Peter Wass:, external It'll be close, but experience will out. Number four for Wolfie.

Rudi Feix:, external Stuck in work watching updates online, come on Wolfie.

So, Adams throwing for the set and a 5-4 lead, an advantage that he might not surrender. Mitchell needs to remember that, Adams should win this set, Wolfie had the darts. Mitchell talks to himself as he throws, getting to 161 first, but Wolfie can also get down to 131. Mitchell can't take 161, but leaves 94. Adams for the set... leaves 32. Mitchell's 94 must go. Bullseye? In! And a break!

"Scott Mitchell's an emotional guy. If he wins this, the tears with flow. Martin, you sometimes think he has ice in his veins. He doesn't let the missed chances affect him."

All of a sudden, Scott Mitchell is looking nervous. Worried even. Still, a 140 keeps Wolfie back, with the Scotty Dog knowing that six from 179 will do. As Mitchell's son peers around some Chelsea Pensioners, Mitchell gets to 79, a two-dart checkout. Two at double 11, but he'll have to come back for double four. Adams can't take 103 can he? He can! That's a break. Wolfie is howling.

Bryan Mackie:, external What an equaliser, Wolfie! C'mon, son!

Rian Hoskins:, external ‏That may be a turning point. Mitchell has been brilliant at checkouts this week so surprising he missed that. Gives Adams a boost.

I just wonder if that was Scott Mitchell's chance. Martin Adams is used to going the distance in huge matches - his first world title was a 7-6 win over Phill Nixon - so he'll be happy to keep going all night. He has the darts here and comes for 118, leaving tops. Mitchell for 139, but no shot at double. Can Wolfie finally find tops? No, but his love affair with double 10 continues. He's back in front.

"Mitchell had four chances for a double to take a 5-3 lead in a first-to-seven match - and he didn't take any of them."

"The biggest grin and the biggest release of adrenaline of the night from Martin Adams. What a comeback."

Is this the biggest leg of the match so far? Mitchell knows it, but gives Adams the smallest opening, one that goes missed. Scotty will have six from 219, but can only leave 136 with his first three. He looks tense, while the Lakeside crowd are hanging on every dart. No pressure from Wolfie, two 60s from Mitchell... double eight? No! He'll be back, though. Adams sits on tops, but can only watch as Mitchell looks for 16 and the set. One missed. Double four? Missed. Double two? No! Four set-darts gone. Adams and tops? You better believe it! A huge cheer, the loudest of the night. We are level again.

Bournemouth footballer Marc Pugh:, external Scotty Mitchell throwing well. Fancy him to win this.

The local Daily Echo reported yesterday, external how Pugh is a "darts fanatic", while Mitchell is a "keen follower" of Pugh and his Cherries team-mates - and how the pair regularly tweet each other.

Now, Adams must hold to have a chance of levelling this at 4-4. His face remains expressionless as he opens up a healthy lead. Six darts from 121, but a poor third dart only leaves 79. Tricky finish, but made easier by the fact that Mitchell is in different post code. Still, it's taken six arrows for Adams to get from 121 to 32. Three darts at two 16s.... now one at double eight... in she goes! He punches the air! Now, though, Mitchell throws for the set...

"I'm liking the body language around Scotty Mitchell at the moment. Does Martin Adams have enough in the tank?"

It's just dawned on me. The thing that keeps Adams different from other darts players (bar the wolf-like appearance). He tucks his shirt into his trousers. No scruffiness from Wolfie, he could go to the office looking like that. Anyway, Mitchell leaves 32 after 12 as he looks to hold. Done with the minimum of fuss. He looks confident and is one leg away from a 5-3 lead.

Is Adams's poor finishing finally catching up with him? He should have broken in that last leg. His finishing is down at 26%, compared to Mitchell's 40%, which itself is only steady. Wolfie with the darts, not doing enough to shake Mitchell off, but still first to a finish. Shanghai, 120 is the shot, one at tops! Just over the wire. Now, Mitchell for 136. Two 60s! Just missing double eight. That would have been a huge blow. Still Adams struggles with tops, finally landing double 10.

"I asked Martin this afternoon how he was feeling, and he said he was loving it. He loves this stage, he's a Lakeside legend."

How big might that be? Scott Mitchell wins a set against the darts and is now throwing for a 5-3 lead. Would Adams be able to come back from that? Wolfie is given an opening here, but can't take it. Mitchell, after a few loose darts, gets back amongst the 60s to keep Adams at arm's length. Still, Wolfie for 161... failed with treble 17. Mitchell for 85 and a hold? Two 16s? No. Wolfie on 24. Three missed at double 12! His finishing really has let him down all night. Mitchell for two eights? Taken with the third dart!

George Riley
Darts commentator on BBC Two

"Both players are around the 94 average, but Mitchell's energy levels have to be better than those of Martin Adams, given the events of yesterday."

So, Mitchell throwing for a lead he has not held since the first set of the match. A 140 is more than handy and means he will have six from 261. Very good from Scotty, a 140 leaves 121 after nine. This is a better standard. He'll have that for the set, with Adams miles back. No treble for Scotty, but he'll still get a shot at 64. Tops? Missed, but Adams can't do anything with 167. Tens for Mitchell? Yes! He takes the lead!

Phil Cartwright
BBC Sport at the Lakeside

"The end of the sixth set and the start of the second break signalled a huge surge for the bars. The crowd at Lakeside know they could be in for the long haul tonight."
