Funny, Selby finds himself in a reverse role to last year, when he led 13-11 himself and lost.

It's a small lead, but Bingham doesn't seem to be affected by Selby's tactics so I think he'll win.

They'll share the first 4 for me, 15-13. I think it has all the makings of a decider, unless Bingham pulls away early.

Selby didn’t even play badly tonight, really. Bingham was excellent (and got a healthy dose of luck at a crucial stage).

Let’s not pretend that coming out of it 2-6 was a relatively strong result from a scrappy underdog who was playing terribly.

Selby fought tooth and nail but got buck all, so why praise him over Bingham? The two frames he won were frames he should have won anyway. Three frames were pure Selby frames, and the score from those frames? Selby 0-3 Bingham.

Bingham was brilliant, got the luck at the right time, and Selby terrible most of it. The missed blue in that hour long frame, plus the safety on the final black tells us how his night went.

Bingham has zero chance now he needed a bigger lead going in to the final session Selby has had a terrible match and won 11 frames Bingham has been by miles the better player but got a 2 frame lead its curtains for stu from here mate.

Let's get one thing straight. I also think Selby will win later today, and that's because I believe Selby is still a comfortably better player overall than Bingham, for whom a two-frame lead is not going to be quite enough.

Selby has played some decent match-play snooker overall, but I'm not going to praise him for his performance in the third session. He was dreadful, and his matchplay was dreadful. He made a pig's ear of that final frame and also lost another frame that he definitely should have won as it was tailor-made for him. He lost the session 6-2 and has suffered a four-frame swing, and he absolutely could have done better. A clued-in Selby, even when playing quite badly on the face of it, gets 3-5 or even 4-4 from that session. On this occasion he struggled for form but, and this is a rareity, has fuck-all to show for it.

Compare that session to his outstanding damage limitation against Ding in the third session of their 2017 semi-final, and it's like night and day. Anybody praising his third-session performance this time around simply has their head up his bottom. All he has done is make life more difficult for himself later today. Will he overcome it? I quite strongly suspect he will, but if he wins, he wins in spite of his third session, not because of it.
