Is that the moment that decides the match?

A 109 finish one of the rare flashes of top quality in this encounter - and Rapid Ricky starts off the next leg with 180 too.

Two more missed darts at double eight by Ricky Evans.

If I had a pound for every missed double in this match... well I could have a nice takeaway tonight. They've missed 33 of 44.

But Rob Cross was way back in the scoring stakes and Evans takes double eight at the third effort.

Right, will this quarter-final catch fire in the second half of proceedings?

Well, Rob Cross stormed off stage like he was going to give himself a good talking-to.

He starts off with a 140... then a 42. Yep, it's been that kind of match. Neither player can string anything together.

Rob Cross slams his darts down on the table. Neither man is happy and neither man has an advantage.

Back-to-back 180s near the start of the 10th leg signify an improvement in scoring from both players but it is Rob Cross who takes it with double 16.

We're level at the second mini-break.

Ricky Evans is a bit too 'Rapid' for his own good sometimes.

Two very quick darts at double eight go astray - but Rob Cross misses two more and Evans makes no mistake on his next visit.

This match is a long way short of the quality of the first quarter-final between Luke Humphries and Stephen Bunting.

The eventual winner won't care a jot as they'll be in the semi-finals - but the loser is going to have some regrets.

Rob Cross produces an improved leg and only misses one double at 18s before landing his second effort to check out.

Now more doubling disasters as Rob Cross misses three darts at double 10.

Ricky Evans misses two at the same target - but lands the third to hold throw.

Both players' finishing stats are not great, each below 25%.

A nerve-settling double 18 to hold throw for Rob Cross.

Both players averaging only in the 80s with three darts. I say 'only'. But for the quarter-final of a major, that's pretty low.

Rob Cross is not quite at the races, though.

He throws in an absolute stinker of a leg to hand Ricky Evans an easy hold and the underdog leads at the first mini-break.

First to 10 legs reaches the semis, remember, so plenty of time left in this one.

Rob Cross seems to be taking his time out there, perhaps a deliberate effort to slow 'Rapid Ricky' down.

It works in leg four as the former world champion lands double top to comfortably draw level.

That previous leg was a poor standard leg from both players - but it won't matter to Ricky Evans because he won it. And this one is much better.

He races through leg three, landing a 74 finish and needing just one dart at double 16. Confidence bubbling to the surface now.

When you get a lead in a first-to-10 or first-to-11, you can almost ease off at times and go again. You don't feel the pressure as much.

A very scrappy second leg sees Ricky Evans waste two darts at double 16 to break Voltage straight back.

But Rob Cross misses two darts at double 20 and 10.

And then Evans misses three more! And so does Cross!

Evans finally hits double four after both players missed a dozen or more darts at doubles between them. Real catalogue of errors.

Very solid start from Rob Cross as he takes the opening leg against the throw.

Ricky Evans is a crowd favourite for sure. The fans love an underdog.

Rob Cross is usually a fairly popular thrower too but Evans has that maverick attitude and appearance that endears him to the punters.

I mean, he came on to YMCA. Talk about a party anthem.

Should be a good one, this.

Rob Cross has played really well - he looks focused and when he's challenged, he has the answer.

From Ricky Evans' point of view, this is new territory but he will be thinking anything can happen.

He will enjoy the experience and he is a character - he needs to play his best game and get in early as he doesn't want to be in the Stephen Bunting area of going behind to a top player.

There's going to be some quickfire arrows up next folks.

If you've never seen Ricky Evans play, it's a sight to behold.

'Rapid' Ricky has a rat-a-tat throwing motion that takes all of three seconds to release his three darts.

He's steamrollered his way to a quarter-final meeting with former world champion and one-time electrician Rob 'Voltage' Cross who has been even less troubled getting to this stage, with 10-3, 10-4 and 10-4 triumphs.

World champion Luke Humphries, speaking to ITV4 after his win over Stephen Bunting:

"Sometimes I can be a slow starter, I managed to get into a 4-0 lead, I felt like Stephen played well but my finishing was clinical and the scoreline was a little bit flattering.

"My game's in a good place, my scoring is there and if the doubles are there I can beat anyone in the world.

"I think I'm going to have a sleep [before his semi-final this evening]. It's been a long five days for me. [Whoever he gets in the draw], in the latter stages there are no easy games."

Luke was relentless from the word 'go'.

But the key moment was the second leg - Stephen had the opportunity to break straight back with three darts in his hand at a double.

As a professional player, when you've got three in your hand you shouldn't really miss.

Once Luke got the 2-0, 3-0 advantage he was relentless all the way through. Stephen didn't do that much wrong but he made a mistake in that second leg.
