THANKS FOR FOLLOWING THE ACTION WITH US…We will be back at 7pm as these two battle to a conclusion to see who takes home the British Open championship. Let’s hope for the same quality then.HIGGINS 3-5 SELBYA total clearance of 135 ends one of the highest-quality sessions of snooker you will ever see. Higgins will seldom play as well as that and be behind.HIGGINS 3-4 SELBY (0-100*)The third century of the session, Selby’s second, and it will give the Leicester man a two-frame advantage to take into this evening’s session.HIGGINS 3-4 SELBY (0-38*)It is such a high-quality match up. Selby is at the table and looking well capable of going back two frames in front.HIGGINS 3-4 SELBYHiggins fights back with his first century of the final. A break of 104.HIGGINS 2-4 SELBY (6*-0)Higgins is back on the table and this time in a position to make it pay.IGGINS 2-4 SELBY (1-0)Higgins with the first pot in what is a crucial frame for him. HIGGINS 2-4 SELBYHe is looking irrepressible at present. A fantastic break of 88 to take a two-frame lead.HIGGINS 2-3 SELBY (43-51*)Selby has now taken the lead and is favourite for the frame.HIGGINS 2-3 SELBY (43-5*)The safety was not safe enough. Selby with another fantastic pot hitting the red from just before the blue into the bottom left pocket.HIGGINS 2-3 SELBY (43-0)Higgins runs out of position and plays safe to near baulk.HIGGINS 2-3 SELBY (16*-0)Higgins this time is first with his hand on the table. Can he do what Selby has done in the last two frames and take the frame in one visit.HIGGINS 2-3 SELBYA fabulous total clearance of 137 puts Leicester’s finest into the lead.HIGGINS 2-2 SELBY (0-104*)Selby has the first century of the final.HIGGINS 2-2 SELBY (0-69*)Another fine break from Selby which will take him ahead in this high-quality match.HIGGINS 2-2 SELBY (0-1*)A safety exchange is again ended with a fantastic long pot. These two are both in fine form.HIGGINS 2-2 SELBYHe deserved a century but the last red refused to drop in the bottom right corner. As good a break as you’ll see that from Selby. And we are all square at the mid-session interval.HIGGINS 2-1 SELBY (1-69*)A fantastic break of 69 has won him the frame now – and he’s not done yet.HIGGINS 2-1 SELBY (1-4*)Selby with a good long red to get on the board. It is a tricky table to work out but if anyone is suited to doing so, it is the Jester. HIGGINS 2-1 SELBY (1-0)A very different start to this match, with Selby missing a pot and opening the table up, though it took a great shot from Higgins to find a path way around the clustered reds but he can only play a snooker off the brown.HIGGINS 2-1 SELBYSelby ran out of position and was slightly loose with a safety but it required a fantastic pot from Higgins to put the frame beyond doubt.HIGGINS 1-1 SELBY (60-4*)Selby with a good long pot, then fine positional shot on the green. He is 56 behind with 59 on the table.HIGGINS 1-1 SELBY (60-0)As he approached frame ball, Higgins misses an attempted cannon to keep position on the black and he then leaves the brown safe and the ball on the balk cushion.HIGGINS 1-1 SELBY (8*-0) Another fine long dead-weight red from Higgins and though the black thereafter wobbles in the bottom left pocket, it eventually goes in and he has the opportunity now for a big break.HIGGINS 1-1 SELBYHe falls short of the century, ending on 80, but most importantly, he sealed the frame to put the match all square.HIGGINS 0-1 SELBY (45*-0)Higgins breaks up the pack and now looks like he will win the frame in this visit, quite possibly with a century.HIGGINS 0-1 SELBY (12*-0) Selby misses a long pot and the white follows through into the bottom left pocket. Higgins follows up with a fine long pot leaving himself on the black.HIGGINS 0-1 SELBY A break of 63 seals the frame for Selby. When he is potting this well, he looks a tough man to beat.HIGGINS 0-0 SELBY (12-38*)Selby did the same a second time…and is then forced to take on a very difficult red which he pots with aplomb. And the table is now ready for him to put the frame beyond doubt.HIGGINS 0-0 SELBY (6-37)I said that…and then Selby misses an attempted safety off the bottom cushion and hits the pink. Higgins gets the ball replaced.HIGGINS 0-0 SELBY (0-37)High-class safety play from both players. It’s not going to be a fast game, but one for the connoisseurs.HIGGINS 0-0 SELBY (0-37)A polished break of 37 which ends with a safety leaving the ball tight to the balk cushion.HIGGINS 0-0 SELBY (0-5*)Selby opens the scoring with a long red and the table looks well set up for a big break. HIGGINS 0-0 SELBY (0-0)An early safety exchange from these two canniest of operators.hELLO AND WELCOME!It all comes down to this!
