Anderson 2-5 Price (1-2, eighth set)
Anderson nearly takes out 124, but misses D11 and Price secures 56, with D10. You can see his relief as he screams out at making it.
Anderson 2-5 Price (1-1, eighth set)
Gary Anderson hold his throw by seeing off 60, thanks to D10. He then hits 180 early in the next one.
Anderson 2-5 Price (0-1, eighth set)
No drama at the start of the eighth set as Price gets back into it thanks to a D18.
Set six, Price's average was at a barely-believable 136.6, that tumbled to 89.7 for set seven.
Price's average is still at a sensational 102.3. Anderson's down at 94.
Will that missed seventh set be playing on Price's mind? He should be looking at 6-1 and one set from glory. Now, Anderson has two sets on the board and a slight, slight, glimmer of hope.

Luke Rundle: What is Anderson supposed to do here? Price is throwing some of the best darts ever seen.

Anderson 2-5 Price (3-2, seventh set)
Anderson misses a dart at D20, but Price can't take out 158 and Anderson then gets a must-hit D20. Is that the start of the fightback?
Into a deciding leg in the seventh set.
Anderson 1-5 Price (2-2, seventh set)
Price on D20. No! That's the first time he misses it, by hitting D1 instead. Anderson keeps the set alive.
Is that the first glimmer of nerves from Price? He had four chances to wrap up that set.
It must be hard to not start dreaming of the title when you're close.
Remember, first to seven.
Anderson 1-5 Price (1-2, seventh set)
Anderson has a rare chance at a double but misses D20, Price then comes to the board facing 97 but a shot at D12 is too high.
Anderson leaves 5, Price then misses three darts at doubles.
The Scot then ends a nerve-wracking leg down on double two.
This is the stuff of dreams from Gerwyn Price.
Anderson 1-5 Price (0-2, seventh set)
Another leg for Price, another leg won by hitting tops. Anderson being blown away.
Anderson 1-5 Price (0-1, seventh set)
This is going to be a sensational comeback if Anderson can claw this one back.
But the seventh set carries on as normal with a D20 for Price, that's 12 out of 12 tops for the Welshman.
The pair then match each other with 180s. Boy, this is good.

While no-one would have chosen the circumstances, playing behind closed doors may have helped Gerwyn Price.
His exuberant celebrations did not sit well with all darts fans, and the Welshman told me before last year’s world championship how he was keen to shake off his ‘bad boy’ image.
“At the beginning, I didn't mind the boos but it went too far," he said.
Anderson 1-5 Price (0-3, sixth set)
The D12 then gets hit moments later. A 10-darter from Price. Can't type fast enough.
That sixth set saw an 11-darter, then a 12-darter, then a 10-darter. Sensational.
Double 12 for a nine darter, in a final. No!
Price on nine darter!
