Kyren Wilson vs David Gilbert LIVE: World Snooker Championship scores and today’s latest updates

Oh beautiful! Not concerned about the tight angle of the only red available to David Gilbert, he slipped it into his left-center pocket and got on the board first.

He will have a chance to make a break now.

A good break from Wilson forces Gilbert to play safe on his follow-up shot. He will be looking for another chance to score the first goal in this frame.

There are already two loose reds near the three balk colors, which could make the safety shot interesting.

As with the match, that frame swung both ways, but Kyren Wilson won it thanks to some great safety shots and a long pot of yellow.

There is one frame left to play before the mid-session break. Who will take it?

Lovely! Wilson screwed Brown and watched it fall, getting into perfect position for Blue. That works too, and when the pink fits into the bottom right pocket, the frame is his.

Gilbert didn’t have a good safety shot, so he took the pot but failed. Wilson rolled into the yellow with a comfortable long pot and headed straight for the green.

However, although the brown is topped by a balk cushion, it is not easy to pot and place it in the blue’s position.

David Gilbert is on the back foot after a few convenient safety shots from Kyren Wilson, who looks to put a yellow in right-center.

It didn’t work, but he managed to leave the cue ball on the top cushion at just the right angle for the yellow to fall. Gilbert looks like he’s playing it safe again.

no! He needs a break to attack Yellow, and he wobbles Yellow out of his chin in his upper left pocket. The frame came alive again as Gilbert led 48-45.

The next person to enter will definitely win.

It hurt for Gilbert to make a break like this to get the frame.

Wilson will miss it knowing he had this in his hands. Gilbert’s misposition means he has to negotiate an awkward black and the remaining red’s angle is suboptimal.

He avoided the pink with a curved touch and managed to land it in the bottom right corner. Gilbert, the follower, gets ahead by 3 when pink comes in.

I need to remove some of these colors to finalize the frame, but can I do that?

Oh, Kairen! He plays blue with a lot of sidespin and pops out of the central pocket. His break meant he had a 45 and a few more reds could have secured the frame.

David Gilbert has a chance to take it, but he needs to play well from here on out.

The screw went in for the Reds, the team’s mouth dropped open and the crowd erupted in applause. It’s still a long way off, but Gilbert seems to be doing well.

Neither player has yet led by more than one frame in this match. Wilson will be hoping to get back in front with a bright long red under his right pocket.

He plays from the green to set up his next shot, slips the red into the same pocket and shoots to the next black. Wilson seems to be doing well.
