Judd Trump against Mark Williams Live: Score and Updates from the Semi-Final of the World Snooker Championship

Trump achieves another break of 71, but misses a red to the left center, which means that Williams returns to the table to hunt a snooker and an release to steal the frame.

Williams decides to clear most of the balls before he catches Trump for pink and black, but he cannot get control of the security battle and absorbs the black after leaving the pink to signal its handover.

After Trump's demolition, Williams plays a slightly loose safety shot, which leaves a long diagonal red into the lower right corner-and the cue ball had to be much closer to the construction pillow to be safe. Trump buried the pot and he brought a good chance to score again …

This is a first-class break building from Trump, which contains a brilliant position shot from Yellow in the red near the black and develops several balls. A break of 71 gets the frame. What a match that's it.

First blood to trump in this context and use the rest to control a red into the lower left corner pocket. The reds are common in small clusters that have to be carefully disguised when he progresses through this break, but it is an inviting situation to score …

Williams puts a brilliant, high tariff red into the lower left pocket and knocks a few more balls in to see Trump's challenge, and he is in front.

Mark Williams takes a wonderful break for half a century to take control of this first morning frame, but he loses the position after making a thin black, and now he cannot head red. End of the break and leads with 83 points with 57: 0.

John Parrott, who spoke on the BBC, praised Williams and Trump yesterday for their competition: “That was my previous favorite session – it had everything. Centuries, releases, errors – great.”

So we are not far away from the beginning this morning, which is supposed to get going shortly after 10 a.m. It is a fresh start this morning and a best-of-17 competition to reach the final.

Not too long now until we drive back in the melting pot. If you need a quick update of all previous actions in Sheffield, you have covered them:
