Something else I've noticed about this year's tournament is the shoddy camera directing.

Numerous unnecessary replays, wrong camera angles selected when it's clear the player is going for a different pocket, and perhaps most annoyingly, choosing angles where it's obvious that the player is going to move into the camera view to go to their next shot, meaning you miss seeing if the ball actually goes in. It's practically ITV standard.

Maybe they're trying to jazz it up a bit.

How lucky in Bingham getting currently? I want Trump to win obviously but it's getting a bit silly in this match so far.

I think the replays are definitely a case of trying to jazz it up. It's just annoying.

I want Trump to win too, but I don't mind Bingham.

He's certainly playing well.

I haven't really noticed any annoying stuff to be honest. Mind you i'm so knackered from over doing it at work I'm nodding off most of the time. I had to turn off on the deciding frame last night with Robertson and Dawkins as i was passing out.

Trump's been making a lot of careless errors, and Bingham's been marginally more consistent. Either way the length of this match is playing into Murphy's hands.

Respect to Bingham. Great century there. If Trump can't get his shit together really hope Murphy chokes in the final.

Great come back. This is awesome stuff.

My money is on Bingham in this decider. I want Trump to win, but he seems too nervous.

Just seen Bingham's interview. Always had a bit of a soft spot for the guy but I definitely want him to win now. Such a down to earth bloke.

Unfortunately the giant baby will probably win instead.

Shaun Murphy's forehead is a thing of wonder.

Just realised who he reminds me of...

So unlucky, Bingham. Really thought he'd get a maximum. If that last red had just moved half an inch higher...

The 147 attempt was about as unlucky as you could get.

12-9 in front now though, has all the momentum. Murphy has to respond quickly.

Tremendous snooking from both at the moment.

Reckon this could be 18-17. No idea to who though.

Think swellhead is gonna win this.

He really should wear a tiny bowler hat.

I think you're right though. Definitely hoping for a Bingham victory but he looks like he's letting his nerves get to him. Wouldn't rule out the issue of fatigue after his match against Trump as well.

I reckon whoever wins the next frame will win the tournament.
