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.
Twice the qualifier, who had lost the first seven frames of the match, hauled back the deficit to three, but on each occasion Wilson responded and ended the afternoon three frames away from the title at 15-10.
Jones had staged a sterling recovery in Sunday night’s second session but ought to have ended the day just 10-7 down after losing the final frame of the evening on the black after Wilson had required a snooker.
