Jak Jones vs Kyren Wilson LIVE: World Snooker Championship final score and updates

After getting on the board first, Jak Jones misses another difficult long pot to leave Wilson with the first proper chance to build a break.

He gets off to a competent start thanks to a couple of reds and the blue which help to position the cueball down by the black. There are a few loose reds to play for so Wilson will clean these up first before taking any risks.

Jak Jones has the break in this final frame of the session. The cuebal only manages to creep past the baulk line and there’s a pot on for Kyren Wilson.

He doesn’t fancy it though and decides to play safe instead.

Wonderful from Wilson. He needed to win a frame to keep Jones in check and did so with a break of 87 that cleans up the table and moves him another small step closer to the title.

There’s one frame left in the afternoon session. Jones needs to win it to keep himself on the verge of challenging Wilson.

Red, colour, red is all that Wilson needs to move into an unassailable lead in this frame. His break extends to 31 as one of the needed reds goes in.

The blue follows and the cueball is sent down the table to rest by the top cushion. The next needed red is slipped into the bottom right pocket and the pink to the opposite corner follows.

That should be enough for him now.

Nerves. This match is tense, this frame is tense. Wilson misses a tough shot on the pink and only manages a break of one. The reds are spread over the table so Jones needs to take a shot as safety play won’t help him.

He lips a red out of the bottom right but doesn’t leave anything obvious on for Wilson. Perhaps one to the bottom right?

Yes, that’s where Wilson goes and drops the red in to set up a shot at the blue which hovers over the bottom left pocket. Opportunity here.

The follow up for Jones is a straight blue to the top left. He’s been struggling with these types of shots and misses it again! The blue comes flying back down the table and knocks a red in at the same time meaning it’s a foul from Jones.

The momentum swings back to Wilson.

He decides to play safe instead of taking on a risky pot and sits down with a lead of 13. The safety shot is strong but Jak Jones gets lucky.

He goes into the pack from the baulk cushion and one of the reds sneaks into the bottom left pocket!

He didn’t intend that at all but he’ll happily take it.

Yes! A long pot across the table to the bottom right sees the first red drop in and Wilson is left with a follow up shot on the pink to the middle left.

A sliced ​​red drops in the bottom left next which leaves an angle for the blue. Wilson is hoping to screw into the pack of reds, but they don’t really open up.

It’s not a terrible shot as the break can go on, but Wilson is worried about where the cueball will finish.

Two more frames to play this afternoon and Wilson gets this next one underway. There’s a slight chance to pot a red into the bottom left pocket but he prefers to target one for the bottom right.

He misses and Wilson has an easier pot to score first. Can he take it?

Kyren Wilson was 7-0 up in this match but since then Jak Jones was the better player winning 10 of the last 16 frames. Wilson, who has left the arena for a quick break, needs to win the next frame to settle down again.

This is an intriguing part of this final. If Jones takes the next two frames he’s right back in the match.
