    Wayne Mardle
    Former World Matchplay finalist on Sky Sports

    Luke Littler is marching to the finish line. He is four legs away and that has come up quickly.

  3. Littler holds

    Humphries 9-12 Littler

    Luke Littler with a big grin as lands another maximum. He leaves 52 and powers into a three-leg lead after hitting tops.

  4. Humphries 9-11 Littler

    John Part
    Former PDC world champion on Sky Sports

    Luke Littler has a two-leg lead, but for now if you're Luke Humphries you're still OK, you just need to have a little run of your own now.

  5. Humphries 9-11 Littler

    Sam Drury
    BBC Sport journalist in Wolverhampton

    That feels like a huge leg in this final!

    It was there for Luke Humphries, he went for the big fish rather than laying up and then fluffed the set up on his next visit.

    Ruthless from Luke Littler with the 160 out and he's five legs away from retaining his title.

  6. Humphries 9-11 Littler

    Dan Dawson
    Commentator on Sky Sports

    A huge roar from Luke Littler and then has a sheepish look at his opponent. He knows that is a huge moment and he's hurt Humphries there. Can he make it tell?

  7. Littler breaks

    Humphries 9-11 Littler

    Luke Humphries sets up the big fish and leaves 25 with Luke Littler still out on 160.

    Humphries makes of a mess of the checkout and Littler makes him pay with an incredible treble 20, treble 20 and double tops.

    That hurt Humphries.

    Easy from Luke Littler as he hits double four to win the leg and retake the lead.

  10. Humphries 9-9 Littler

    Luke Littler goes 180, 180, treble 20 but misses the treble 17.

  11. Humphries holds

    Humphries 9-9 Littler

    Brilliant from Luke Humphries as his 150 leaves 32 and he hits the double 16 at the first time of asking.

    The final is gathering pace.

  12. Humphries 8-9 Littler

    Wayne Mardle
    Former World Matchplay finalist on Sky Sports

    The next leg is another big one for Luke Humphries. He'll want to stop the rot. He's having some wayward ones.

  13. Littler holds

    Humphries 8-9 Littler

    Luke Littler is flinging these darts into the treble 20 now.

    He leaves 66 and goes around the board before hitting tops for the lead.

  14. Humphries 8-8 Littler

    Dan Dawson
    Commentator on Sky Sports

    That is utterly brilliant from The Nuke. Is that the start of a surge?

  15. Littler breaks

    Humphries 8-8 Littler

    Luke Littler with the first big blow!

    He lands a massive 167 to level up and send a real message to Luke Humphries.

    Well, I messaged you on the night of The World Grand Prix Final which was such a one side match....this on the other hand is finely balanced......these two players are immense!

  17. Humphries 8-7 Littler

    Sam Drury
    BBC Sport journalist in Wolverhampton

    It tells you everything about how good these two are that they're both averaging over 100 and yet you feel neither is quite at their best.

    At this point, if one of them can find that top level for a few legs that could be enough to get this won.

  18. Humphries 8-7 Littler

    Dan Dawson
    Commentator on Sky Sports

    The two Lukes are putting on a show in the final.

  19. Littler holds

    Humphries 8-7 Littler

    Luke Littler sends in his eighth maximum to leave 41. He goes one and double 20 to send us into the break with just one leg between them.

  20. Humphries holds

    Humphries 8-6 Littler

    Luke Humphries needs two attempts at double 16 to take out 89.

    The referee then gives the crowd a little telling off for shouting out at the front when the players are lining up a double.
