Not a classic to open things up in Cardiff, but Rob Cross gets the job done against Peter Wright.

Cross averaged 93.65 compared to a poor 83.76 from Wright, who did not have a 180 in the entire game.

Both players had off-moments on the doubles, with both hitting less than 35% of their darts to win legs.

Can Gerwyn Price and Nathan Aspinall takes things up a step?

Rob Cross misses four darts at double 18 to win the match and it gives Peter Wright a chance.

'Snakebite' has one dart at double tops to break back but he just finds the wrong side of the wire.

At the fifth time of asking Cross finds the double he needs to move into tonight's semi-finals.

Gerwyn Price or Nathan Aspinall lie in wait for Cross.
