Jak Jones shakes his head at BBC announcer's introduction at World Snooker Championship final

Jak Jones appeared to be unimpressed by Rob Walker's introduction ahead of Sunday's evening session at the World Snooker Championship final.

His opponent, Kyren Wilson, raced into a 7-1 lead after Sunday's afternoon session, leaving Welshman Jones with a mountain to climb in the final three sessions of the best-of-35 match.

Granted, Jones had it all to do given the Englishman's commanding lead, but appeared miffed at BBC announcer Walker's introductory speech.

Waiting in the wings, the camera panned to Jones as he prepared to stride out at the Crucible Theatre for Sunday night's evening session. And Walker said: "He's under pressure tonight, but he'll come out and give it absolutely everything."

Jones, though, screwed his face up into a grimace and shook his head, as though he was dismissing the notion of "pressure", and it perhaps served to spark the 30-year-old into life.

The Cwmbran native won the first two frame of the evening session to get it back to 7-3 and impressed further as he took the match to 10-6. An important final frame on Sunday night came down to the black, with both players having chances to win it. But it was Wilson who clinched it and he now heads into Monday's finale with a strong 11-6 lead.

Jones said to the BBC after the evening session on Sunday night: "It's a miracle I'm still in it. I've played shocking, absolutely shocking. But, yeah, I'm still in the match.

"I'm knackered, just knackered. I think if I'd had a decent night's sleep last night I probably could have done something today. But I'm still in the match. Get a good night's sleep, come out flying tomorrow and something can happen."

Shaun Murphy, who lifted the title as a qualifier in 2005, offered his view on just how big an achievement it would be if Jones was to replicate his feat with an improbable comeback victory.

"I've got it down that I think if Jak Jones wins this Championship it will be not just the biggest shock in snooker of all time, but one of the biggest shocks in sport around the world ever," Murphy told the BBC.

"That's the magnitude of the achievement we're seeing so far. This guy got here last year, made his debut and reached the quarters. He's then gone missing for an entire season, it's as if he doesn't know there's 20 other events to play in around the world.

"He turned up here again and he's just gone through the draw very serenely, looks completely composed and I just think stranger things have happened."
