Rob Cross is going to finish sixth in the Premier League but he has not played poorly at all. He's in a position to win anything at the moment, but it won't be this!

Brilliant from Rob Cross - it's yet another ruthless finish!

The 2018 world champion is now two legs from victory after taking out 104.

Michael van Gerwen was waiting to pounce but the Dutchman has still only been allowed three darts at double.

Forget holding on, Rob Cross takes control of this match!

Michael van Gerwen isn't quite as hot as he had been in previous legs and Cross nips in.

More clinical finishing from Voltage to open up a two-leg lead.

Rob Cross is managing to hold off Michael van Gerwen for now.

The Dutchman is averaging 120 but Cross is clinical in his finishing, taking out 86 in two darts.

If MVG's scoring stays at this level though, it will be incredibly tough to keep him at bay for much longer.

Excellent from Michael van Gerwen.

It's another fantastic scoring leg from the Dutchman and this time he adds the finish.

One dart at double 16 is all he needs to level this one up.

Michael van Gerwen seems to be trying out some new darts, a different model.

They do well for him, right up until he gets down to the doubles. But he misses tops then double 10 and is made to pay.

Rob Cross misses his favoured double 18 but recovers to hit double nine.

Rob Cross is playing magnificent darts at the moment. He is looking rock solid.

The players are both on stage, throwing a few practice darts.

Victory for Michael van Gerwen would guarantee him a third-place finish and a semi-final against Luke Humphries in the play-offs next week.

Michael van Gerwen talking to Sky Sports: "It doesn't matter as long as you qualify. Of course you want to be top of the table but that isn't possible so you just want to qualify and you can say 'mission accomplished' and it is as simple as that.

"You just want to play as comfortable as possible. I might try some new things tonight so you never know. There isn't really a lot at stake but I still want to win the night, it is as simple as that.

"There have been a lot of ups and downs but that is my story at the moment, we've seen it on the European Tour as well. You need to work on your own game and you can only do that yourself."

Michael van Gerwen won't be dismissive of his game tonight but the bigger picture is next week and being in the play-offs. That is where he's come alive in the past couple of years.

Rob Cross fought back to beat world number one Luke Humphries 8-6 to land the Baltic Sea Darts Open in Kiel, Germany on Sunday.

A stunning nine-dart finish from Humphries had seen him move into a 5-3 lead but Cross rallied, taking five of the next six legs to win his second PDC European Tour title.

It means Humphries finishes as runner-up at the event for the second year running.

The last quarter-final of the evening - and of this Premier League season, sees Michael van Gerwen up against Rob Cross.

Mighty Mike lost last week's final to Luke Humphries but did enough to book his place at finals night.

He is eyeing a record-extending eighth Premier League crown and the fact he has four nightly wins this year without ever quite being at his best, shows how dangerous he is.

Meanwhile, Rob Cross' return to form has come to late for him to make the top four.

He reached successive finals, in weeks 13 and 14, but lost to Luke Littler each time but being thumped 6-1 by Luke Humphries in the quarters last week.

However, he got his revenge on Humphries in Baltic Sea Darts Open and will want to continue his fine form before bowing out of his year's Premier League.

It felt like that swung from the sublime to the ridiculous - I'm thinking about that sixth leg in particular - for Luke Humphries.

He ends with a 93.83 average, two 180s but just a 28.6% checkout percentage after hitting only six of 21 on the outer ring.

Meanwhile, Gerwyn Price's Premier League campaign ends in defeat after averaging 91.19 with three maximums and 36.4% on the doubles.

Luke Humphries is through to another semi-final!

The world champion so nearly did it with a 170 out but he couldn't quite reel in the big fish.

In the end he needs four more darts to finish the job but finish it he does.

He remains in with a shot of a record fifth nightly win.

It is easy to forget it is Luke Humphries' Premier League debut because of the six months he has had. He has been outstanding.

Luke Humphries not as clinical as he'd like on the outer ring and it gives Gerwyn Price a chance.

However, the Welshman can't capitalise as he misses double 18 then double nine.

Humphries returns to hit tops and is now a leg from the last four.

We're all square again.

An off leg for Luke Humphries and Gerwyn Price takes advantage for a very comfortable hold.

He hits double 12 at the second attempt to level it a four legs apiece.

Luke Humphries has fought back and now he leads!

After the debacle on the doubles in the previous leg, there is no messing this time around.

A superb 138 set-up leaves him tops. One dart is all he needs and he's now two legs from the semi-finals.

Luke Humphries does break back but only after giving Gerwyn Price an excellent chance to steal the hold!

It comes down to double one but, with his eighth dart at double in the leg, he hits it to level it up.

He'll be relieved about that.

This is brilliant stuff.
