WORLD PROFESSIONAL DARTS CHAMPIONSHIPS 2020 - O2 ARENA, LONDON

Martijn Kleermaker is wonderfully Dutch

Heā€™s 6 foot 8 and throws his darts at Formula One speed

But Crocodile Dundee has broken him with a 14 darter in the opening leg

Bookies canā€™t call this one

Should be a brilliant final round of 16 tie

And as I type Martijn blasts in a 170 checkout to break back in leg 2!

Great darts by Paul Hogan to break throw in the deciding leg of set 1

Both players playing very well

Paul takes out 126 with a bullseye finish

And now the Crocodile hits a 14 darter to win set 2 3-1

Heā€™s turning the knife

10 darter from the Crocodile now

Martijn smiles at him

123 outshot from Martijn

What a way to hit back

This is a proper shoot out

The original and the best.

Now an 11 darter from Hogie

Ah this is magic darts by the river

Big, big hold by Martijn under severe pressure to win the deciding leg of set 3

He deserved that because heā€™s playing very well himself

2-1 to the Crocodile

14 darter from Martijn to break in leg 1 of set 4

Very passionate Dutch fans in the house tonight ensuring an atmosphere that is anything but flat

This is lovely darts.

Key set there

Martijn led 2-0 and looked all set to level it up but Paul came storming back to win three legs in a row and heā€™s now 3-1 up

Averaging over 100

Paul Hogan is a cracking player.

This is a grand game . Been a decent tournament albeit should be at the Lakeside

13 darter from Hogie and he moves to one leg away from victory

Paul Hogan is into the quarter-finals of the World Professional Championship

And boy is he happy

Himself and Martijn warmly embrace after a brilliant match - great sportsmanship

4-1 doesnā€™t do justice to Martijn but what a performance from the West Bromwich Albion fan

He is playing wonderful darts at the moment. I fear a severe meltdown will catch up with him. Heā€™s probably exceeded all his expectations entering the Tournament.

Walesā€™s Wayne Warren wins his way into the worldā€™s last four

He has beaten Chris Landman 5-3 in the opening quarter-final

15 180s in the match for Wayne, and one full house on treble 1!

Lancashire Rose Liser Ashton is into the ladies final after a 2-0 sets victory over Australiaā€™s Corinne Hammond

A world darts title would have done so much to lift Australian spirits at this catastrophic time, but alas, it was Ashton who was on fire today

If that was a PDC board ???
