Aspinall 3-5 Littler
Better from The Asp to reduce the deficit against good friend Littler.
Double 16 is his friend on this occasion, ending a 52 checkout there.
A break of throw from Aspinall is only the start of what Aspinall needs.
Aspinall 2-5 Littler

Luke Littler is again showing that innate talent that he was born with. He's been playing darts for 15 years. He's not new to the game or doing things like this.
Aspinall 2-5 Littler
Image source, PA MediaWow, where did that come from?
Littler goes 5-2 up with a 136 checkout to break throw, his second finish of over 130 in this match.
Littler finished that leg by going treble 20, treble 12, tops.
A big roar from Littler and a smile of appreciation from Aspinall.
Littler is one leg away.
Aspinall 2-4 Littler

That is the freedom we all speak about. It's not the greatest way, it's the smallest target on the board, but he wants to go that way. I'm starting to change my tune about the way players go, rather than berate them, it is their choice. They can do what they like, but some are wrong.
Aspinall 2-4 Littler
Luke Littler has not looked at his best for almost all of this evening's action and it is creating opportunities for Aspinall.
The Asp has a chance on 170 to break Littler. He hits 20, treble 19, treble 19.
Littler is left on 90 and checks it out in an entertaining, yet unusual way.
The Nuke goes bull, 20, double 10, to go 4-2 up!
Aspinall 2-3 Littler
Not the best of legs from Littler but on his throw, Aspinall makes no mistake this time.
He leaves himself three darts to finish on double eight, landing it where he wants on the second attempt to half Littler's lead.
Aspinall 1-3 Littler
The Asp will know it should be 2-2.
He gets two darts to finish off an 87 checkout, but misses both darts at double 18 by a fraction.
Littler had left himself 40 and takes it out on tops upon his return to go 3-1 up.
Aspinall 1-2 Littler

Up until then this match had been really poor, but they are turn it round and do amazing things. They are amazing players.
Aspinall 1-2 Littler
Whenever Littler looks a bit off, he does something incredible to make you think.
He breaks throw with a 12-dart leg in the third leg with a 131 checkout.
Littler does so going treble 17, tops, tops. Sensational break from The Nuke.
Aspinall 1-1 Littler

Luke Littler can throw too quickly when he's switching round the board. He's got to sort that out.
He's got it won and got it done, though.
Aspinall 1-1 Littler
Sharper and more threatening darts in the second leg from Littler, including a first maximum of this match.
He misses a dart to checkout 43 on double 10.
He then has a chance to take out 10, but lands low on double five.
Littler makes it trickier than needed with very fast darts, but does win the leg with a five checkout on double two.
Aspinall 1-0 Littler
Neither of these local heroes are able to find the best of starts in this opening leg.
Aspinall is the more consistent of the two and is able to get to a finish with darts to spare on The Nuke.
The Asp misses one dart at tops to checkout 64 but gets another go at it.
Aspinall takes the first leg with a 40 finish, going low on tops but landing his second dart in double 10.
Aspinall 0-0 Littler
It's Stockport's Nathan Aspinall against Warrington's Luke Littler inside Manchester's AO Arena first in the semi-finals.
A very local feel to this semi-final and you would feel that whoever wins this will be the crowd's favourite in the final.
Another well-received entrance for Aspinall and he and Littler even dance and sing along to it together before shaking hands.
Sensational effort from the crowd signing Mr Brightside on their own before the warm-ups
It is a repeat of last week's final in Belfast.
Aspinall to throw first, game on!

Nathan Aspinall looks too strong for me so I suspect he'll win this first semi-final.
Gerwyn Price looked really strong then so I expect him to have too much for Michael Smith unless he has a slow start.
Image source, PA MediaOur first semi-final of the night sees Luke Littler face Nathan Aspinall.
Two north west lads going up against each other in Manchester? Is it going to be split loyalties for the crowd?
The pair are good friends and have faced each other four times so far in 2024, including in last week's final in Beflast.
Littler won that and leads 3-1 in those games.

That was comfortably the best quarter-finals when on paper, it should have been the worst.
Price ended on an average of 107.88, just under Wright's 109.52.
Wright even took out all four of his double attempts, but Price got eight of them, taking six, and winning the match as a result.
Clinical from both and Price's semi-final match with Michael Smith should be a cracker.

That was an astonishing game.
Peter Wright has just lost with an average nearing 110 and having not missed a dart at double.
It was a stunning performance from Gerwyn Price.
Result: Price 6-4 Wright
Price misses a match dart to take out 60 at tops, but with his final dart, finishes off on double 10.
A truly superb match that showed how much talent is in this Premier League.
Both men were excellent, but it is Gerwyn Price who will face Michael Smith in the semi-finals.
Price 5-4 Wright

It has been outer-ring perfection.
