You always have to admire someone when they produce with their back to the wall. We've got in the final two of the toughest nuts to crack. They never give up.

Kyren Wilson speaking on BBC Two: "Wu Yize is going to be around for many years to come. I just wasn't at the races at all today and I don't know where I found those last two frames. Wu let me off the hook a little bit. The same as Neil Robertson - it looked like it was going to be all over and I was going out.

"Sometimes the snooker gods are on your side and you just have to make the most of it. It's an awesome achievement in itself to make back-to-back finals but that's not what I'm in the game for. I don't want to leave it there. I think I put myself under too much pressure because I am desperate to play John Higgins in the final. An all-time legend. That's something I'll savour."

Kyren Wilson punches the air and why not,. A brilliant performance from 5-4 down. Well played, Kyren.

Wu 5-6 Wilson

A century break from Kyren Wilson and he reaches the final of the Masters in style. A gutsy and determined display from the Englishman.

The Ally Pally given him a standing ovation.

Kyren Wilson is initially unable to break up the pack but bravely ventures back up the table to open them up before swinging back down the table.

His break is now 70 after sinking a black and he's on the brink of a place in tomorrow's final. Wu Yize needs snookers.

This has been a nice little visit from Kyren Wilson.

Kyren Wilson is at the table and navigating some tricky positions. He has a break of 34 but is now back down near the black.

Wu Yize is sat in his chair with his arms folded.

Wonder if John Higgins has been out to another show with his wife Denise, or whether he is watching this from his hotel room?

In fairness the Scot, may even be tucked up in bed by now.

Kyren Wilson deserves everything he gets because that is warrior potential. You don't become world champion without a big heart and he showed it there. He'll know the significance of how the other guy feels. To strike the ball with such authority shows he's capable.

Kyren Wilson take a bow! A brilliant clearance under pressure from the Englishman.

The second semi-final at the Ally Pally also goes to an 11th-frame decider.

Are the nerves getting to Wu Yize with the finish line in sight? He blunders on a simple red to after a break of 39. He has 44-11 advantage over Kyren Wilson but the balls are handily placed on the table.

Another nerve-shredding semi-final at the Ally Pally..

Ken Doherty
1997 world champion on BBC Two

Kyren Wilson got himself going again on the black against Neil Robertson in the quarter-final and he has to go the well again. He has to be careful of leaving even a half a long pot on.

Although Wu Yize didn't win the frame in one visit you can see he's now in rhythm. If he keeps that up he can force his way into the final. Kyren Wilson has to be careful as he's on the edge now.

The crowd are getting behind Wu and Kyren has a job to do now.
