Seven perfect darts from Littler. Searle responds with a maximum finish.
He looks like he'll be heading out of the tournament shortly, but that's a great moment for the 20th seed who has performed so well to get to this stage.

Former BDO world champion on Sky SportsThat was just a player having an opportunity when you haven't had many.
When you've been out of a game for so long and a chance comes you just feel so unprepared.

Tried to avoid Phil Taylor comparisons but it's hard not to. The determination to win every single game, and having already beaten some opponents before a dart is thrown.
