    Wilson 8-3 Jones

    Sensational cueing on a black off the spot gets Kyren Wilson good position on the final red.

    He's five points to the good now. Should be a straightforward mop-up.

    These are the frames - the ones you are not supposed to win but you clear up and steal them.

    We've seen greats over the years make a career of doing this, John Higgins springs to mind. How many frames did he win that he shouldn't?

    They hurt so much, sat in your chair. Jak knows he should have that this frame in the bag.

    Wilson 8-3 Jones

    Attacking safety from Kyren Wilson which leaves Jak Jones a long but tough red.

    He misses it - and now we have a massive few minutes. If Wilson can clear from here, he's back six frames ahead.

    Wilson 8-3 Jones

    Kyren Wilson stony-faced in his chair - but he's going to come back to the table as Jak Jones loses position.

    The Welshman has a 23-point lead with five reds remaining.

    How many times do you see it? You put a player in a corner and the one way out is to pot their way out of trouble.

    The one thing all snooker players have in common. They can pot balls.

    Juniper_Berry: It’s the final and mobile phones still going off. Honestly my mind is blown with these humans.

    Wilson 8-3 Jones

    Huge round of applause from the Crucible crowd for an absolute stunner of a long red from Jak Jones, with the cue ball tight on the baulk cushion.

    Wonderful shot.

  8. Wilson wobblespublished at 20:14 British Summer Time 5 May

    Wilson 8-3 Jones

    Kyren Wilson runs out of position on the pink, although he feels he's had a kick on the white and asks the referee to clean the cue ball.

    The pot on the pink is relatively straightforward but it makes the next red tricky - and Wilson misses said red.

    We were talking about how Jak would be feeling if he could win this mini-session 3-1 and reduce his arrears.

    But that all disappears if Kyren wins this frame because all of Jak's hard work in frames one and two tonight mean nothing.

    Wilson 8-3 Jones

    The phone going off did not cause the error from Jak Jones - he went for an ambitious, difficult red to middle after the disturbance and missed it, leaving Kyren Wilson a very gettable opener.

    The 'Warrior' will fancy this, the way the reds are spread.

    Gee: So far tonight: BBC mentions of Jak Jones being from Wales = 5; BBC mentions of Kyren Wilson being from England = 0.

    Kyren Wilson is from Kettering, Northamptonshire, in England. There. 5-1.

    A mobile phone goes off in the audience.

    Who actually has their phone off silent nowadays?

  13. Postpublished at 20:07 British Summer Time 5 May

    Wilson 8-3 Jones

    Not been too many safety exchanges in this final but we're in the midst of one.

    Jak Jones plays an aggressive safety to break up the pack of reds while putting the cue ball tight on the cushion.

    Whoever makes the next mistake could be in trouble. Jones 13-0 ahead.

    Wilson 8-3 Jones

    Stunning pot on a red from baulk to the middle pocket by Jak Jones.

    We'll probably say this for most frames now - but with this being the one before the mid-session interval, he really needs to win it. Massive difference between 9-3 and 8-4.

  16. Jones calls criticism of playing style 'pathetic'published at 20:00 British Summer Time 5 May

    World Championship finalist Jak Jones says criticism over his style of play is "pathetic" and "does not bother" him at all.

    Jones, 30, became only the ninth qualifier to reach a Crucible final with a 17-12 win over Stuart Bingham on Saturday - a match that lasted nearly five hours longer than the other semi-final between Kyren Wilson and David Gilbert.

    Both Bingham and Judd Trump - beaten by Jones in the last eight - suggested the Welshman's tactical play affected their rhythm and contributed to their defeats.

    "I think they will always use that excuse," said Jones.

    "They are supposed to be the best players in the world but yet they are moaning about being knocked out of their rhythm. It seems strange to me. I haven't scored particularly well but my match play has got me through.

    "They just can't accept it. It's pathetic really, isn't it? The worst thing I've noticed when I'm playing them is that I feel like they want to play that game. It doesn't bother me. It is easy to blame what I am doing but it is working so I will take it."

    This is the benefit of having had such a good first session.

    Jak Jones came out all guns blazing and for a moment it looked like the momentum had turned but Kyren Wilson benefitted from being so far ahead that he could weather the storm.

    Wilson responds with 125 clearancepublished at 19:57 British Summer Time 5 May

    Wilson 8-3 Jones

    Kyren Wilson responds to the loss of three consecutive frames in the best way possible - a 125 clearance to extend his lead back to five frames.

    His third century of the final.

    Wilson 7-3 Jones

    Snookers required now for Jak Jones but he won't be coming back to the table.

    The "knowledgeable" Crucible crowd knew when frame ball was potted.

    One day, there will be an "unknowledgeable" Crucible crowd and I am all there for that.

    Jak went for a risky red and it's cost him dear.
