Peter Wright easily takes out 61 to go in at the break just two legs down.

Can Mensur Suljovic maintain his fine form when they come out for the second half of this thrilling encounter?

A splendid (yes, splendid) 61 leaves Mensur Suljovic 60 left, which he throws with no hesitation.

There's still a way to go, but it's looking like the Austrian might be having a day to remember, here.

Left with 184, Peter Wright strangely opts to throw a 180. On his next trip, he misses two darts at double two and then misses double one.

Mensur Suljovic makes him pay as he throws double 10 to take a two-leg lead and break his throw.

Jimbo: Who actually likes double 9? I'd just make all future dartboards without a double 9 bed.

Calum Livingstone: Do like big Mensur but this game is really showing why he can't be in the Premier League, just so slow

Can't argue with his scoring though Calum. He's hit four maximums so far.

There's some lovely finishing from Mensur Suljovic this evening when he's at his best.

He's just thrown a pinpoint treble 17 and double eight and it's got me feeling some kinda way.

Lovely.

Boom, another Mensur Suljovic maximum. Peter Wright sees his 121 checkout falter on a missed bullseye but Suljovic's failure to get double 18 gives him another opportunity to level it up.

He breaks Suljovic's throw as he bags a double eight to wrap up the leg.

Howard Evans: The double Mensur on the roll again.. never misses it

Another 180 from Suljovic sends him on his way to a 104 checkout which he dispatches with ease on his favourite double 14.

I knew he'd nail it after he more or less placed his second dart into treble 19. Lovely darts.

A missed double top from Peter Wright leaves Mensur Suljovic 142, which is just too much for him.

Another trip to the oche and Snakebite levels it up as he holds his throw after hitting his first maximum.

We have the first 180 of the match and it's courtesy of Mensur Suljovic. Needing 89 he misses on the bull to wrap up another leg.

Meanwhile, Peter Wright also misses the bull on an 161 takeout attempt, leaving his Austrian opponent an easy double eight to go 2-1 ahead.

Not quite a maximum but a super 177 from Suljovic puts the pressure on Snakebite and with his next trip, he smashes another 177.

Both men look off the pace and what looked like being a quick leg has devolved into something much longer.

There's relief from Suljovic after he finally gets double one to level it up.

A beautiful 76 checkout from Peter Wright gives him the first leg of the match and that was a very leisurely leg.

Both players content to settle into their stint at the oche.

Mensur Suljovic will throw first.

Let's get it on!

Dave J Gandolfini: Big win for Anderson but Chisnall has only himself to blame there for missing too many crucial doubles!!

Yep, 25% on the doubles for Chizzy - not great.

If, for whatever reason, you don't have access to a television or if your internet is too slow to load the live feed above, Peter Wright has a yellow mowhawk tonight.

Mellow.

Thanks Gary.

Mark Webster
2008 BDO world champion

He did well, because Dave was on the comeback.

Gary took out a good finish and deserved to win.

Another win should be enough.

What a way to get over the line - a 124 finish on the bull!

Gary Anderson keeps his chances of making it through to Sunday's semi-finals alive.

For Chizzy, it's not over mathematically, but he's in real trouble after two defeats today.
