Snooker scores LIVE: Mark Selby leads Judd Trump in UK Championship final | Other | Sport

It’ll be a long day if there’s more frames as drawn out as that opener! Thankfully this second one was a bit shorter…

After Trump messes up a safety shot, Selby manages another excellent plant with a thumping long red. But a miscued cannon means his break stops at 12. 

Trump gets on the board and sinks a sensational pink into the middle pocket. That precedes a break of 41 but a wild red leaves the table open for Selby. 

He takes advantage by clearing the remaining reds but fails to leave himself on the yellow after building a 22-point lead with 27 still to play for.

Yet a Trump double kiss on the yellow leaves an easy pot and Selby clears the table. 2-0.
