There's a delay mid-leg as Luke Littler changes his darts.

It doesn't work for him this time, though, as Stephen Bunting finds a 180 then finishes the leg with a two-dart 84 checkout.

The Bullet has the break. Can Littler respond?

Bunting has often got wrapped up in the whole atmosphere of the Premier League, this is only his second season despite all of his experience. But he is more focused now.

Stephen Bunting is just inside on the double 11 for a 124 out.

But he is back for another visit and cleans up to edge ahead.

We're still waiting for Luke Littler to really show what he can do. As it is, he's leaving the door open for Bunting.

Littler is not at his best, far from it. Bunting has had no answer when they have met before but this is an opportunity for him.

That's more like what Stephen Bunting needs to do!

A 138 set-up to leave double four and even that isn't enough as Luke Littler threatens to take out 156.

Not quite, though, and The Bullet breaks back with a 13-darter.

It's Luke Littler with the break opportunity this time - and he doesn't miss out.

His favoured double 10 is found and the world number two has the early advantage.

He's not been at his best but Stephen Bunting hasn't seized his chance.

The break chance goes begging for Stephen Bunting.

He misses a dart at double top then double 10 and Luke Littler isn't going to let him have another.

The Dutch crowd are absolutely loving this.

After a slow start, Stephen Bunting clicks into gear with a maximum.

He misses a couple of doubles but hits double 16 eventually to hold.

He needed that. You can't give Luke Littler the advantage so early, especially given how he played earlier on.

The crowd in Rotterdam were in fine voice for both walk-ons.

We're ready to go. Stephen Bunting will throw first...

Luke Littler has made more than his fair share of darts history in his short career, and there is another record up for grabs tonight.

The 18-year-old has four night wins so far - no player has ever achieved five in the current format.

He, Luke Humphries and Michael van Gerwen all won four nights in 2024, while Gerwyn Price, Michael Smith and Jonny Clayton have also achieved the feat since this format was introduced in 2022.

Semi-finalist Stephen Bunting on beating Michael van Gerwen on home soil: "When you are playing in Holland against one of the biggest names in darts you know it's going to be hard. I didn't expect the crowd to be that loud!

"I'm not used to that booing and jeering but I got over the line and hopefully they cheer for me now."

It's time for tonight's second semi-final...

Perhaps the injury did catch up with Nathan Aspinall in the end, he was well beaten in that semi-final.

Chris Dobey played very well, averaging 100.67 with six 180s, while also making 66.7% of his darts at double - that was always going to be hard to beat.

By comparison, The Asp was down at 90.03 with four 180s and hit just two of 16 darts at double (12.5%).

Chris Dobey is through to his first final since night one!

He is somewhat gifted it in this leg a Nathan Aspinall misses countless darts at double.

Dobey eventually gets himself down to a finish and wins it on double 10.

Chris Dobey is on the brink of victory now!

Nathan Aspinall misses two darts at double 16 to get the break back and Dobey nails the 127 out.

Finishes on the bullseye and Hollywood is just a leg from the final.

Not the prettiest of legs but Chris Dobey's fifth 180 of the match proves decisive.

That takes him down to 51 with Nathan Aspinall not even on a finish.

Dobey comes back and takes it out with a double 16. A 14-darter.

From 3-0 down and struggling with an injury, Nathan Aspinall is fighting back!

After starting the leg with two 140s, he misses double 11 for a 124 out but gets it on his next visit.

We're back on throw.

Nathan Aspinall was so impressive in his quarter-final win but his shoulder does seem to be bothering him now.

That doesn't mean he's just going to give this one up, though.

He has to go all the way down to double one but he finds it to get himself on the board.

Chris Dobey is halfway to the final.

No 180s in this leg but he still gets some distance between himself and Nathan Aspinall before taking out 104 for a three-leg lead.
