Normally Van Gerwen is amazing at closing games out but you can hear how frustrated he is.
Van Gerwen 6-4 Van Veen
Michael van Gerwen will be mightily relieved as he converts his first dart at a double.

Michael van Gerwen's first dart at a double was an absolute bus ride away.
Van Gerwen 5-4 Van Veen

He gets another chance to break, though, and takes it... just about.
He nearly busts himself before hitting double three.
Van Gerwen 4-4 Van Veen
More frustration on the doubles for Michael van Gerwen as two darts at double top going astray.
Gian van Veen is waiting to pounce and sets himself up for a double top chance of his own with a treble 15.
Double top is hit at the first attempt and the 21-year-old levels.

Michael van Gerwen has offered up chances, one that has been taken, but he's got his nose in front.

I'm not quite sure of the thinking of Michael van Gerwen this evening.
Van Gerwen 3-3 Van Veen
A let off for Michael van Gerwen as he needlessly goes for the bullseye, misses and costs himself a shot at a double.
However, Gian van Veen misses two darts for the leg and MVG is able to come back and clear up a mess of his own making.
Van Gerwen 2-3 Van Veen

Gian van Veen takes the lead for them first time since the opening leg.
Van Gerwen 2-3 Van Veen
Michael van Gerwen's trouble on the doubles continue, he misses double 11 for the break and has now hit just two of 15 doubles.
It gives Gian van Veen a chance at double top and he takes it at the second attempt.
Van Gerwen 2-2 Van Veen
Incredible set up from Gian van Veen!
Treble 20, treble 18, treble 16 to leave 16.
Michael van Gerwen, who had been bossing that leg, misses double eight but Van Veen makes no such mistake.
It's all tied up again.
Van Gerwen 2-1 Van Veen
Image source, Kelly Deckers/PDCBig celebration from Michael van Gerwen as he hits double eight at the second attempt to gain the early advantage.
He is struggling with his doubles but has been fantastic when dropping down to treble 19 and that has helped him get into positions where missing a couple of doubles hasn't been too costly.
Van Gerwen 1-1 Van Veen

Michael van Gerwen has had the weight of expectation on him for a decade and he has just dealt with it.
Van Gerwen 1-1 Van Veen
Image source, Kelly Deckers/PDCMichael van Gerwen scowls after missing double 16 for the fourth time in a row.
His young opponent is a way back but MVG misses again with his next dart.
On the inside, though, and he finds double eight to draw level.
Van Gerwen 0-1 Van Veen

More often than not, when you are as good as Gian van Veen, temperament is what can make you great.
Van Gerwen 0-1 Van Veen
Image source, Kelly Deckers/PDCIt does get better but Gian van Veen misses a dart at double 16 for a century checkout.
However, Michael van Gerwen misses two darts at doubles and Van Veen comes back to mop up.
Van Gerwen 0-0 Van Veen
Game on!
Gian van Veen starts with 59, Michael van Gerwen 45. It will get better, I'm sure...
Van Gerwen v Van Veen
I'm probably just showing my age but Michael van Gerwen wins the battle of the walk-on songs by a landslide I reckon.
Seven Nation Army takes some beating, especially if your name scans perfectly to be chanted alongside it!
