Rod misses all four snookers Dom needed and leaves a free ball as well. He'll kick himself if he loses this frame.

Rod flukes the yellow when snookered and Dom concedes. 3-0. All that effort for nothing. What a weird frame. Longer than the entire other semi.

That will hurt Dom! But what an extraordinary frame that was.

Okay well that hurt me let alone Dom. This is the point I switch off and wish Lawler none of the best ever in snooker again.
Such a cruel sport really is.

Rod misses the green when he a good chance to make a frame winning break. Dom has the chance now; has to take it.

Dom misses the green as well, but luckily Rod misses frame ball. Dale still has a small chance.

Not anymore. Not a colour and went in off. Three snookers needed; not that'll stop Dom from playing on.

And Rod gets over the line. Not a breakbuilding fest but full of drama and tactics. Rod gets the first substantial rest of the day before the final.

Fu should win if you look at their respective performances in the semis, but snooker doesn't always work like that. Lawler defintely won't leave as many chance as Murphy did and Fu is known for his inconsistency.

Century as well.
No nerves or fatigue (yet).

Careless miss from Marco, but he's let off and is in again. If Rod had got to 2-0 it would've put some (more) pressure on Marco.

Scrappy, but Marco takes it eventually. Presented too many chances, bit lucky Lawler didn't take them.
1-1

Marco misses a blue off the spot. Rod in with a chance now.

Well he opened with a century, so I'm guessing it's just nerves.

Good red from Rod and he clears up to the black to go 2-1 up.

Hats off to Rod, he's playing really well. He's been the form player of those on 0 points too so fair play to him, especially if he beats Fu given how well he's been playing this weekend.

Fu really out of form now. Thought he was going to make a break like he did against Murphy, but misses a black off the spot.

2-2 after a good break from Marco.
Edit: Century as well. One each now.

Lawler starting to go for his shots more. I'd laugh if he lost this final by pushing the boat out too much.
