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

Wow – a stunning long pot! From up against the baulk cushion, Jak Jones has no option but to take on a horribly hard long red, just off straight. It’s probably a 10% chance but Jones sends the red into the heart of the corner pocket and rolls up to leave the cue ball perfectly on the black. That was the best pot of the final so far, and the crowd howled their approval.

He’s got a good chance now.

Wilson wins the safety battle and he’s in among the balls, but a horribly heavy contact with a red leaves him out of position and chasing the next few balls. His luck runs out when he misses a mid-length red, although he makes sure to send the cue ball back to baulk and out of trouble.

Wilson leads this frame 18-13 as Jones steps up to the table with nothing on.

Jones has started this 12th frame positively, potting a stunning red into the left middle pocket from baulk with power and confidence. However, the break is brief and now he’s got himself in a bit of a pickle trying to escape a snooker set up cleverly by Kyren Wilson.

Here’s that brilliant century from Kyren Wilson – including that remarkable last red:

The last red is dispatched delightfully, Kyren Wilson generating remarkable power and action on the cue ball to screw back for the blue. In go the colors – Wilson puts a pause on the fightback with a delicious 125 to take his first frame of the evening.

A drink of a red keeps Wilson trucking through the seventies having ended up on the wrong side of the blue. A third century of the match may well beckon.

A cheery chomp of the jaws but a mid-range red falls for the Englishman, doing a bit of dental work on the way through. The following black takes a couple of teeth with it, too – it’s streaky, and Kyren Wilson will still need to split the bunch, but he’s building his lead.

Jones gets a little over-eager trying to pounce, skidding a red up past the baulk colors and not particularly close to the pocket.

Wilson bunts a red into the left middle.

Kyren Wilson won’t be overly fretting yet. He atones for a missed long pot by shepherding one in rather more gently.

But that’s careless. Wilson cues right across a relatively straightforward red and doesn’t even tap the jaws.

It’s a third on the spin. Some strong cueing allows Jones to screw back just far enough to access the red he needs for frame ball, the pink that follows making totally certain. Another half-century and Jak Jones is back in the mix.
