, however, leaves a red hanging over the pocket - and this hands the frame on a plate for Jak Jones who already had a decent lead.

    Potting two reds in one shot helps as well - as it takes points off the table.

    The underdog is back in - however, he cannot control the cue ball and hands Kyren Wilson a big chance.

    Wilson 9-3 Jones

    Jak Jones has played a couple of excellent shots to turn this into a decent chance.

    But all of a sudden he runs out of position and the break will end at 28.

    And that snooker pays dividends as Kyren Wilson hits a red but leaves another one on...

    Wilson 9-3 Jones

    Jak Jones was greeted upon his return by a very animated lady in the crowd pumping her fist and urging him on.

    Did he take inspiration from that? Well, he's laid a cracking snooker on the baulk cushion behind the brown.

    Cam, Manchester: Someone get me Jak Jones' phone number, it looks like he needs a motivational speech at the interval.

    Mike White: Wonder how many of the 'worst final ever' mob relating to finalists in this year’s World Snooker Championship have previously moaned about 'same old faces' being involved or winning? Kyren Wilson and Jak Jones deserve to be there. Good for the sport to have new names.

    They were two impressive frames from Kyren, especially the last one.

    The balls are in the middle of the table but you still have to get them, under pressure.

    Kyren Wilson has just shown why he had that lead - impressive, and it's 'as you were' at the mid-session interval.

    A composed clearance of 60 re-establishes Kyren Wilson's six-frame cushion at the mid-session interval.
