Dobey 2-0 Aspinall
The 180s are flowing for Chris Dobey - he's got three in the first two legs!
Nathan Aspinall should still take this leg but three misses at double prove costly.
Dobey comes back in to hit double eight for the break as a irritated Aspinall raises his eyebrows.
Dobey 1-0 Aspinall
Six perfect darts to start the match from Chris Dobey to raise hopes of a nine-darter among the crowd.
That's not to be but he wins the leg in 12 on double top.
Very good start for Dobey.

He has said on social media: "This week was pointless and we move onto next week. The darts were blowing everywhere.
"Hopefully we will stop coming here and look for alternative venues.
"If you think it's the same for both players you are as daft as you look."
Semi-finalist Chris Dobey on Sky Sports: "I felt great up there, there is a draft but it affected Luke Humphries more than me. I had to pounce on that and punish him.
"It's all about hitting the doubles and who knows what can happen now?"

Nathan Aspinall is in a real spell after winning in Manchester, that would have meant so much. He is not at the forefront of our minds but he's in the mix for the top four well and truly now.
There's no time to waste, it's almost time for the first of those semi-finals.
This is how the last four looks then...

It was brutal for Rob Cross, he had just missed a match dart and Luke hits 145, it's a bodyblow. That's the class of Luke Littler.
He has been below par for a few weeks but that was a huge shot. It was a proper game, he was being pushed all the way.
What a brilliant quarter-final.
Four thoroughly entertaining quarter-final ties so far tonight in Rotterdam...
Result: Littler 6-5 Cross

Rob Cross did everything but win that game! What a performance but Littler takes out 145.
Result: Littler 6-5 Cross
Spare a thought for Rob Cross.
He averaged 110.15, hit four 180s and was a respectable 41.7% on the outer ring - and lost.
Luke Littler also hit four 180s, averaged 108.56 and, crucially, was an impressive 66.7% on the doubles.
Impressive numbers all round and a game that neither player really deserved to lose.
Result: Littler 6-5 Cross

That is incredible. That is how you take out 145. Luke Littler seems to have Rob Cross' number.
Littler 6-5 Cross
Stunning!
Simply brilliant from Luke Littler. After Rob Cross misses double 18 for a 150 out to win, leaving double 16, the world champ takes out 145.
Big finish, under pressure... no bother for the 18-year-old.
What a match!
Littler 5-5 Cross

What a leg of darts from Rob Cross!
Littler 5-5 Cross
We're going to get the finish this match deserves!
Luke Littler misses a dart for the match and Rob Cross nips it, takes out 76 and we've got a one-leg shootout coming up...
Cross has the darts.
Littler 5-4 Cross
Rob Cross keeps the match going with a very impressive hold.
An 11-darter.
The fact Cross could well lose this match says so much about the quality of Luke Littler.
99 times out of 100, this performance would have led to a comfortable Cross victory.
Littler 5-3 Cross

Is that a board management error from Roberto Cross? That is really the first mistake that has been punished in this match.
Littler 5-3 Cross
Luke Littler is a leg away from victory but only after Rob Cross misses two darts to break back.
He drags the double top low then misses double 10.
Littler punishes the error, hitting double 16 to go two legs clear.
Dutch. Darts. Drinks.
What a combo.
Thumbs up if you think we should do our live text next year FROM Rotterdam...

Both players are averaging over 110 but Luke Littler has turned up the heat in the past couple of legs.
He earns the first break of the match in style - a 122 checkout for a 12-darter.
This is just brilliant darts.
