    Tottenham defender Micky van de Ven is in the crowd to watch Ryan Searle bang in the first 180 of this match.

    James Hurrell needs to hit 65 to level this and he nails tops to do so.

    A settler I'll call that.

  10. Aspinall 11th to land Big Fish

    Nathan Aspinall celebrates a 170 checkoutGetty Images

    While we haven't seen any nine-darters yet, we have seen plenty of 170 checkouts - the highest finish possible in darts.

    And Luke Humphries, last night against Gabriel Clemens, became the 10th player this tournament to win a leg by hacking up two T20s with bullseye.

    Aspinall has just become the 11th. That is record-extending number.

    Here's the roll of honour:

    • Rob Cross
    • Gabriel Clemens
    • Brendan Dolan
    • Dirk van Duijvenbode
    • Krzysztof Ratajski
    • Nathan Aspinall
    • Joe Cullen
    • James Wade
    • Gian van Veen
    • Luke Humphries
    • Nathan Aspinall

  11. Rock 4-1 Rydz

    That was an excellent display from Jock Rock. I was very impressed.

    He wanted to make a statement and he looked really focussed when he came back for the second set. His scoring was excellent.

  12. More than half of the top 16 already out

    Fourth seed Stephen Bunting is the highest-ranked player eliminated from the tournament so far - but he is far from alone in being among the big names to bite the dust.

    13th-seed Martin Schindler and 16th-ranked Damon Heta were heavily beaten on Sunday afternoon. So while you might expect the 16 highest seeds to all be in contention for the last 16, the reality is far from it.

    Here are the players in the top 16 who have exited before round four.

    • Stephen Bunting (4)
    • Danny Noppert (6)
    • James Wade (7)
    • Chris Dobey (8)
    • Gerwyn Price (9)
    • Ross Smith (12)
    • Martin Schindler (13)
    • Nathan Aspinall (15)
    • Damon Heta (16)

  13. 'I want to win the title'

    Rock 4-1 Rydz

    Josh Rock talking to Sky Sports: "I am here to do a job and I did my job but I want to send my condolences to the Rydz family.

    "I had to go a set down to wake up because the first set I didn't turn up. I was happy with the performance and the win also.

    "I'm not here to make the numbers up, I want to win the title. If I keep playing how I am and I know I can, I can hopefully win the title."

  14. Rock books spot in last 16
    Breaking

    Rock 4-1 Rydz

    Josh Rock and Callan Rydz shake handsGetty Images

    Josh Rock is in a great position to finish this match off. He's on 157 with Callan Rydz back on 316.

    Rock hits double 16 to book his spot in the fourth round and Rydz swiftly makes his way off the stage on what was a massively difficult night for him.

  15. Rydz breaks with 110 finish

    Rock 3-1 Rydz (2-2)

    Josh Rock is flying and he bundles in another 180 to leave 81 with Callan Rydz on 110.

    Rock has double 13 for the match but misses and Rydz responds with a stunning 110 finish.

  16. Rock moves one leg away

    Rock 3-1 Rydz (2-1)

    Josh Rock needs 57 with Callan Rydz on 88.

    No problems for Rock as he lands another double to move one leg away from the last 16.

  17. Rydz levels the set

    Rock 3-1 Rydz (1-1)

    Josh Rock isn't on a finish as Callan Rydz needs 72 and takes it out by finding the double 16.

    We're level in the set.

  18. Rock holds

    Rock 3-1 Rydz (1-0)

    Callan Rydz leaves 40 from 167 but it doesn't matter because Josh Rock nails the double four to take out 68.

    Rydz has to hold now.

  19. Rock 3-1 Rydz (0-0)

    Josh Rock has the darts in this set so Callan Rydz needs to pull something special out the bag if he's to extend this match.

  20. Rock moves into two-set lead

    Rock 3-1 Rydz (3-2)

    Josh RockGetty Images

    Callan Rydz shows his frustration as he only leaves 153. He can't take it out and Josh Rock moves into a 3-1 lead after nailing the 83 with treble 17 and double 16.

    Rock is flying towards the fourth round!
