I was screaming out for a nine-darter yesterday but still we wait.

It's coming today, though, I can feel it.

Krzysztof Ratajski is not the name you dream of for a live texter, let me tell you that.

Kicking us off today in the fourth round is 25th seed Luke Woodhouse and Poland's Krzysztof Ratajski.

These two will see this as a real chance to get into the quarter-finals of the PDC World Championship, where Luke Littler awaits the winner.

Speaking in a press conference after his victory, Luke Littler said he may have "lost" his head when reacting to a hostile crowd during the match.

"I think I lost (my head), it's still on there," the defending champion said. "Two years ago I think I would have started throwing my darts left-handed, but that is how much I have grown and how much I have matured.

"People might say I have not matured, but try to be in my position.

"I can still learn a lot. I can learn how to deal with the crowd, not let as much emotion out, just keep it all in me until that final dart.

"That's the first time I've been at the World Championships and the crowd have not wanted me to win. I will expect the worst on New Year's Day and whatever happens will happen.

"The fans did what they did, I reacted like any other player would, I think I might have reacted a bit too early on after the first set and when I came on for the second set I said to myself: 'Yeah, you've reacted too early here'.

"I just had to get on with the job. It wasn't really at the front of the mind because they want the underdog to win or they want the game to go on even longer."

• Luke Littler v Luke Woodhouse/Krzysztof Ratajski
• Ryan Searle v Jonny Clayton/Andreas Harrysson
• Luke Humphries/Kevin Doets v Charlie Manby/Gian van Veen
• Michael van Gerwen/Gary Anderson v Justin Hood/Josh Rock

Luke Littler v Rob Cross was quite the match, wasn't it?

Not only were they banging in 180s left, right and centre, Littler even had a little go at the crowd, who sent a few boos his way during the match.

Here's what he said after his win: "I'm not bothered [by the booing]. Really not bothered. You guys pay for tickets and you pay for my prize so thanks for booing me," Littler told Sky Sports.

"No-one wanted me to win but I proved them wrong yet again.

"It's not in reach just yet. You've got to get to the final. I'll enjoy two days off then I'll be back on New Year's Day. I spend New Year's Eve and New Year's Day in London so we'll be doing that again."

Yesterday we saw another cracker of a day of darts. Here's what happened:
