Jak Jones is into the World Snooker Championship final after a shock 17-12 win over Stuart Bingham at the Crucible.

The qualifier continues his incredible run in Sheffield, which has seen him down Zhang Anda, Si Jiahui, Judd Trump and now the 2015 world champion.

Waiting for him in the final is Kyren Wilson after the Warrior beat Dave Gilbert 17-11 earlier on Saturday.

Of the Welshman’s performance, Stephen Hendry told the BBC: ‘Very, very impressive. He does nothing unbelievably well, but everything well. He’s been so effective the whole championship. Very impressive.’

Jones added: ‘When I think of watching the World final every year, thinking it’s a dream and what an unbelievable occasion it is it doesn’t feel real that I’m in that World final. I couldn’t be any happier.

‘I don’t think I am playing well, I’m just winning. I’m not doing anything exceptional, I don’t think. I’m not scoring heavy, I’m not doing anything special.’
