Mitchell, then, has the break in the 11th. Can he ram home the advantage and move to within one set of the title? The averages (both at 92) aren't great, and the finishing has been shoddy, but it's absorbing stuff. Mitchell, with the darts, has the first shot out, a 112. No treble, no finish. Adams, then, for 96 and a break back. One at double eight.... it's all he needs! The Lakeside erupts with Wolfie howls. Back on throw.

James Cox:, external And people say darts isn't a sport... the pressure and atmosphere is so real right now!

Kris Middleton:, external You might want to get Kate Humble out of that volcano. This #bbcdarts could be a while!

Kate Humble: Into The Volcano - and other regular BBC Two programmes - will resume after the darts concludes.

Here comes Wolfie, starting the 11th set with a maximum. Mitchell, though, keeps pace and the pair meet at 261. Oh, Scott Mitchell, what a time for a maximum. He comes for 81 as Adams watches with 64 in his back pocket. Mitchell for two 12s? An 11-dart leg! What a time to break the throw!

Simon:, external What a great darts final on the edge of your seat stuff....how do they cope?

Fi Donovan:, external Loving the final of the BDO at Lakeside. Must make it there next year.

Ross Downs:, external Come on Wolfie! Behind you all the way.

"The three sets Mitchell has won against the Adams throw - on each occasion, Adams has broken back straight away."

Adams, the three-time champion, throws for the 10th set and a level match. He does well with his early arrows and follows up with a 140 to leave 143 after nine. Applause inside the Lakeside, the same again when Mitchell lands a 140 of his own. Still, Adams has the luxury of setting-up a shot at 83, Mitchell waits on 100. Adams for the set... double 16? No! Two darts missed. Mitchell can't take out a ton, so Adams comes back to huge noise. One missed... two missed... a third dart lands! We're all square!

Darts commentator on BBC Two

"Martin Adams simply doesn't get involved in boring and mundane finals. They've all gone to the wire."

If Wolfie just starting to show his teeth? A maximum pressures the Mitchell throw in a crucial leg and will have the first shot at a finish, but three loose darts let Mitchell back in. 152 for Adams, but no real impression made. Scotty for 68. One at double 18... just falling short. Adams for 109 and the set, but a horrible effort. Mitchell must take this double nine. Ah, more poor finishing. It's amazing how mistakes can be so fascinating. Adams for two 12s! No! Can anyone take this leg? Scott Mitchell can! Hard work to hold, but Adams can still take the set.

Andrea Gunn:, external Never been so nervous watching the darts in all my life! #teammitchell

Kevin Harrison:, external Can't believe how much I'm enjoying the darts.

Clarkyboy2002:, external The BDO final is getting very exciting. Rooting for Scott Mitchell personally.

Mitchell worked so hard to win the ninth set, but already that might be for nothing. He'll have top break Adams in this 10th set to keep his lead. Adams, though, is not for breaking, pinging in a long-overdue 180 to get down to a finish. Moving all the oche, Wolfie hits a big treble to leave tops. This time? Yes. He's one leg from levelling at 5-5.

We're back for the final session. The next time the players leave the stage, one of them will be world champion. Mitchell, the Big Pink, gets to 201 in nine, with Wolfie doing the same. A top treble gets Mitchell to 95, drawing applause. However, he can't get to a double, leaving Adams for 120. Tops? No, it just hasn't been kind to him all night. Mitchell for two 10s... another miss. Surely Adams has to take this chance? He does. An early break in the 10th set.

Phil Cartwright
BBC Sport at the Lakeside

"Taking that ninth set was a huge moment for Scott Mitchell. He's been so calm and calculated all week, rarely have we seen him show that level of emotion on stage. Some of his World Championship winnings are likely to go towards a new tractor for the Mitchell family farm - he's two sets away from being able to afford one at the very top of the range."

Julian:, external Not the best darts I've seen but certainly the most exciting. Brilliant war of attrition.

Where are we? I'll tell you. When we return, Scott Mitchell will return to throw for a 6-4 lead. Put simply, if he holds his throw six times, at the right times, he is world champion.

Karl 'Tango' Nolan:, external Cracking game of darts here from both lads.

BOAB:, external Quite a final so far. Still anybody's.

Warren:, external Huge leg in the match that. 5-4 to @scottydogdart and the set won against the throw.

Bobby George
Two-time BDO world championship finalist on BBC Two

"That's the first time all week I've seen that reaction from Scott Mitchell. A very entertaining match, not one-sided."

So, one final leg before the break, in which one man will have a 5-4 lead. It should be Martin Adams, because he has the darts. But, three loose darts give Mitchell a chance. The Big Pink nudges ahead, nibbling at the Wolf, who just about covers himself with treble 19. Adams will have six from 217, setting-up 132. Can Mitchell make a hole in 193? These are big darts... one treble 19. Adams looks for two bullseyes, the second of which misses. Mitchell for 96, a break, and the set. Ah, he's all about the bass - no treble. So, Adams for 48. 16, double 16. No! Mitchell for 58... two at tops.... yes! Mitchell breaks! He leads 5-4!

Vassos Alexander

"Essentially, we are going with throw. Martin Adams threw first in the match, and in this set - Scott Mitchell will throw first in the 10th set."

Back on throw, then, in this ninth set, with Mitchell holding the darts and looking to send us to a decider. Mitchell scores well to set the pace, looking relaxed once more. A great camera angle from above the board shows the crowd, set in rows of tables, with a busy bar at the back. A great last dart from Adams gets him to 101 as Mitchell sits on 141. Wolfie to come for the set... a treble... big nine... double 16? No! Mitchell for two 18s. Taken! A decider coming up.

George Riley
Darts commentator on BBC Two

"That's his highest checkout of this final, taking out 94 with a bull."
