Van Gerwen 2-2 Cross
Emphatic response from Rob Cross with a 13 darter of his own to restore parity - that's pretty hard to stop when you're throwing first!
There's two 134s and a 140 in there that has Cross well ahead of the Dutchman.
Van Gerwen 2-1 Cross
A 180 to start for Rob Cross but Michael van Gerwen pulls away with a 140 and 171.
Cross almost pinches it with a 167 that he only needs the Bull to finish off but he's off target, and Van Gerwen can return to hit double 10.
That's another 13-darter for MVG to go in front.
Van Gerwen 1-1 Cross

It was a little bit similar to the opening leg - the player throwing first had a darting debacle.
Van Gerwen 1-1 Cross
Michael van Gerwen comes roaring back and almost takes out 134 before returning to finish off a 13-darter to break right back and level the match.
Van Gerwen 0-1 Cross
Rob Cross grabs an early break thanks to some dodgy scoring from Michael van Gerwen.
Cross almost hits an 11-darter but misses two darts at double 16. He's so far ahead though he can return to finish it off to take the lead - against the darts.
Van Gerwen 0-0 Cross
MVG has the throw in the opening leg as night four gets under way in Exeter.
Van Gerwen v Cross

"I didn't know that stat," he told Sky Sports. "That's a great stat but stats mean nothing and it all just comes down to the night and I just have to play well."
Van Gerwen v Cross
Image source, Getty ImagesNo, it's not the Mitchell brothers from Eastenders but rather former world champions Michael van Gerwen and Rob Cross kicking us off tonight with the opening match.
MVG has made the semi-finals in all three nights so far but will hope to at least go one better tonight, while Cross also made the opening night semis but has lost both matches since then.
Voltage has been a livewire against Mighty Mike recently, as he has won five of the last six head-to-heads on the big stage - but with the Dutchman averaging 105, 109 and 99 in his three previous Premier League quarter-finals he'll be tough to beat.
Image source, Getty ImagesGuess who? Yep, even if he's not winning every week, Luke Littler is still the biggest scorer in darts and the top 180 hitter in the Premier League.
Here's a stat for you though - in his five matches so far Littler has only hit the most 180s once! Quite incredible really given he tops the overall charts, and shows how players are maybe raising their games when they face him.
He's such a heavy scorer that it's no surprise to see Luke Littler top the Premier League averages so far - with Michael van Gerwen the only other player currently recording a ton-plus average for the tournament.
Image source, Getty ImagesIt obviously depends how far you get each week, but a good indicator of form is how many legs players have won in total so far in the Premier League.
Leg difference (in brackets) adds another layer on whether players are involved in close matches or are blowing the opposition away - world number one Luke Humphries is playing at the highest level so far.
Legs won (legs difference)
A night win last week for Gerwyn Price has seen him fly up to second in the Premier League table.
Luke Humphries remains top by three points, while Luke Littler dropped from second to fourth after his quarter-final exit.

Every Thursday, the eight players go head-to-head in a straight knockout tournament. So, each player will be entered at the quarter-final stage, before moving to the semi-finals and then a final.
These matches are all played over the best of 11 legs (or games of darts).
Players take home points from each of these rounds. The winner of the night gets five points, the runner-up three points, and each semi-finalist wins two points.
All eight players are re-entered into the tournament for the next round on the following Thursday.
The players will meet each other once at the quarter-final stage from weeks one to seven, and then again in weeks nine to 15. The matches in weeks eight and 16 will be played based on position in the league at that point.
The four players at the top of the table by the end of night 16 qualify for the final play-offs, which take place on Thursday, 29 May.
The semi-finals of the play-offs are played over 19 legs, while the winner is crowned in a final match played across the best of 21 legs.
Here's the line-up for tonight and how the semi-finals have been drawn.
