Hazel Irvine presents live coverage of the third and penultimate session of the final on day 17 at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield. Last year, Mark Williams narrowly avoided becoming the first player since Jimmy White in 1993 to lose this final with a session to spare, but he still trailed Zhao Xintong 17-8 going into the evening. With commentary and analysis from Steve Davis, Ken Doherty, Steven Hallworth, Stephen Hendry, John Parrott, Joe Perry, Dennis Taylor and Lee Walker
