Live coverage from the Crucible as this year's final reaches its climax, with a maximum of 11 frames to be played to decide the first champion of the new millennium. The winner will collect not only the famous trophy but also a record prize of £240,000 - a far cry from the original World Professional Snooker championship in 1927, when Joe Davis's reward for winning was a princely £6.50.

In the closing stages last year, Scot Stephen Hendry forged ahead of Welshman Mark Williams to triumph 18-11. That gave Hendry seven titles, a modern-day record that surpassed the six claimed by Ray Reardon and Steve Davis. But this year Hendry went out in the first round, beaten 10-7 in a phenomenal act of giant-killing by world number 92 Stuart Bingham.

Introduced by David Vine, with match commentary from the team of Ray Edmonds, Clive Everton, John Parrott, Dennis Taylor, Willie Thorne and John Virgo.
