Van Gerwen 3-1 Dolan (3-0)
Brilliant. Eight legs in a row for Michael van Gerwen and he's won the fourth set in next to no time.
The most clinical of holds: 140, 180, 105 followed by a 76 out.
No chance for Brendan Dolan when the Dutchman is playing like this. No shame in that; very, very few can live with him in this form.
Van Gerwen 2-1 Dolan (2-0)
Costly misses from Brendan Dolan allow Michael van Gerwen to assume control of this set.
A fantastic 174 set up from MVG left him needing 16, making it essential Dolan hit the double 19 he required.
No luck with three darts for the Northern Irishman and Van Gerwen makes him pay.

VoiceOfTheMysterons: I know that players *say* they only look at one match at a time, but if Michael van Gerwen doesn't at least *make* the final from here, he'll be kicking himself a *lot* harder than usual...
Van Gerwen 2-1 Dolan (1-0)
This what Michael van Gerwen can do!
He is feeling it.
Well ahead already with the darts and the Dutchman turns on the style, taking out 149 as it were nothing.
Treble 20, treble 19, double 16. Simple (for some)...
Van Gerwen 2-1 Dolan

If Michael van Gerwen can rattle through set four he will feel like the job is almost done. That third set was much more like it. That is how he wants to perform.
Van Gerwen 2-1 Dolan (3-0)
Two darts for the set go begging for Michael van Gerwen, handing Brendan Dolan a chance to rescue the hold.
However, he misses all three at double 10 and Mighty Mike isn't going to give him another chance.
The Dutchman hits double three to wrap up a set in which he dominated.
Van Gerwen 1-1 Dolan (2-0)
Michael van Gerwen holds but only after being given a brief scare by Brendan Dolan.
The Northern Irishman narrowly misses for a 112 out and MVG hits double eight to take real control of the set.
Van Gerwen 1-1 Dolan (1-0)
Superb from Michael van Gerwen, he's starting to get himself going now!
Another 180 on his way to an 11-dart break of throw, sealed with a 90 checkout.
Van Gerwen 1-1 Dolan
Brendan Dolan is averaging 100.16 and has hit four of his five darts on the outer ring.
Yet he finds himself at 1-1 after two sets. That's what Michael van Gerwen can do. He turns it on when he really has to.

That was vintage Michael van Gerwen. He has a business-like air about him now.

The Northern Irishman still has control of the leg. That is until Mighty Mike turns it on.
Needing 129, he goes treble 19, treble 16, double 12 in a flash. Boom.
Van Gerwen celebrates heartily and they're all square.

There was some relief in that celebration from Michael van Gerwen.
Van Gerwen 0-1 Dolan (2-1)
It's Michael van Gerwen's turn for a straightforward hold. Or it should have been...
He's down to 60 with Brendan Dolan still in the 300s but proceeds to make very hard work of it.
After missing seven darts at double, MVG finally hits double five to go 2-1 up in this second set.
Van Gerwen 0-1 Dolan (1-1)
Image source, Getty ImagesAbout as comfortable a hold as Brendan Dolan is likely to get in this match.
He nails the double 12 to secure a 14-darter with Michael van Gerwen lagging well behind.
Van Gerwen 0-1 Dolan (1-0)
Another double-double!
After Josh Rock and Chris Dobey in the last match, it's Michael van Gerwen's turn.
The Dutchman had to take out 92 with Brendan Dolan waiting on 40 and does so in style.
Single 20 followed by a pair of double 18. Class.
Here's a question a few of you have asked, so we consulted the official rules.
Standard height from the floor to the bullseye on the dartboard is 5 feet 8 inches (1.72 metres), while the oche (distance between the front of the board and the toeline) should measure 7ft 9.25 ins.
That's a fair old way when you're under pressure.

Brendan Dolan has been the better player so far.
Van Gerwen 0-1 Dolan (2-3)
Brendan Dolan takes the first set having been a break down!
A 140 gives him just the start to the leg he needs and Michael van Gerwen is unable to respond.
Clinical stuff from Dolan to finish it, hitting tops at the first attempt for a 72 checkout.
Van Gerwen 0-0 Dolan (2-2)

Brendan Dolan does the basics really well. He can now go and be aggressive to win the opening set.
Van Gerwen 0-0 Dolan (2-2)
Bullseye!
Brendan Dolan keeps the set alive with a superb break of throw.
After MVG fails to give himself a dart at double from 117, Dolan makes no mistake in taking out 86.
He is also unable to find a treble but the bull will do and the bull is what he gets.
