    2-0 up already and a break of throw? It's going Phil Taylor's way as things stand.

    What are your darts snacks tonight?

    Here in the office, Gary's got curry while I've opted for some leftover pizza.

    Phil Taylor v Gary Anderson

    Thank you Gary. I'm strapped in for some hardcore darts action. Our MC John McDonald bellows Phil "THE POWERRRRRR" Taylor to the oche and he's followed by Gary Anderson.

    We are moments away from another showpiece game at this year's Champions League of Darts.

    But who will join Mensur Suljovic in the final?

    Phil Taylor v Gary Anderson

    I'm off for a bit, but will be back for the final between Mensur Suljovic and either Phil Taylor or Gary Anderson.

    Jay Freeman is ready to go for the second semi-final. This could easily be the match of the weekend so far.

    Hamish Arnold: Suljovic books his place in the final of the Champions League with a 160 checkout. Cool as you like in his CL debut. #bbcdarts

    He missed a shot at 157 to take the match, Barney hits him with not just the kitchen sink but the kitchen in the last leg.

    He leaves a double after nine darts, but the response from Mensur Suljovic to do that at the end is absolutely heroic.

    Mensur Suljovic 11-9 Raymond van Barneveld

    Mensur Suljovic told BBC Sport:

    "This is my best game of my career.

    "I played well, Barney gave me a chance and I never give up.

    "The last final I played, I lost 10-1 or 10-2, but I'm happy to be playing in the final.

    "I'll focus on my game and keep my patience."

    Mensur Suljovic 11-9 Raymond van Barneveld

    WHAT A FINISH FROM MENSUR SULJOVIC!!! 160 OUTSHOT.

    You simply won't see a better ending to any match than that.

    Barney leaves himself on 32 after just nine darts and Mensur MUST take out the 160.

    Treble 20, treble 20, double top - no bother. The Austrian is over the moon, Barney smiles. He knows he's been beaten by something special.

    *Mensur Suljovic 10-9 Raymond van Barneveld

    What drama!

    Suljovic misses double top for a brilliant 157 checkout and Barney steps in to finish 88 on double 7.

    But The Gentle will throw for the match...

    Mensur Suljovic 10-8 Raymond van Barneveld*

    Suljovic is one leg away from the final!

    The Austrian keeps his cool to land double 10 with his final dart.

    Barney needs to win three on the spin.

    And another one back for Barney.

    He misses bullseye for a magnificent 170 finish, but still has time to clean up on double 16.

    He's back to within one leg. Huge leg coming up.

    David Hickman: It wasn't that long ago that Suljovic was a laughing stock in the PDC, they don't laugh at him now. Proper player. #BBCDarts

    Maria Matthews: Mensur is gonna struggle to get over the line (I hope he doesn't) #bbcdarts #Darts

    Hmm, we're starting to see a little wobble from the Austrian, Maria.

  16. Break from Van Barneveldpublished at 19:27 British Summer Time 17 September 2017

    Mensur Suljovic 9-7 Raymond van Barneveld*

    But Barney breaks straight back!

    Mensur has a rare off-leg in his scoring and the big Dutchman pounces to take out double top.

    He needs to break again mind.

    *Mensur Suljovic 9-6 Raymond van Barneveld

    Is that the matchwinning finish from Suljovic?!

    The Austrian takes out a stunning 110 - single 20, treble 20, double 15 - with his opponent waiting on double top.

    Barney looks broken.

    It's a massive confidence game, this. Any player will tell you that when they're in good form. Mensur's already proved us wrong and he's doing it again.

    Mensur is doing the business. He's been given the opportunity and he's taken it with open hands.

    Barney needs to increase his scoring, he seems flat at times.
