But he can only reply with eight.

Trump takes on a testing cut on a red with the cue ball near the side cushion. It wobbles in the jaw... and stays out. Gimme for Selby.

Most of the final, it's been Judd Trump getting in first with a long pot - but Mark Selby says 'my turn'.

But then he misses a black off the spot just seven points in.

Judd Trump almost leaps out of his seat.

Judd would love to win the next one and get right behind him - 8-7 would make things look so much different.

That's probably the most fluent he's been in the entire match, the last few frames he's scoring again, and he's dangerous.

Regardless of what's gone on in this match from Judd's perspective, normal service has been resumed.

Now we're in territory all snooker players are used to - fight to the finish, wipe the slate clean.

Judd Trump takes fewer than 10 minutes to win frame 14.

A fantastic 125 break - just missing an exhibition double on the final black.

Huuuuuuge frame coming up...

Trump 5-8 Selby

Frame long ago in the bag, Judd Trump passes the 100 mark.

There's a possible 135 on... well 132 now after he takes the brown with the final red.

This final could go close the way Judd has started playing.

Judd Trump plays a very smart shot to nudge a red away from the black to free the highest-valued colour up.

His visit is approaching 50 and plenty reds still to pick off. Massive chance to get back within two frames.

John Parrott

Sometimes you don't need to force it so much because you're so close, you just need to play a proper frame of snooker where you don't give your opponent another chance.

AGAIN. Judd Trump first in. Long - if easy-ish - red near the bottom corner.

Now what can he make of this?

He's made breaks of 68, 74, 75, 62 and 105 in this final - but he's also broken down in promising positions a number of times too.

Nope, no ton this time. Mark Selby misses the pink on 91.

But all he'll care about is stopping the rot and moving within two frames of a third UK title.

Stephen Hendry
Seven-time world champion on BBC Two

When Selby beat Judd at the recent Champion of Champions final he finished with three centuries in a row.

It would be incredible if he did the same again...

Mark Selby is looking like he will do exactly that.

Frame-ball red is as easy as you could want - and down it goes.

Could be a nerve-settling century on now...

Stephen Hendry
Seven-time world champion on BBC Two

If he wasn't to win the frame from this visit, you would certainly fear for his frame of mind.

This afternoon he looked unplayable - but the player out there tonight is totally different in terms of confidence.

He really needs to win the frame from this chance.

A poor shot from Judd Trump, missing a very, very tough red to middle and misjudging the safety aspect of the shot, presents Mark Selby with another golden chance to score heavily here in frame 13.

Nope, just 19, Stephen.

It really is amazing the contrast between the Mark Selby of seven hours ago and the one we're seeing now.

Stephen Hendry
Seven-time world champion on BBC Two

What he wouldn't give to score 40 or 50 points here just to get some rhythm and confidence back.

Dennis Taylor

Mark has gone off the boil - in that first mini-session this evening he has made more mistakes than he has in his past couple of matches.
