Follow the Cazoo World Championship final between Mark Selby and Luca Brecel here, with updates after every frame…
Frame one
Brecel said after his semi-final victory that he would just come out and enjoy the final with no expectations. And if the first frame is anything to go by, he’ll have plenty of fun. A fluked red sets him up for a rapid break of 77 to go 1-0 ahead after just six minutes.
Selby 0-1 Brecel
Frame two
Two misses from Selby early in the frame – one on the brown and one on the black – allow Brecel to build a 66-6 lead. Selby claws his way back to within 36 points on the last red then traps his opponent behind the black to gain the required penalty points. After a long game of cat and mouse on the red, Selby flicks in a cracking pot to a baulk corner, but doesn’t gain position then missed a tough long blue. Brecel doubles the yellow and he’s two ahead.
Selby 0-2 Brecel
Frame three
Selby has a clear chance to get one on the board, but makes only 28 before under-cutting the black to a top corner. Brecel converts a fantastic pot on a red to a top corner and goes on to make 90 to extend his lead. Four-time Crucible king Selby is on the ropes. Who predicted this start?
Selby 0-3 Brecel
Frame four
An early turning point? Brecel has a chance to go 4-0 ahead if he can clear from 40-0 down, but on 38, with the balls at his mercy, the Belgian misses a red to centre. Selby makes him pay with a 54 clearance and he’s on the board. That red must be on Brecel’s mind as he heads to the dressing rooms for the interval.
Selby 1-3 Brecel
