    Don't think anyone saw that coming. Errors from both, fouls, potted the cueball etc. Makes for a much more interesting final.

    If he can keep a lead on Ronnie going into tonights session it gives him a good chance

    Great composure from the great man, with some great safety play - in the main - , and showing great patience. Whatever about today, I hope he plays in the World's like he's been playing here all week.

    A max no longer on - Ronnie wants this! He went for the better option with the pink, instead of going for risky glory..

    Brown has a pretty formidable safety game.

    Lovely blue - 5-3 would set it up nicely... A few difficult reds left her though... And runs out of position.

    Was a thoroughly entertaining session and probably did need to win that to keep his hopes of winning realistically alive. Three scrappy frames and won them all which is what he has to do. Won five matches in deciders this week, including against selby, so obviously does have the tactical element to his game. Really nicely set now.

    If Jordan can win the first frame tonight and go 6-3 it will be a bitter blow to Ronnie . If Ronnie goes 5 -4 and only one frame behind difference it will motivate him and give confidence .

    Aah, he's had 4 decent chances to take this frame and hasnt made the most of any of them. Key point of match here i think.

    I'm afraid you're right. Can see Ronnie running away with frame wins now

    That plant certainly didn't look on from the tv angle, made a hames of it anyway. Hint of desperation about it. Bad sign.

    6 -5 to rocket. If Jordan doesn't win next frame he's bolloxed

    Definitely got a bit of cohones brown, say that much for him. Deserved that frame. Still a big outsider but you never know, ronnie bit in and out over the course of the match.

    Needs to get a frame in one visit... Hasn't been doing that enough.... And he needs to avoid that blue on the way back to baulk - he's cannoned it several times today.

    We saw a few hit and hopes from Ronnie before the interval. Remind you of his semi final against Selby in Sheffield last August.

    Ronnie angry about that replaced cueball... Brendan Moore could only go on one camera angle - surely Ronnie would have played the same shot the second time... Could yet be controversial,,, But Jordan won't care :pac:

    Ronnie is going to be embarrassed if he loses this, after calling lower ranked players numpties and the like

    Outstanding performance for a player ranked 81 at the start of the week. Not sure whats the lowest ranked player to win a ranking title, this would have to be close. If he gets there! Fingers crossed for him, some nerve so far!
