snooker world championship final

v unlucky for the red to run on like that off the split. still alive..

just kidding!

Murphy's incredible right now

8-4, awesome.

I know I was wrong the previous time I said it, but I don't see Bingham winning this one. He's good and all, but if Moiphy keeps playing like this...

Actually like the idea that Murphy and Alex Higgins are the ones to win World titles ten years apart. Quite a pair.

must win frame from Bingham now..

got there in the end..8-5

Shaun has missed a couple of long pots - Bingham in with a great chance.

boom

Century for 8-6.

fkn unbelievable pot by Bingham in the middle, cue stuck to the cushion.

fkn hell this is a game of two halves.

I take everything I said back. It's going to be 17-17 and a respotted black to decide.

last frame might turn scrappy..

watching again now btw

LOL @ that fluke for 9-8

Can't wait for tomorrow.

Well well well...
Still fancy Murphy to win but at least Bingham is making him fight for it at the moment.

Last fluke on the red was p ridic.

what a turnaround from Bingham!! playing great to win all four frames and a near max too.

Shaun also hurrying on the shot, looking lost but the mid-session has arrived.

As yesterday when Bingham got a chance from 8-4 down this is must win for Murphy now.

He did win but Bingham has been on top, sharing the last mini-sesh 2-2.

In the mid-break they were talking about Barry Hearn's first five years and a Bingham victory is almost the culmination of that. This nowhere guy at the right place, gets the matches and tournaments he needs, plays in all of them (unlike Ronnie and some of the others he doesn't whine about commitments/traveling away), improves into a match player that is good enough and hungry enough to knock out Ronnie and Judd and absolutely beat the shit out of Murphy this afternoon.

Only thing that can stop him is this break between sessions/thinking out too loud.

Murphy has been awfully pleasant throughout the tournament. Makes it impossible to hate him or wish him ill, really. Probably much better that way. Been an amazing final.

A wtf frame: 37 break from Murphy and now back to a safety exchange.

Should win it now.

Bet Hendry is getting twitchy @ this stuff.

14-12. Makes sure we have a final mini-session.

Getting his mojo back.

Finest break of the match. Black on brown spot, pink tied up for the most part. Bingham wasn't timing it right either, just kept potting them.

103 break: 15-12.

wish I was watching this rather than standing in the rain in Leicester Square. Will see the final mini-session I guess

Couple of nervous shots from Bingham - Murphy has got to make him earn it here.

now, yellow for the red

tough pot on the red..

Brilliant shot, amazing clearance..

Two of the best breaks you'll see...first time where you think this is going all the way.

Reaching a point in the final where we'll see quite a lot of safety and more drama.

Bingham freezing up.

15-14. As Hendry is saying Murphy has just become favourite so this mid-session has come just in time for Bingham.

mid-sesh interval.

might have to stop watching this again :/

Gotta man up.

More misses in this frame than in the entire match.

Its gonna be 15-15. Jimmy White needed in the commentary box.

Guy can't buy a 20 break.

12.30am finish at this rate - be there or be square.

genuinely fuck that

man it was horrible to get the white in the pocket from the red like that. Shaun to go in front from here..

unbelievable miss on the yellow. all the drama from now on.

great snooker there from bingham
