      Higgins went for a very difficult red and left Gilbert a relatively easy to the middle, which he pots and is on any of the baulk colours.

      Few nervy shots there from Dave, leading to a missed black.

      Higgins now at the table with an easy opener and good position on the pink to split them if he wants.

      Recovers with a boss red into the middle and lands perfectly on the yellow. For me, Higgo remains the best-all round player of all time.

      The split has worked out this time and now it's looking like Higgins is in the final.

      But Higgins has collided with the green as he was trying to get on the penultimate red from the blue.

      Very, very, very difficult final red. Especially given the circumstances.

      Very clever shot to nothing on the final red there by Higgo.

      Didn't get the pot but got it safe and now has the advantage in the safety battle.

      Higgins going for a pot on the final red and misses the red completely.

      Gilbert now left with a similar shot. And he's rattled it in the jaws, but at least he hit the red. Got a snooker from it as well and then Higgins escapes with a double kiss which he got away with as it went safe to the side cushion.

      Gilbert got the safety wrong, caught it too thick and left John a difficult red to the middle which he's potted.

      Followed by the green. Now the six colours. Yellow, green, brown and blue. Missed the pink but it doesn't matter.

      17-16

      Three consecutive World Championship finals for John Higgins.

      What a F***ing player!

      Gutted I missed the sessions today.

      I'm hoping Gary Wilson can pull back against Judd but don't think he will have enough.

      Another great frame there too. Higgins will be hard to beat unless he has a bet on against himself

      Trump has just been too strong for Higgo in that second session.

      John needs to do something similar this afternoon or the evening session will be very short indeed.

      Anything worse than 14-11 at the end of the third session and I think that's curtains for Higgins.

      Maybe jinxing it but six reds, six blacks from Higgins in the opening frame of the session.
