Your pocket is marked by the white coin
Chipping off the 5 is all i see.Mark, I have studied your predicament. The only thing I can see to do, and what I would try, is to thin the 5 ball and try to leave whitey on the end rail.
Live to see another shot. Does anyone see an offensive shot here ?
You are down 5 - 2. You are not out of the game. Let your opponent make the first mistake.

I like 3 railing the 13 . Hit the 2nd rail just to the left of the top right corner pocket and sending the 13 towards your pocket. High english on the cue ball following the 13 to the top rail by the 9. This shot accomplishes 3 things for you:Hi Robert....it's risky thinning the 11 with the scratch in the side looming, and just about no gain with the shot anyway...
A better and safer way of utilizing the 5ball is this...
Shoot the 5 almost dead straight ahead, but cutting it a hair to the right, and follow down to the head rail - and this angle might even leave him jacked up on top of the 9...and the speed for that hit, will coincide with the 5 coming back 3 rails and ending up in the the shooters pocket area, between the 7 and the 13...most players don't see variations of this useful shot when they're an option.

There is one offensive shot. 5 ball off the 9, 5 goes two rails and 9 goes one rail towards your hole. Follow the cue ball two rails to the head rail and hope it doesn’t kiss the 5.

Looks to me like that dark ball (7 or 8) closest to you banks back to your hole. These type of banks reverse somewhat off the top rail, there is plenty of room to get by the 13 ball. CB goes up table and you can do some damage from there, maybe. Should you miss the bank you can stil put him in some trouble.
If I go up-table with Jojo the 13 will be gone before I get back. So, I will bank the 7 to around the side pocket and send Jojo to the long rail where the 5 ball will protect the 13. The 5 won't bank.
