    It's been enthralling. Probably not the game many anticipated between these two.

    It's been a proper dog fight.

    Wade 6-6 Cross

    James Wade looks annoyed after missing those darts at the double and I'm not surprised. Rob Cross is right back in this and down to a finish.

    He needs double 16 for the 86 finish and he hits it.

    We're all square.

    Better from Rob Cross. He's down to 78 with James Wade on 101. He needs the treble 18 but drops short.

    Cross eyes at double 20, he shuffles across the oche and nails it.
