Luke Littler is due a win.

He won six nights last year and he expected more this year.

It has been a slow start and he'll be looking to put that right.

Luke Littler talking to Sky Sports: "I was just thinking that he'd get over it and come and play because he was in really good form. I'll take the two points and we've got to move onto the semi-final.

"You've always got to start from the first-round game. Jonny will have confidence because he's won. I'll be up for it and hopefully I can go on and win the night."

Next up, Luke Littler takes on Jonny Clayton for a spot against Gian van Veen in the final.

That is world class from Gian van Veen. That is another seismic statement from this incredible talent.

Luke Humphries will be incredibly disappointed again.

Luke Humphries misses two match darts! He needs 48 and finds the first 16, but can't find the double.

Gian van Veen wraps it up by taking out 61.

That game definitely ebbed and flowed. Van Veen was two legs down at points.

Luke Humphries pins a double four to win the 10th leg.

Time for a decider.

Gian van Veen is learning on the job but he's got everything this young man, he really does.

Gian van Veen is now one leg from victory. The game is his to lose.

He begins the leg with a maximum, too.

It is frightening that Gian van Veen has a lot of improvement to make.

That is pivotal!

Here we go...

That is a big leg for Gian van Veen to break Luke Humphries and make it 4-4.

Humphries misses the bull for a 126 before Van Veen takes out 80.

This is a big leg coming up now.

It feels like Luke Humphries has been the better player but if Gian van Veen can break here then the whole narrative could change.

Gian van Veen is keeping himself in this one. He holds his throw to bring Luke Humphries' lead back down to just one leg.

That was a solid leg from Luke Humphries as he throws another 11-darter to hold his throw.

He is averaging more than 10 more than Gian van Veen.

That is better from Gian van Veen, who takes out 102 to reduce Luke Humphries' lead.

That was an important final dart. Had he missed, Humphries was waiting with 64 left.

Gian van Veen has to find a way to stop his darts falling out or skewing up. It is about repetition - all three darts should be the same. His last darts at the moment are not good at all.

Gian van Veen was nowhere near Luke Humphries in that leg. That was one to forget.

He is still all the way back on 211 as Humphries takes out 32.

We were thinking about astronomical numbers and averages but let's just forget about that leg.

Six missed darts at a double, but, somehow, Luke Humphries gets away with it.

He finally pins double five on his next visit after missing it with all three of his previous darts.

That was a 22-darter.

Gian van Veen reponds with an 11-darter of his own. He takes out 87 while Luke Humphries is still on 126.

An 11-dart leg from Luke Humphries, finishing on double 19 as he takes out 98, as he wins the first of the match.
