The players were tied at 4-4 after an incredible first session featuring four centuries and three further breaks of 50 or more.
Higgins started the second session with a ton, but Trump won eight frames in a row, helped by two more century breaks.
Masters champion Trump, who lost to Higgins in the 2011 Crucible final, is looking to win the world title for the first time and complete the Triple Crown of winning all of snooker's top three events, having won the UK Championship in 2011.
Higgins is aiming to match Ronnie O'Sullivan by claiming a fifth title but will need to produce a stunning comeback to halt Trump.
The final session will begin at 7pm, with the winner collecting the trophy and a record £500,000 in prize money.
