    David Enever: Great start by both players! I think we all want to see this go 7-6. All set for potential classic.

  2. Anderson 1-1 Price (0-1, third set)

    Into set three.

    A 12-darter to get us going and it could be a massive one for Price as he takes it against the throw.

  3. Anderson takes second set

    Anderson 1-1 Price (3-1, second set)

    Get comfortable. This is going to be a classic.

    Gary Anderson is not behind for long as he takes the second set by 3-1 to level us up at a set apiece.

  4. With Anderson waiting on 40, Price has two chances at D8. Both miss.

  5. Anderson 0-1 Price (2-1, second set)

    A 128 in the previous leg and now a 71 in the next, courtesy of a D10 and Anderson is quickly back in his rhythm. Top quality.

  6. Anderson 0-1 Price (1-1, second set)

    Oh, that's a bit special from Gary Anderson.

    Straight after that 180, he checks out 128, the best of the match so far to stop the Price juggernaut.

  7. The third 180 of the match and a much-needed one from Anderson.

  8. Anderson 0-1 Price (0-1, second set)

    Price takes out 59 and that's four legs on the bounce. He's at an 80% rate at the doubles. If that continues the world title will be his.

  9. Anderson 0-1 Price

    As Darren says, that's a set to erase quickly from the Anderson mind. Still, a long way to go though.

    Darren S: That is the steal of all steals. Anderson has to forget that set, quickly.

  11. Price wins first set

    Anderson 0-1 Price (2-3, first set)

    How quickly this can turn around!

    Anderson missed four darts at a double to clinch the first leg by a 3-0 margin and that comes back to haunt him as Price takes out the next three legs, sealing the set with a 46 checkout of 6, D20. The Welshman, in his first World final, takes the opening set.

  12. Anderson 0-0 Price (2-2 first set)

    Price was facing losing the first set 3-0, he's now clawed it back to 2-2, D20. Lovely.

    He then starts the next leg with a 180.

  13. Anderson 0-0 Price (2-1, first set)

    Anderson misses four darts for the first set and that's a chance slipped through the fingers as a Price D4 brings about his first leg and the first screamed 'COME ON!'

  14. D18 for the first set for Anderson. No. But he'll be back.

  15. Here's the first 180 of the match. Anderson with it and he's made a great start to this one.

  16. Anderson 0-0 Price (2-0, first set)

    Anderson with an early chance of the break of throw and he takes out 76, ending with double tops for a 2-0 first set lead.

  17. A reminder, it's the first to seven sets wins the match. First to three legs takes a set.

  18. Anderson 0-0 Price (1-0, first set)

    Anderson holds the throw, taking out D2.

  19. Gary Anderson gets us going and a few 100s get us off to a high standard already. Anderson has the first double of the match but missed D5.

  20. Head-to-head

    Gary Anderson v Gerwyn Price.
