Wattimena 0-2 Wright (1-2)
Peter Wright is finishing brilliantly at the moment.
With Jermaine Wattimena waiting on a very makeable finish, Wright needs only one dart for double 16 to hold.
One more hold and he'll be 3-0 up.
Wattimena 0-2 Wright (1-1)
Jermaine Wattimena holds - but only after Peter Wright narrowly misses tops for a 154 finish!
Excellent scoring again from the Dutchman and another superb set up but even with all that, Wright was able to put the pressure on.
No mistake on double 14 from Wattimena though.

Jermaine Wattimena is looking at the scorecard like 'what is going on? This is not in the script'.
Wattimena 0-2 Wright (0-1)
Sensational from Peter Wright!
Jermaine Wattimena had moved into position to break with a brilliant 177 set up.
However, Wright doesn't give him another visit, hitting tops to complete a 117 checkout.

Wattimena 0-2 Wright
Who saw this coming?
A two-time world champion has obviously got immense quality but such form has eluded Peter Wright for quite some time.
He's struggling with a chest infection but he is playing superbly and leads 2-0.
Wattimena 0-2 Wright (0-3)
Jermaine Wattimena fails to put the leg away despite having EIGHT darts at double.
Peter Wright misses three of his own to wrap up the set but hits double eight eventually and the former world champion is two sets to the good.
Wattimena 0-1 Wright (0-2)

It will be the energy levels for Peter Wright later. He isn't the biggest practicer before the game though.
This is stunning so far, though.

If anything this illness is helping Peter Wright, it is ridiculous.
This is the Peter Wright of old. The two-time champion has arrived at Ally Pally.
Wattimena 0-1 Wright (0-2)
Sensational stuff from both players!
Peter Wright follows up a 180 with a 171 so despite back-to-back 180s from Jermaine Wattimena, it's Snakebite in control of the leg.
Double eight is found first time and that's a 10-darter for Wright!
Wattimena 0-1 Wright (0-1)
A fourth 180 of the match already for Peter Wright and earns the chance to break.
A dart at tops goes awry for a 119 out but he gets back and hits double 10 at the second attempt.
Jermaine Wattimena was well fancied for his match but he's a set and a break down.
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.

Peter Wright doesn't feel his best but he's letting his darts do the talking at the moment.
Wattimena 0-1 Wright (1-3)
Peter Wright coughs and shakes his head but it's going his way so far.
After being broken in the first leg, he wins three on the spin to win the first set.
Jermaine Wattimena misses tops to make it 2-2 and Wright takes out 88.
That chest infection isn't harming Snakebite's arrows so far.

Wattimena 0-0 Wright (1-2)
With Jermaine Wattimena threatening again, Peter Wright hits a timely 180.
Wattimena leaves himself tops but doesn't get a dart at it as Snakebite comes back and gets double 10 to lead for the first time.
Wattimena 0-0 Wright (1-1)
Superb response from Peter Wright.
He hits back with a 12-dart break, finishing on tops.

Image source, Getty ImagesJermaine Wattimena is playing the best darts of his life at the moment. He's been working really hard.
His policy would have been to break Peter Wright early and that is exactly what he's done.
Wattimena 0-0 Wright (1-0)
Brilliant set up from Jermaine Wattimena and he gets the early break.
It's a wonderful 150 - two treble 20s and a treble 10 - to leave 32.
He misses double 16 on the inside but gets double eight.
Not the start Peter Wright was after.
Wattimena 0-0 Wright
Peter Wright, sporting a blue-purple mohawk tonight, is a two-time world champion.
He's ill and his form could best be described as patchy if you were being generous.
As such, Jermaine Wattimena might actually be favourite going into this one.
It's 'Snakebite' Wright to throw first...
