This scoreline really doesn't tell the full story and once again Chris Dobey is on the wrong end of something or another.

Better from Chris Dobey. A 180 gets him a 96 out chance for a break of throw.

After a single 20, he goes for double double again on the 19s, but gets it wrong.

Mistakes like that will punish you in the Premier League. One dart at double 18 puts Voltage 5-2 ahead.

Chris Dobey and Stephen Bunting were the two additions to this year's Premier League and currently find themselves on five-match losing runs in the format.

Hollywood gets down to 65, but singles 11 and 14 missed to a missed dart at double 20.

To break and go 4-2 up, Cross takes out 50 on double 16.

Aesthetically, the pace has given this match a very different vibe to what we saw from Luke Littler and Luke Humphries a moment ago.

In reality, the averages are identical.

Both Rob Cross and Chris Dobey exchange 180s before Cross fires his second attempt into double 18 for a hold of throw.

That is a really good response from Rob Cross. A see-saw battle is developing here.

A 171 from Rob Cross brings him down to a 100 out, putting pressure onto Chris Dobey to take out 124 to hold throw.

Hollywood can't land it, and Cross takes out a century in two darts on treble 20, double 20 to break back.

Chris Dobey has the chance to break on 80 and doesn't opt for the two double 20s route.

Rob Cross was waiting on 36, but Dobey lands his one chance at tops for a break of throw.

A first leg of the night on his throw from Chris Dobey, he takes command of it, helped by some low scoring from Rob Cross.

Dobey misses two at double 16 for a 92 out, but after a 180 from Cross, he comes back to level the match on the eights.

That's the encouragement Chris Dobey needs, having lost his last five Premier League matches. A 180 with his second visit of the match.

At 131, Dobey goes for the risky double 20, double 20 combo after finding treble 17, but ends up with just one treble five and one off the board.

Cross saves the leg in style. On 144, he goes treble 18, treble 18 and double 18. Excellent finishing.

The prospect of Luke Littler in the semi-finals awaits the winner of Rob Cross v Chris Dobey.

Something seems to have agitated Cross on his way to the stage, but he's quick to turn his focus on to the match.

Both men could do with at least two points tonight and a chance to upset Littler later on.

Cross to throw first, game on.

Next up, two men who are looking to break into the top half of the Premier League table as Rob Cross takes on Chris Dobey.

In the previous five weeks, Cross has won three quarter-finals which include a win over world number one Luke Humphries a week ago. However, he is yet to reach a night final this season.

Dobey has taken three points so far this season, all of which came on the opening night five weeks ago and has lost each of his past five Premier League matches.

The two have met once in the Premier League this season, where Dobey was a 6-4 winner over Cross in Belfast's semi-finals.

Chris Dobey talking to Sky Sports: "I will hopefully pick up from the practice in the week. The Pro Tour didn't go to plan but I am just going to use it as practice. It is a big week ahead and hopefully it gets started tonight.

"He is playing some good stuff at the moment so hopefully he can push me and I can get the win."

Rob Cross talking to Sky Sports: "I'd like to think I can perform at the level I showed last week. I am really happy with my game at the moment and I am enjoying it.

"Chris is a great player and we seem to have fantastic games."

Expect this to swing a lot over the next couple of months, but that win for Luke Littler means he will end the night at least level on points with Luke Humphries in the Premier League standings. No player can catch those two this evening.

The scoring slowed a little as it progressed, but both men averaged between 99 and 101. Solid work.

Checkouts of 164 and 110 from Littler and a finishing percentage of 46.2% proved to be the difference.

A brilliant game. There was so little in it.

Luke Humphries needs to win two legs in a row to see off the defending Premier League champion.

Both men get into the high 100s but not on finishes and a 47 from Humphries opens up Littler for a 140.

Humphries can't take 137 and Littler only needs tops.

Too high with the first, bang in the middle of the bed with the second. Littler wins 6-4.

There's a reason that these two are the best in the world.

Best of three from this point, a bad time for Luke Humphries to score a 23 early in the leg.

Luke Littler gets down to a 152 finish first, but with Humphries waiting at 142.

Treble 20, treble 20, 16 from Littler. So close.

Treble 20, treble 20, 11 from Humphries. Almost perfect.

Littler lands double eight for 5-4.

Luke Littler puts the pressure on again. Luke Humphries takes a risk going for an extra treble 20, but it puts him on a bogey number.

In six darts, Littler takes out from 344. 180 and then a 164.

Humphries just smiles. Superb.

In matches like this, results are more important than style sometimes.

Luke Humphries shows exactly that, squirming a dart into the double four bed for a break of throw.
