Dobey 1-1 Bunting
Chris Dobey levels it up.
Despite two missed darts at double 16, it's still a fairly comfortable hold.
Stephen Bunting did have a look at the big fish but never threatened to reel it in.
Dobey 0-1 Bunting
Strong start from Stephen Bunting.
A 140 on his first visit and he goes on to hold with a 13-darter.
Tops to clinch it.
Dobey 0-0 Bunting
Chris Dobey beat world number one Luke Humphries and then Nathan Aspinall to reach his second final of the Premier League season.
It's also Stephen Bunting's second final of the year - he got past home favourite Michael van Gerwen and world champion Luke Littler to get here.
The Bullet will throw first, knowing a win lifts him off the foot of the table...

Stephen Bunting has been pushed before but tonight he is getting over the line. He is maintaining his level and is taking his chances when they come to him.
He deserves to be in the final.

The Premier League's bottom two they may be but Chris Dobey and Stephen Bunting are still top class players and have shown as much tonight.
Who are you backing to get the win in Rotterdam? Thumbs up for Dobey, thumbs down for Bunting...
Image source, WDFA14-year-old darts player has been tipped for the top after beating World Champion Luke Littler's record by becoming the youngest ever winner of a World Darts Federation (WDF) event.
Kaya Baysal, from Burnley, who has been playing seriously for less than 18 months, lifted the 2025 Budapest Classic Men's at the weekend.
The WDF said he was 13 days younger than Littler was when he secured the 2021 Irish Open win.
Kaya's coach and manager Keith Brunt said there was nothing stopping him from following in the footsteps of Littler, who became the youngest world darts champion in January at the age of 18.
"He has a lot of work to do but who knows," said Brunt.

Stepen Bunting could be a winner any week now. He didn't have the belief but now he has.
Luke Littler changed his darts, he changed his throw - it was not the norm. What can happen is you are betwixt and between and you don't know what you are doing.
Result: Bunting 6-5 Littler
Another very high quality match!
Stephen Bunting was a deserving winner as he averaged 106.43 and hit 50% on the outer ring.
But then Luke Littler pushed him all the way after falling 5-2 behind. He end with an average of 101.39, five 180s and 41.7% on the doubles.
In fact, both players had 12 darts at double - had Littler hit that double nine, it would be him at 50% and through to the final.

What a performance from Bunting!
Bunting 6-5 Littler
Luke Littler misses double nine for a 138 to win the match - and Stephen Bunting holds his nerve!
Double eight to win it for The Bullet!
The pressure was really on after Littler had come from a way back in the leg thanks to a 180. But Bunting was not going to be denied.
Brilliant effort from the world champion from 5-2 down but, this time, he gave himself a little too much to do.

We are going all the way!
Bunting 5-5 Littler
Luke Littler and Stephen Bunting go dart for dart in the leg.
The Bullet leaves tops for the match but never gets a look at it as Littler hits double 18 to make it 5-5.
Bunting has the darts for the decider but who would bet against Littler completing the comeback?!
Bunting 5-4 Littler

Littler has flicked the switch here! He had looked disinterested at times in the match.
Now we are back on throw. He has recovered from 5-1 down to win already and he is looking to get out of jail.
Bunting 5-4 Littler
Here comes Luke Littler...
Seven perfect darts to start the leg but even though the nine-darter goes begging, he comes through to win it in 12.
In a flash, we're back on throw.
Image source, Getty ImagesBunting 5-3 Littler
Luke Littler is shrugging his shoulders, acting as if everything is under control as he hits back-to-back 180s.
Double 10 clinches a 12-darter of his own to claw a leg back.
Bunting 5-2 Littler
Stephen Bunting is one leg away from the final!
It's superbly consistent stuff from the Liverpudlian, hammering away 140 after 140 before hitting double 12 for a 12-darter.
Luke Littler needs to win the next four legs on the spin...
Bunting 4-2 Littler
Mark Webster
Former BDO world champion on Sky Sports
Bunting has this match in the palm of his hand, the scoreline doesn't flatter him. He is averaging 12 more than Littler but he has to hammer home that advantage.
