World Snooker Championship: Mark Selby and Shaun Murphy to meet in final
The 2005 champion, who trailed 10-4 and 11-6, won all five frames after the match resumed at 12-12 on Saturday evening.Trailing 13-11 overnight, three-time champion Selby made breaks of 125 and 132 to lead 16-14, before Bingham responded with an under-pressure 85, which was the precursor for a pause in play - the first time the final session of a world semi-final had been interrupted.
However, he appeared to be stifled during several prolonged tactical exchanges in a match that featured two double re-racks and saw Selby warned for slow play, even though his average shot time was almost identical to Bingham's. "It's tough to lose a close game like that. Mark deserved the win. He came out firing and I had one of those days."A superb long red kickstarted Selby's revival as he made a break of 68 before a brilliant 125 brought him level.
But towards the conclusion, he proved unable to halt the momentum that propelled Murphy to a fourth Crucible final on Sunday.the sport, Murphy's triumph arrived on an occasion he called the "biggest day" in his snooker life for six years. "It means so much to all of us. It means everything. I don't have a problem with the fist pumps, I think we need that in sport. I don't feel I was disrespectful to Kyren. I was celebrating my shots at my time.
Speaking to BBC Sport, a frustrated Wilson said he found Murphy's demonstrative celebrations "a bit silly" but credited his opponent for a fine display.
