Match report

Here is Aaron Bower’s report from another memorable night at the Crucible. Long may it reign. Thanks for joining me, and goodnight.

Wilson is the second first-time winner in a row after Luca Brecel’s triumph last year – and he’s up to No 3 in the world rankings, bumping the Belgian down to No 4. There’s also a new world No 1, in the shape of Northern Ireland’s Mark Allen.

Provisional world top 16: 1) Mark Allen, 2) Judd Trump, 3) Kyren Wilson, 4) Luca Brecel, 5) Ronnie O’Sullivan, 6) Mark Selby, 7) Shaun Murphy, 8) Ding Junhui, 9) Mark Williams, 10) Ali Carter, 11) Gary Wilson, 12) Zhang Anda, 13) Tom Ford, 14) Jak Jones, 15) Barry Hawkins, 16) John Higgins.
