    Stuart Bingham will be aware that on paper he'll never have a better opportunity to reach a World Championship final and he has probably been surprised at how well Jak Jones is handling the enormity of the match.

    Jak Jones misses a red but his lead is 56 with only 43 on the table.

    Bingham isn't giving in yet though.

    Bingham 9-11 Jones

    Stuart Bingham needed a good start but that's so so sloppy. He's short on a pink to the middle.

    Jak Jones is in and the reds are fanned out so well even a pub player would fancy making 30.

    I'd have made at least eight from this.

    Jones is rapidly into his 40s.

    Class is permanent and all that. A two-frame deficit is nothing for a man of Stuart Bingham's calibre.

    But he needs to raise his game quickly.

    Play resumes. Four to play.

  5. 'Extraordinary composure'published at 12:07

    Bingham 9-11 Jones

    When Jak Jones does make an occasional mistake it does not linger with him. There is no mental hangover from previous misses when he comes back to the table. In many ways it is reminiscent of John Higgins at his best.

    His personality is tailor-made for this area. He is an even-tempered guy, so you don't get the wild sparks of joy or the lows and that is serving him well in this match.

    The level of composure he is showing is extraordinary for the amount of experience he has.

    Bingham 9-11 Jones

    Jak Jones has never won a ranking event.

    The World Championship would be a decent place to get the first one under your belt.

    It's only the second time the Welshman has played at the Crucible.

    Where has Jak Jones' form come from? It's amazing.

    The way he has played here is magnificent. It's refreshing to see.

    Jak Jones looked nervous at the start but now it's Stuart Bingham who is looking more nervous, even though he's won the championship.

    Maybe it's because he's the favourite.

    Nine times out of 10 he wins the frame from the position he was in when he missed the black off the spot.

    He has to dictate the pace of play. He is letting Jak Jones dominate the patterns of play with long bouts of safety.

    What a performance from Jak Jones in this third session. His solid technique is standing him in good stead.

    Stuart Bingham has something to think about in the interval.

  10. Jones edges aheadpublished at 11:54

    Bingham 9-11 Jones

    And there we have it. Jak Jones finishes things off to take the frame and ensure a two-frame advantage after winning that mini-session 3-1.

    Stuart Bingham will be raging having missed blacks off the spot in successive frames.

  11. Job nearly donepublished at 11:51

    11:51

    Bingham 9-10 Jones

    Jak Jones goes past the 50 mark. It's his seventh half-century in this match so far and puts him 49 points ahead with 43 points to play for.

    Job almost done. An 11-9 interval lead looks likely.

  12. It's getting hot out therepublished at 11:45

    Can you believe it? That's the second black Stuart Bingham has missed off the spot. How costly will that be? A lapse in concentration.

    It's getting hot out there.

    Jak Jones is steadying himself.

    No need for further explanation on that entry. It's all there for the taking for Jones.

  13. 'Stuart has missed a trick'published at 11:40

    Stuart is not taking his chances - he missed the long pot on the green and missed a black off the spot earlier,

    You'd think he would kick on with the chances he's had but Jak Jones is sticking in there.

    Stuart has missed a trick because he didn't press on.

  14. Unflappable Jakpublished at 11:35

    11:35

    Bingham 9-10 Jones

    The final frame before the mid-session interval is under way. And Jak Jones gets in instantly with a sumptuous long red.

    I'd say he's been slightly more consistent than Stuart Bingham in this match-up. He's not let a few bad shots affect him too much.

    "He's unflappable," says Shaun Murphy.

    But the Welshman's break ends on 16 in really unlucky circ*mstances as he crashes in a red and goes in off the blue.

  15. A nine-year waitpublished at 11:31

    It is nine years to the day that Stuart Bingham clinched his only world title to date.

    Could this be the day he books his place in a second final? The odds have got a bit longer after losing a lengthy 19th frame to trail by one at 10-9.

    The 47-year-old would become the oldest world champion in Crucible history, if he were to lift the trophy on Monday evening.

    Bingham 9-10 Jones

    Jak Jones holds his nerve to seal the deal. He leads by one at 10-9.

    Stuart Bingham's long pot success is down to 40% in the match now.

    That's a big reason as to why Jones is back in the lead.

    Bingham 9-9 Jones

    We're already 37 minutes into this frame. One for the purists.

    Stuart Bingham goes for a tough green and leaves it.

    This should be frame over.

    11:26

    Bingham 9-9 Jones

    Jak Jones has given away 99 points from 22 fouls so far in this semi-final.

    It's around 10% of the total points that Bingham has scored.

    Bingham 9-9 Jones

    Stuart Bingham has the sniff of victory in his nostrils. He pots the final red and moves onto the colours.

    But the green is a problem ball and he has to play safe.

    Bingham trails by five points. Twenty five are still up for grabs.

  20. Doubling uppublished at 11:18

    11:18

    Bingham 9-9 Jones

    Ball-run Bingham doesn't fully get away with a careless safety. Jak Jones tries his luck with a double and nails it. But he can't pot a colour so plays safe.

    One red remains. The Welshman leads by 17 points.
