snooker world championship final

9-8. Selby is favourite I'd say. He is scoring heavy enough. Should have the experience to see Brecel off.

that is a fucking unbelievable break

Brecel has won the first three frames with some ruthless snooker.

Selby was in at the last but he broke down on 35. Brecel made a great century.

And one more after. If Brecel closes this off then this is the session.

13-8

This is wild.

mic drop

Woah. I think Virgo just shat himself live on air.

that doesn't sound like the kind of follow through viewers will be wanting to see

yeah should have potted that particular brown

Selby should get back to this. Can't believe he won't.

need to do some mind games

I'm missing all the action, prefer when it's on during working hours!

No mind games from Selby needed. Eventually wins the frame after a 63 break, which included a great red to the middle. 13-9.

now selby's safety shots are off

on enough though

and brecel's pots are off

He eventually grinds it out. Brecel began with a 41 break and didn't convert it. 13-10

Beautiful long red from Brecel. And then some shots to keep the break going when he needed to.

Another century

Lots of errors from both of them at the last

What a masterful clearance Brecel

15-10...just in awe at sown of these shots.

been at work so haven't watched, but what mental strength from Brecel to come out and do this after being pegged back last night

he must prevail. three measly frames. don't give him a sniff

Excellent response from Selby after another excellent break by Brecel. He had to make it with balk colours at the beginning.

Two frames shared.

they've both got the jitters.

Great clearance from Selby..

Beautiful opening shot from Selby, nothing but net

If he gets another 147 does he get 2/3rds of the prize money?

Boo

Shaun Murphy is so annoying

One visit snooker from Selby. 16-13 at the interval.

Glad Murphy is off, do prefer Hendry.

OTOH Virgo is on for Dennis Taylor.

Selby is getting stronger

16-14..

flukey bastard!

this is why I hate sport.

He wasn't going to leave anything tbh. It happens!

Just had to check that Jean van de Velde wasn't also Belgian (he was French).

Lol that wouldn't be the same thing anyway.

Brecel is in trouble. Did say if this goes close I think it's Selby and it's sadly proving to be the case.

is he worse than Higgins? nobody is but

Selby and Higgins are both all time greats lol

give up on the long pots ffs

Brecel's game is looking very shabby at the moment. He said he doesn't use a B game but I don't think he has one.

Now..

Ok that 50 break could be what Brecel needs.

blimey, a lot going on here. It's Brecel's to lose now

Selby flukes that red then misses the brown...snookers required

Brecel one away

Brecel played some really good safety in that one

I meant worse than Higgins in terms of their ineluctable grit, their monstrosity
