    I fell asleep for the last frame but up to that point, engrossed.

    Quite looking forward to this final. If it goes the way we all fear then it'll be horrible, but if it doesn't then it'll be an absolute cracker.

    Selby's firmware needs an update, that smile was a bit Arnie in T2.

    That was such a bad safety shot from Luca. Bring it on.

    Google tells me the Snooker Hall of Fame was founded in 2011, and I was pondering when I was reminded of the Premier League one recently whether we're all a bit too cynical to try and start something like from scratch in this day and age. Or whether it just feels like too American a concept for us (compared to cricket say where individual grounds have their own ways of charting memorable performances.) The NFL Hall of Fame is a thing people actually care about but it also started 60 years ago when there was possibly a bit more earnestness about the whole affair and now it's just a thing that's been there, to most people, as good as forever.

    I do believe the beautiful bald Belgian bastard has Selby a touch rattled here.

    Well, this is delightful. I'm sure the depressed from Leicester will come back at some stage, but for now I'm loving it.

    There's no sight in sport like Mark Selby playing on with four snookers required.

    I couldn't believe it, it was like a sort of nine ball exhibition shot.

    Was excellent in every area while maintaining his lunatic attacking style. Astonishing performance.

    Enjoying the crowd being fiercely pro-Brecel. Hopefully someone sacrifices their seat to shout some verbals and trigger a mental breakdown.

    The front row of seats has been consistently empty through the latter stages. Are they prohibitively expensive or something? Every other seat seems full.

    I was wondering that too. Maybe corporate seats and no one bothers to turn up to those until the final day/session?

    I had a look for tickets to the final and couldn't see much available at all, so I'm with Boyd and going for corporate types flanging out.

    Thought that was the last frame of the session the way Selby was hyping the crowd.

    Wouldn't put it past Selby to have deliberately failed to clear up there to have nice half hour of grinding here.

    The pockets are huge on this table. That brown would never have dropped on a club table, even the good ones.

    It's Star I think, they make shitty snooker tables.

    This has got Brecel coming out tomorrow, missing some outrageous attempts and getting ground to death written all over it.

    I feel like for Brecel to have played this well and only be one frame in front will get to him.

    Hard to see Selby being stopped from here.

    BBC have no latest score or any reference to it at all on their whole sport front page.

    We’ve chastised the TV schedule this year but the website is even worse. Often there was no live page and recap articles were littered with errors (wrong scores and spelling mistakes). Compare that to the WSL which gets shoved down our throats on there. So I checked viewing figures of both.

    The snooker on BBC2 last weekend peaked at 1.4m viewers (before getting punted to BBC4, then iPlayer), whilst the WSL brings in a lofty 500k per live match.

    The BBC coverage of it is poor however it's currently the main story on the sport page when I go to it.

    Rough old shot to get started from Brecel there. Might be enough around the cushions to stop Selby putting away the frame but probably enough for him to get a healthy start here.

    Well I'm glad that didn't go the way I feared. Very good from Brecel.

    And then that fluke.

    He probably doesn't feel pressure as Belgium is such a nothing country. What does it actually offer bar a failing national football team, overrated chocolate, mayo with fries and Poirot?

    Fuel for the wife beaters of Northern England to smack their missus about.

    I thought this started at 14.00. Slightly annoying.

    Selbys done well to make it his kind of match at the minute. Properly ground the momentum out of Brecel.
