Dobey 3-3 Aspinall
It doesn't look like it's coming easy for Nathan Aspinall, but he is scrapping away for his life here as he levels the game once again.
He hit two 180s there and finished it off in 14 darts so not a bad standard at all.

Dobey 3-2 Aspinall
Bit of a role reversal as Nathan Aspinall hits his second 180 but then misses two doubles, and Chris Dobey is showboating with another double-double finish!
Again, it's an accident as he hits double 10 instead of single when trying to clean up 50, but luckily he can just go next door to double 15 to go ahead.
Cue a wry smile from Aspinall..

Dobey 2-2 Aspinall
In fact, Chris Dobey finds two of them to win the fourth leg with an accidental double-double finish as he hit tops before nailing double 10 to kill off 80.
If he can start doing that more regularly then combined with his scoring he could be in business.

Dobey 1-2 Aspinall
Another 180 for Chris Dobey, but again he can't find that outer ring as he misses a dart at tops.
Nathan Aspinall, by contrast, is well behind in scoring but when he gets one shot at double top he makes no mistake to somehow move ahead despite lagging way behind for the most part.
Sums up the sport of darts beautifully that leg.

Dobey 1-1 Aspinall
Dan Dawson
Commentator on Sky SportsThere was genuine anguish from Aspinall at that first missed double.
Scores for show...published at 20:32 Greenwich Mean Time 27 February
Dobey 1-1 Aspinall
A third maximum from Chris Dobey leaves him on 34 and that pressure on Nathan Aspinall sees him mess up 115.
Dobey's having big problems on his doubles though and he misses another two allowing Aspinall to finally pinch the leg.
Doubles for dough I think the saying goes...
Two maximumspublished at 20:27 Greenwich Mean Time 27 February
Dobey 1-0 Aspinall
Nathan Aspinall has the throw in this third game, but Chris Dobey comes flying out of the traps with a 180 on his first visit - and the hits one on his third as well!
He misses three darts at double but Aspinall then has a shocker trying to get down from 54 and that allows Dobey to return to win the leg at the fifth attempt for an early break.

Dobey v Aspinall
For two players who are pretty similar, Nathn Aspinall has an eye-catching record against Chris Dobey recently - winning nine of the past 10 encounters.
It's a record Dobey is well aware of.
"I need to win this one for bragging rights," said Dobey.
"Nathan has been telling everybody about his record against me over the last few weeks, so that makes me even more hungry to turn the tables!
"It's a massive game. Me and Nathan are already on the same points, so we'll both be up for it and hopefully it will be a cracker."

Dobey v Aspinall
Image source, Getty ImagesNathan Aspinall won in Exeter last year and made last week's final in Dublin - losing to Gerwyn Price after beating Rob Cross and Michael van Gerwen in his first two wins of the season.
Chris Dobey was also a runner-up in the opening night of the Premier League in Belfast, but has lost both of his matches since.
The Asp has a commanding record over Dobey though, winning nine of their last 10 matches so will fancy his chances in this one.

Price 4-6 Humphries
What an ending to that game - Luke Humphries even missing a big number when he found 20 instead of one to make everyone who plays darts down the pub feel better.
He hit three 180s and averaged 97.22 though so deserved that win with Gerwyn Price back on 89.77 and just the one maximum - yet the Welshman could have at least forced a decided after missing those hatful of doubles himself.
What a game!

BreakingPrice 4-6 Humphries
Image source, Getty ImagesLuke Humphries misses three match darts at double 18 but then Gerwyn Price goes and misses three at tops!
But the drama isn't over as Humphries then misses a big one to make a complete hash of things - only for Price again to mess up when missing another three at tops.
Finally, Humphries can compse himself to hit double nine and finish off a farcical but dramatic final leg of the match.

Price 4-5 Humphries
Finally a leg goes against the throw and it's Luke Humphries who takes it, again in 14 darts, as Gerwyn Price can't get a shot when sat on 124.

Price 4-4 Humphries
Make that eight straight holds as we're still going with serve. Luke Humphries shows his mental strength by ignoring the last leg and getting back on track.
He throws a 59 on his first visit but a 180 gets him going again and from there he takes it in 14 darts again.
Double roarpublished at 20:08 Greenwich Mean Time 27 February
Price 4-3 Humphries
There's an extra fist pump on the Gerwyn Price roar as he goes back in front heading down the stretch.
A wry smile from Luke Humphries as he really should have given himself a dart to break, but when he fluffs his line it's a seventh straight hold of throw.

Two 140s by Luke Humphries helps him to a 14 darter to send the game level yet again.

John Part
Former PDC world champion on Sky SportsThat was a curious choice of celebration from Price. He hit the mute button.

Price 3-2 Humphries
Four solid tons for Gerwyn Price are enough to negate a Luke Humphries 180 and the Welshman can take the leg in 14 darts in relative comfort even though Humphries had a shot at 81 to win it.
Magic darts!published at 20:03 Greenwich Mean Time 27 February
Price 2-2 Humphries
Wonderful 156 outshot from Luke Humphries to delight this crowd in Exeter!
He doesn't celebrate too much as it's 'only' for a hold of throw but it will be a big boost for his confidence as Grwyn Price had a shot at going 3-1 in front there.
