00:00Again, three, two, three more frames to come in this session.
00:30Trump has managed to knock in reds off a couple of Sean Murphy's breaks today and had a chance
00:40to do so again.
00:41Not this time.
00:43Missed that one by quite a distance, which is why he can and the other red.
00:55Not quite a repeat of that extraordinary fluke that Trump got early in the match when he
01:24saw not one but two kisses with the red on its way to the right centre pocket at a very
01:30acute angle, but it was close.
02:12This long game has been brilliant so far in this final.
02:31that one very close but Trump can pot it
03:01the Bramble
03:31five
03:42six
04:00Quite a nice pack to
04:23charge into.
04:27Just trying to be careful and
04:29detect any possible plants
04:31to right corner.
04:34Yeah, he feels like
04:35there's one to left
04:37corner, perhaps, so
04:38what that'll probably mean
04:41is that
04:42he'll hang the power off
04:45and go into, perhaps, the left
04:47hand side of them.
04:51Play a more controlled
04:52mini-split.
04:59Just the one on the left,
05:05almost a little soft
05:06push cannon.
05:13Yeah, it was difficult
05:14to get a good outcome.
05:16Still on it.
05:17Look at what you had in mind.
05:25Pretty horrible
05:26cueing, this.
05:33Negotiated it
05:34as though
05:34it wasn't tricky.
05:35It was.
05:38Which well?
05:59and that brilliant cannon into the cluster of reds gives Trump a chance to move to clear again

08:01this final have had a terrific balance to their own games in this tournament. Slightly
08:09different thing we're seeing here from Jug, he takes his time when trying to create openings
08:15and when he gets one, and a good one, he ups the ante and ups the pace. Back for Blues,
08:22no big stress. Certainly on this cloth, the way it's running, players are generally being
08:30finding the top line, although not this time. So, that raises one or two doubts. The green
08:41being off its spot does help with the red down the right. He can reach it no problem. But
08:47he'd like to be close to it, obviously.
09:00That almost seemed like two bad contacts in a row, many ones. You never know, but now
09:15the cue ball is about six or eight inches shy of where he wanted it, so the brown is going
09:20to hamper his torso. Hence the rest.
09:32applause, but the frame not quite clinched. Another good shot required from Trump to do
09:48so. 67 remaining. This is the key ball. And he's just caught the near jaw. So, 64 from
10:09Trump off Murphy's Miss Long Red, but not quite a frame clincher.
10:16Heh, there he goes.
10:25K saladатели.
10:35Uh...
10:38Hum...
10:42Murphy, forced into a
11:10containing safety. There's been no semblance of a close frame so far. They've all been one with sizable brakes.
11:40Well, Chud may pay for leaving that plant. The other reason that he'd play it is that
12:01he can play to get the pink off the cushion. Not quite, but he is going to be on the black.
12:13The comeback in the frame is on. A snooker crowd loves the plant.
12:25T'was ever thus. But how significant is it going to be? Could Murphy conjure a Higginsk
12:34steal here to level the match again?
12:37There's his fiancée, Joe, on the left. Peter Ebden, his coach, of course, on the right.
12:49Big visit for Murphy.
12:52And the attempt at counter-clearance ends disappointingly prematurely.
13:09for the magician.
13:30Judge Trump breathes again. It's going to be 4-2.
13:34One.
13:39So, quite a dramatic frame. On the face of it, a straightforward one for Trump.
13:44But that was a chance for Murphy to at least get right back in the frame after Trump had missed
13:49frame ball black himself. But Murphy doing the same. Missing that black to the left corner.
13:57And so, Trump can't be any worse than level going into this evening's deciding session.
14:03That puts the pressure on Murphy now in the two remaining frames this afternoon.

15:21Murphy left to ponder what might have been had the black gone in, but the chance of a steal
15:29came and went with that mistake and Judd Trump mops up what's required to take.
