Smith 1-1 Van Gerwen
Better from Smith on his throw, helped by a couple of trebleless outings from Van Gerwen.
He leaves himself with three darts to take out 48, but he only needs two, going eight and then tops to level up.
Michael Smith 0-1 Michael van Gerwen

I was impressed with Michael Smith in his quarter-final.
Smith 0-1 Van Gerwen
On his throw, Van Gerwen has taken early dominance, controlling this first leg.
He wraps it up with a big 108 checkout. Treble 19, 19, double 16. 1-0.
Smith 0-0 Van Gerwen
The winner of this faces a Luke Littler, who has just averaged over 107 to reach the final.
Van Gerwen to throw first in this second semi-final, game on!
Michael Smith v Michael van Gerwen
From the 2024 World Championship final, we now have the 2023 World Championship final on display in the other semi-final.
Michael Smith has a really good chance to break into the top four tonight, a win over MIchael van Gerwen would help.
Mighty Mike was clinical at the end of what proved to be a surprise win over Nathan Aspinall in the end of their quarter-final.
Result: Humphries 5-6 Littler
The quarter-final win over Rob Cross was a bit patchy for Littler, but the same could not really be said there, having averaged 107.23 in that win.
Littler scored five maximums, but Humphries had three of his own to match.
Humphries took out 55.6% of his checkouts, but Littler's rate of 46.2% got the job done and he is in yet another final.
Result: Humphries 5-6 Littler
That is why these two top the table!
What an absolutely phenomenal game of darts we've just witnessed.
Humphries went 2-0 up, Littler won five on the spin to go 5-2 up, then it was 5-5, and then a break of throw from Littler in the last.
Going into the final leg, Humphries had just won three straight legs and had the darts in his control to win the match.
Littler was imperious and deserved that win, landing a dart in double 14 for victory, but what a fantastic match from both.

Luke Littler is a magician but Luke Humphries is a machine. He is number one because he is the best player in the world.
Humphries 5-5 Littler
Humphries has won the tenth leg and we're going to a decider!
Littler had the chance to take out 72 but missed one dart at tops.
Humphries fights back, and finishes 25 on double eight for a third leg in a row.
We're going to a decider and Humphries has the darts.

This is the elite. He is the world champion.
He walked past Luke Littler like he means business. There was no looking at each other. They both want to win this.
Humphries 4-5 Littler
Some of the highest standard of darts between Humphries and Littler.
Humphries again excellent on the finish. He takes out 83, going three, tops, tops. Superb finishing.
Humphries 3-5 Littler
It had to take something pretty spectacular for Humphries to break Littler's throw the way he has been playing.
To his credit, he does that. He takes out 68, going 20, double 16, double 18.
Luke Humphries 2-5 Luke Littler

What a joy it is to watch this young man play darts.
Humphries 2-5 Littler
I should stress, Luke Humphries is still playing pretty well. Littler has just been that good.
Littler breaks throw and wins his fifth leg in a row with a 94 checkout.
The first dart bounces out, the second finds treble 18 and the third finds tops.
Humphries can only respond with a wry smile.

Nobody has played darts of the quality Luke Littler is showing since Michael van Gerwen in his peak. There is an ease and a flow.
This is brutal! The world champion is a bystander at the moment.
Humphries 2-4 Littler
Luke Humphries is the defending world champion but right now, he just has a front row seat to Littler's brilliance.
The 17-year-old wins a fourth leg on the trot, taking out 52 with a 12 and tops. This is something else.
Humphries 2-3 Littler
From seven perfect darts in the last leg, Littler then throws six to start off leg five.
Dart seven lands in treble five instead of treble 20, which narrowly ends another chance for Littler.
Instead, he returns to take out 108. Littler goes treble 17, single 17, tops, for another 12-dart break.
Littler has just thrown the three most brilliant legs.
Humphries 2-2 Littler
Wow, what a finish that would have been!
Luke Littler throws seven perfect darts, but the eighth goes just below treble 19, leaving himself 20 after nine darts.
Littler misses three darts at doubles, but then returns and takes out double five to go 2-2 up.
A crazy, crazy match.
Humphries 2-1 Littler
Anything Humphries can do, so can Littler!
A 12-dart break of his own, checking out 90 with a treble 20 then double 15, makes it 2-1.
Luke Humphries 2-0 Luke Littler
