Humphries 3-3 Cross
Six 180s in six legs, five of them by Cross.
A 180 followed by a 177, then an 86 checkout on the bull, and Voltage levels.

Humphries 3-2 Cross
Image source, Getty ImagesA rare error from the world number one as Humphries misses a dart at double 16 and then one at double eight.
Cross mops up to hold throw and maybe keep himself in the match. Being 4-1 behind in a race to six would have been extremely tough to come back from.

These two scoring brilliantly, both averaging above 106 towards the end of the fifth leg.

He's so good when he's on song.

Humphries 1-0 Cross
Luke Humphries almost takes out a 170 finish in the opener, missing his effort at the bull, but he's far enough ahead to hit the winning double at his next visit.

Humphries 0-0 Cross
Rob Cross won the throw for the bull off stage, so he will be throwing first in our opening semi-final, which will be played over the best of 11 legs.
Game on!

Humphries v Cross
Luke Humphries takes on Rob Cross in the first of tonight's semi-finals - the current and former world champions were probably the two most impressive performers in their quarter-finals earlier this evening in Brighton.
Humphries averaged more than 105 in his 6-2 win against Gerwyn Price, while Cross saw off the league leader Michael van Gerwen by the same scoreline.

Smith 5-5 Wright
Into a decider!
Michael Smith misses a match dart at the bull, and Peter Wright checks out 71 to send us all the way in this fourth and final quarter-final of the evening.

Former World Championship semi-finalist on Sky SportsPeter Wright lost the bullseye before the match so if it goes to 5-5 he'll throw second in the deciding leg, which could prove crucial in a match which hasn't seen a break of throw yet.
