don’t miss the rack pack tonight lads BBC2 at half nine

this is intense match snooker

Fu finding his feet now 14-14

Yes, its very different from the Ding semi final but its utterly compelling in its own way. Really tough, intense old fashioned snooker. Best of 5 now effectively.

great refereeing here as a phone goes off for the 4th time and the perpetrator is ejected

Really top notch snooker here from Selby. What a time to knock in a century.

This is classic Crucible tension.

The standard has ramped up

15-15

Anyone going to call it? I genuinely haven’t a clue or even a hunch either way.

impossible to call

Selby one frame away from the final 16-15.

Passions running high for the Jester.

He got away with that one

he lost his composure

Marco Fu was a great favourite of my granny, who was a huge snooker fan, so I’d like him to win.

We went on a day trip to Belfast on the Bank Holiday Monday after Fu lost the Grand Prix final in 1998, and all she wanted to talk about was Fu - she thought he was great. She was even asking strangers in a cafe had they seen him in action the previous night. They hadn’t.

Selby is a really poor break builder and scorer in general for a world number 1. I’d fancy him to close out this match now but I reckon Ding will do a real number on him.

That in-off was a shockingly bad shot by Selby.
