16-16, so winner of this one into the final. Nip and tuck all the way until a snooker. McGill takes EIGHT shots and keeps missing, meaning the fouls left him needing a snooker. Very next shot, Wilson plays an innocuous safety (bearing in mind he's 39 ahead with 35 on the table) and the cue ball cannons off the yellow into the pocket. HE then fouls two or three times. Then the key red is on the opposite lip of the pocket, won't cut, so the players take turns attempting to clip it in off the top cushion. After 5 attempts, it sinks leaving a lovely looking set of balls to win the frame. Two shots in, McGill snookers himself during what should be a regular clean up. They are still at it...
I don't think I can do the drama full justice tbh.

Absolutely incredible watch

I thought Kyren Wilson was going to lose it completely after he fluked that green. He took it way worse than McGill. Switched it on when they were dicking around with that last red

Even Hendry said he's never seen anything like that, ever. Probably won't again.

Captivating is just the right word
Incredible human drama. Watching two men trying, and ultimately failing to hold themselves together under intense pressure was jaw dropping.
In the cold light of day it was second to Taylor v Davis .. but only just ... and streets ahead of the next best drama which snooker has ever offered.

Time to lump on Selby ... or Ronnie (but probably Selby). Wilson has nothing left
This could be good too. Selby was poor first session but hung in there. Ronnie was poor this morning but hung in there.
I am a big Ronnie fan, but I think Selby will grind this out.
I read that without punctuation and I only caught the 2nd half of it.
Flicked over when the cricket was called off just as it was getting really tasty. Who knew such an empty auditorium could be so tense?

Accidentally turned it on. Watching Ronnie playing snooker Jekyll and Hyde style

I forgot how 'box office' Ronnie was.
