We said Gary Anderson needed a little bit of magic and that is what he's produced.

That is sensational from Gary Anderson. It is roof-raising.

There's a change of mood-music in this session. Luke Littler was on top of the world and now he's like someone waiting to see the dentist.

Vintage Gary Anderson!

The two-time world champion takes out 164 - treble 20, treble 18, bull - to break the throw.

Is the nine-darter on for Gary Anderson?

He has 150 left for a perfect leg but not to be this time.

Finishing at the next visit will be just fine for the Scot, though.

Gary Anderson will have been frustrated. He has to respond quickly because Luke Littler is a really good frontrunner.

Anderson will think he has to win this mini-session at least 3-2.

There's a lot of respect on that stage and it may just be warming up to the game we were expecting.

You will have seen and read so much about Luke Littler's exploits this year, so you may be surprised to see that he is not yet ranked in the world's top 16.

Well, the PDC's Order of Merit is based on a two-year rolling cycle of results and ordered by prize money won in ranking events.

Littler has under a year's worth of results to contribute to his ranking, which is why he is currently 18th in the standings - although he will rise considerably thanks to his efforts in Wolverhampton this week.

The teenager took home £275,000 for winning the Premier League and another £80,000 for winning the World Series of Darts finals, but the prize money from those tournaments does not count as they are invitational events.

Very little pressure on Luke Littler to finish off 45 in two darts, but despite taking leg five, the teenager still trails Gary Anderson as they head to the first break.
