  1. We're seeing a nine-darter tonight, I can feel it.

  2. Coming up tonight

    We're being spoiled today, aren't we? Here's what's coming tonight.

    Evening session (19:00)

    Josh Rock (11) v Callan Rydz

    Fourth round

    James Hurrell v Ryan Searle (20)

    Luke Littler (1) v Rob Cross (17)

  3. 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)

  6. 'This is what you dream of'

    Aspinall 3-4 Doets

    Kevin Doets speaking to Sky Sports after his win over Nathan Aspinall: "This was insane. I started off rough. I was lucky to be 2-2. I should have been 3-2 up and he hit the 170. After that, I was on fire and I couldn't miss.

    "This is what you dream of. It's my second year in a row in the last 16 and I want to go even further.

    "After his 170, I just felt like this should have been 3-2 to me. I got into a focus that if I have that focus, I can go very, very far.

    "This year has been a bit of a disappointment. I had some personal problems but they don't matter anymore. I'm here and I feel great.

    "He [Luke Humphries] is the world number two now but in my mind, he is the world number one. When I first started playing darts, he was winning everything. I really want to beat Luke on this stage."

    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
