Wilson leads 15-10 ahead of the final session.
Kyren Wilson repelled a determined effort from Jak Jones to conserve his five-frame lead after the penultimate session of the World Snooker Championship final in Sheffield.
Jones did the hard work after Wilson missed a simple red when 52 points clear, but having flicked a problematic red off the cushion to put all the balls in play for a dramatic clearance, he missed a yellow to the middle and let Wilson off the hook. But Jones’ hopes of making further inroads were curtailed by Wilson, who had looked out of sorts in the early stages but unearthed breaks of 50 and 83 to reach the mid-session interval having restored his five-frame overnight advantage at 13-8.
