    Evans 2-1 Manby (0-1)

    Charlie Manby needs 88 but can't take it out.

    Evans 2-1 Manby

    Mark Webster
    Former BDO world champion on Sky Sports

    Charlie Manby is starting to get a little frustrated now.

    That wasn't spectacular from Ricky Evans but it was more than enough. Ricky has just played the bigger moments better at this stage.

  3. Evans takes the third setpublished at 14:44 GMT 29 December 2025

    Evans 2-1 Manby (0-0)

    Charlie Manby leaves 127 from 167 but Ricky Evans can't take out 67.

    Evans misses the double to give Manby a chance but the 20-year-old can't hit the double with two darts.

    He's now missed 26 doubles at darts. I've no idea how he's keeping a lid on his emotions right now.

    Mark Webster
    Former BDO world champion on Sky Sports

    That is class from Ricky Evans. He was just getting frustrated by too many darts drifting into the five.

    He has to be careful or Charlie Manby could run away with this if he sorts out his doubling.

  6. Postpublished at 14:41 GMT 29 December 2025

    Evans 1-1 Manby (1-0)

    Ricky Evans lands a 180 - the ninth of this match so far - but he's not scoring as highly as Charlie Manby.

    On the doubles, though, it's a different story.

    Charlie Manby fires in his fifth 180 to kick off his third set to take control of the leg.

    Ricky Evans is well off it but Manby misses two more at the double.

    That's brilliant from Evans to land the 134 and punish the youngster.

    Charlie Manby has dug really deep in that set. You have to say he deserves to be level.

    Ricky Evans bangs in a third maximum and leaves 137 with Charlie Manby on 130.

    He hits 105 to leave 25. This feels big. He takes his time and lands the double at the first time of asking.

    Game on!

    Evans 1-0 Manby (2-2)

    Brilliant from Charlie Manby to hit 174 and leave 36.

    A big reaction from the Huddersfield lad, too.

    Evans 1-0 Manby (1-1)

    Mark Webster
    Former BDO world champion on Sky Sports

    Charlie Manby isn't showing any frustration when he keeps missing these doubles but inside he must be frustrate. He can't keep missing these chances.

    He's missed 16 darts at doubles already, but he's still averaging over 90. He's a proper player.

  18. Manby holdspublished at 14:27 GMT 29 December 2025

    Evans 1-0 Manby (0-1)

    Charlie Manby loves a 180. He finds his third of the match to take control of the leg but it's the doubles where he's had the trouble.

    Mark Webster

    The fifth leg of sets will be key.

    It is a round that Ricky Evans hasn't navigated previously and he has to start well for me.
