    Phil Taylor 10-6 Raymond van Barneveld

    2010 Players Championship winner

    It was great to watch. He didn't really get out of third gear.

    He was so smooth it didn't look like he was under any pressure whatsoever.

    He's the complete darting package.

    Breaking

    Phil Taylor 10-6 Raymond van Barneveld

    He's done it! Taylor beats his oldest rival to make it two wins from two.

    Barney misses tops to break and The Power steps in to hit the same double.

    I'm just doing the numbers to see if that puts Taylor through to the semi-finals - I'm pretty sure it does.

    *Phil Taylor 9-6 Raymond van Barneveld

    That could be your lot I'm afraid Raymond.

    The Power starts leg 15 with his fourth 180, leaves himself a nice round 40 which he takes out with his second dart.

    Taylor will throw for the match.

    Phil Taylor 8-6 Raymond van Barneveld*

    Taylor is two away from victory.

    Two 140s in the leg leave him nicely on 32.

    He goes inside but finishes next dart on double 8. Composure? You bet ya.

    *Phil Taylor 7-6 Raymond van Barneveld

    Better from Barney.

    Double 16 is his friend as Taylor struggles to find the trebles and we're back to a one-leg game.

    Taylor still has the break of throw mind.

    Phil Taylor 7-5 Raymond van Barneveld*

    Is that Barney's chance gone?

    Both players power in a maximum, but the Dutchman misses numerous doubles.

    So does Taylor before the Englishman pins double 10.

    *Phil Taylor 6-5 Raymond van Barneveld

    Gorgeous from Van Barneveld.

    He floats in his third 180 and nails 76 on double 8 for a 14-darter.

    It's still too close to call.

    They're back out with Barney to throw first. It's crucial he holds his throw you feel.

    Mensur Suljovic 10-8 Peter Wright

    While Taylor and Barney take a quick refreshment, here's how Mensur Suljovic reached Sunday's semi-finals earlier...

    Phil Taylor 6-4 Raymond van Barneveld*

    Yep, Taylor does go into the break with a two-leg advantage and what composure from the defending champion.

    He takes out 92 on double six with Barney breathing down his neck.

    There's the break! First blood to The Power.

    Taylor lands double 5 in a scrappy leg to move in front.

    He'll be desperate to go into the break 6-4 up.

    Phil Taylor 4-4 Raymond van Barneveld*

    Shanghai on the 20s from Phil for a superb 120 finish and it's all square once again!

    They're only averaging 90-odd apiece, but it's such an engaging watch.

    Could this be the last time we see these two titans meet on stage?

  16. Postpublished at 20:59 British Summer Time 16 September 2017

    *Phil Taylor 3-4 Raymond van Barneveld

    Barney's throw is a joy to watch.

    The Dutchman is in the red bit once again with his second 180 but leaves an awkward double 17.

    He hits two to leave double 16, but hits double 8 and misses another attempt.

    Taylor misses and Raymond is relieved to hit double 4.

    Where is the break of throw coming from?

    Phil Taylor 3-3 Raymond van Barneveld*

    12-darter for The Power!

    The 57-year-old lands his second 180 to start the leg and finishes 81 on double top.

    He's loving it up there.

    *Phil Taylor 2-3 Raymond van Barneveld

    They're firing now!

    Both men exchange 180s, but it's Barney who is down to a double first and pins double 16 without any bother.

    Where is the break going to come from? Neither of these great rivals is giving an inch.

    Phil Taylor 2-2 Raymond van Barneveld*

    And another leg with the throw, but it's a first sign of double trouble for Phil Taylor.

    The 16-time world champ misses plenty at double 8 and then double 4 and double 2 before eventually finishing with his 19th dart.

    Two apiece.
