The World Snooker Championships enters its final day. One of Welshman Jak Jones or Englishman Kyren Wilson will be crowned champion of the world today.

Jones came in to the tournament as an outsider, but defeated 2019 winner Judd Trump in the quarter-final and 2015 champion Stuart Bingham in the semi-final to secure himself a surprise place in the final, pocketing £200,000 in the process.

Wilson, meanwhile, came into the final as a heavy favourite against the unfancied Jones. Wilson defeated David Gilbert 17-11 in his semi-final.
