Littler 5-5 Aspinall
Was it ever in doubt?
Well, when Nathan Aspinall had a dart at the bull for the match, yes it was!
It was obscured but he came close to a 132 out to win it but instead, Luke Littler hits tops to make it 5-5.
Aspinall has the darts in the deciding leg.
Littler 4-5 Aspinall
Image source, PA MediaNathan Aspinall is doing what he needs to do so far.
Despite a bounce out costing him a 180, he gets down to a finish first and hits double 12 to close in on the final.
He needs one more leg to get there but if Luke Littler holds, we'll have another one-leg shootout.

Back and forth we go. Luke Littler levels it up once more.

Nathan Aspinall is playing exceptionally well. He can sense the opportunity here.
Littler 3-4 Aspinall
Nathan Aspinall edges ahead again.
Another close miss at the bullseye doesn't cost him with Luke Littler unable to even give himself a dart at double from 102.

Luke Littler wasn't crisp in his quarter-final but I love how he's been throwing the darts in this game. The problem for him is Nathan Aspinall has been doing a pretty good job himself.
Littler 3-3 Aspinall
Luke Littler is level - but only after Nathan Aspinall's dart at bull to break hits just the wrong side of the wire.
Littler had missed two at tops to give his opponent that chance but composes himself and hits double 10 to hold.
Littler 2-3 Aspinall
What a turnaround!
Nathan Aspinall holds to win his third leg on the trot.
Another 180 leaves him 38 and he finishes it on double 16.
Can Luke Littler respond? He usually does...

Nathan Aspinall is coming to life here.
Littler 2-2 Aspinall
Game on...
Luke Littler misses three darts for a 3-1 lead - top and two at double 10 - and Nathan Aspinall is there to pounce.
With 77 needed, he goes 19, 18, tops to level it up.
Littler 2-1 Aspinall
Crucial hold for Nathan Aspinall.
After hitting his first 18 of the match, he finishes on double four for a 13-darter.
He said anything after winning his quarter-final was a bonus tonight but with so little to separate third and fifth, another couple of wins could be massive come the end of the campaign.
Littler 2-0 Aspinall
These two meet in the quarter-finals in Leeds next week - and that is good news for Luke Littler.
He's won 11 of their previous 12 meetings and is quickly two legs up here.
Double 10 for a 15-dart hold.
Littler 1-0 Aspinall

This is much more like it from Luke Littler. It is aggressive, he was passive in his quarter-final.
Littler 1-0 Aspinall
Luke Littler starts the match with five perfect darts and goes on to break.
It takes him a little longer than he'd like to finish it off with misses on tops and double 10 but he gets double five to immediately seize the advantage.
Work to do for Nathan Aspinall already.

Image source, PA MediaBoth players are up on stage and we're ready to go in this first semi-final.
Luke Littler is aiming to reach a seventh Premier League final of the year but it's Nathan Aspinall, trying to reach his fourth, to throw first...
I mentioned at the start of the night that it was beginning to look like three from two for the last couple of play-off spots.
Well, it is looking even more like that following those quarter-final results.
Nathan Aspinall, Gerwyn Price and Michael van Gerwen have put more distance between themselves and the rest.
As for Luke Littler, sitting pretty at the top, that record fifth nightly win is still on...

Luke Littler needs to put in a more authoritative performance here to get past Nathan Aspinall.
All of which means, these are the two intriguing semi-finals...
That's the last-eight ties done then and here's a reminder of what we've seen - no easy wins tonight!
