Dobey 0-1 Van Gerwen
A couple of early big visits from Michael van Gerwen buy him six darts to break Chris Dobey's throw from 170.
The first three find 58 and needing 112, the Dutchman takes the lot.
Treble 18, 18 and double 20 lead to a huge roar.

Chris Dobey will be a lot more relaxed in this game having picked up a couple of points and he'll be very aware of Michael van Gerwen's fragilities in the semi-finals this year.
Dobey 0-0 Van Gerwen
Cardiff was on course to be a contender for crowd of the season so far.
Gerwyn Price's quarter-final defeat seems to have vacuumed a large amount of the crowd noise out of the Utilita Arena.
Let's hope this match can spark them back into good spirits.
Dobey to throw first, game on!

It’s a great chance for both Chris Dobey and Rob Cross to take down two of the top four and close the gap. But both will need to raise their level.
Dobey v Van Gerwen
Chris Dobey takes on Michael van Gerwen next in what will be the second meeting between the two this season.
The first came on night three in Dublin when Van Gerwen won 6-4 in the quarter-finals.
Van Gerwen has played in five semi-finals in the Premier League this year and lost all of them.
Dobey has played in one, but was victorious against Rob Cross.

If you look at how Chris Dobey played earlier and Michael van Gerwen played then there should only be one winner, but it doesn't work like that.
I can see it going down to the final leg.

Result: Price 5-6 Cross
I think a lot of people who watched that match, or certainly the last few legs, will be in complete shock that not only has Rob Cross won, but he has done so in that fashion.
He averaged 89.4 in that match to Gerwyn Price's 97.4
Cross took six of his 15 darts at a finish, a 40% rate. Meanwhile, Price landed five of his 10 chances.

There’s disbelief in the crowd, and there’s disbelief in the media room. Rob Cross looked nowhere in that final leg until those last three, brilliant darts. As soon as the first treble 20 went in, it looked inevitable. Outstanding from Cross to weather the storm.
Result: Price 5-6 Cross
Image source, PA MediaRob Cross has the darts, but fails to find a treble with any of his first six. A 140 on Gerwyn Price's second visit send the crowd roaring.
Price sets up a 170 out. How good would this be?
It doesn't get going, but he will get at least three darts at 115.
19, treble 20 and a miss of double 18.
Cross needs 170 for the match. Treble 20, treble 20, bull!
Wow. Just wow.
Cardiff is silenced. Cross wins 6-5. Talk about clutch finishing.
Price 5-5 Cross
"Na na na na na na na na na na na, Gerwyn, Gerwyn Price," chant this Cardiff crowd and the Iceman is using it to his advantage.
He gets at least six darts at 167 to make it 5-5, but can only get down to 40 after them.
Rob Cross gets a chance at 160 for the match, but his second treble 20 attempt is far too low.
Price pins tops. 5-5. We're going the distance.
Price 4-5 Cross

Gerwyn Price is starting to flow and go.
Price 4-5 Cross
The scoring in this match and crowd atmosphere had dropped, but a 128 from Gerwyn Price to get down to a finish keeps them going.
He gets six darts at 134 and after three, only needs double 20 for a break of throw.
Some poor Rob Cross darts give Price a boost and in response, the Iceman pins tops to make it 5-4.
Price 3-5 Cross
Four straight legs is what Gerwyn Price needs to win to avoid a disappointing early exit in Cardiff.
Price takes a lead against Cross and a 140 sets up six darts at 127 to stay in the match.
The first three leave 74, with Cross hitting a 103 to move onto 76.
Price gets one dart at double 20 and takes it out. On we go.
Price 2-5 Cross
Image source, PA MediaRob Cross fires in back-to-back 180s to make up for starting this seventh leg terribly.
On 98, Cross cannot get going and Gerwyn Price is allowed a chance at 154, which is unsuccessful.
Needing double 20 for 5-2, Cross pins tops in one.
Price 2-4 Cross
Rod Studd
Commentator on Sky Sports
That was a passage of play that could be pivotal at the end of this game.
Price 2-4 Cross
Remember earlier when Michael van Gerwen was 3-0 down earlier and turned into a completely different player from then on?
Gerwyn Price has caught the bug.
Needing 143 for 3-3, Price gets the two trebles to land, but falls just short at the double 16 end.
Cross punishes Price on double 20 for 4-2.
Price 2-3 Cross
Image source, PA MediaThis is as close to a home atmosphere Gerwyn Price will get all season and a 180, which he celebrates with his arms spread wide, gets the crowd going.
His next visit of 132 set up six darts at 74 for a break of throw.
Treble 18, 10, double five. "COME ON" is the scream from the Iceman.. He breaks back.
"Wales, Wales, Wales" is how the crowd respond.
Price 1-3 Cross
An excellent start to the fourth leg from Rob Cross, who fires in a maximum to continue his momentum against Welsh native Gerwyn Price.
Cross gets down to a finish first, but it is at 170. Price is allowed to take out 33.
He opts for the double 12 route. Price splits the 12s, but pins double six for a hold of throw.
