:00:43. > :00:50.World Darts Championships. We will start with a player who arrived at
:00:50. > :00:55.the No. 2 Swede. Scott Waites swept all before him at the Masters. We
:00:55. > :01:04.have not seen his best. Standing in his place was X-Factor, Andy

:03:42. > :03:51.Boulton made a name for himself back in June. He got to the last 16
:03:51. > :03:58.at the Reebok, lost 9-4 again Mark Webster. He had a good match
:03:58. > :04:08.against Vincent van der Voort. A world master - he was absolutely

:10:40. > :10:50.yes, we will see what we can do for him. Not sure how much sway we have

:12:55. > :12:58.-- Scott, you require 116. REFEREE: And the first set - Scott

:13:06. > :13:15.man! Oh, isn't he just! As easy as ABC against the X-Factor Scott
:13:15. > :13:22.Waites takes the first set. And this is the form he showed to
:13:22. > :13:24.win the World Masters in Hull this year. Big scores, good finishing,
:13:24. > :13:30.spectacular finishing. An average up and around the 100 mark

:17:17. > :17:24.match, Scott Waites. Is Andy Boulton about to hold his throw
:17:24. > :17:34.with a decent checkout of his own? He can still do it with treble 18.
:17:34. > :17:52.
:17:52. > :17:57.REFEREE: And the second leg, Andy Boulton.
:17:57. > :18:03.COMMENTATOR: I don't think Andy Boulton is playing second fiddle.
:18:03. > :18:08.He just has not had the opportunity three out of the last four legs.
:18:08. > :18:15.That is what this man can do. But when Andy Boulton has been
:18:15. > :18:25.given the opportunity, he's - he has won two legs in the match and
:18:25. > :18:25.
:18:25. > :19:40.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 65 seconds
:19:41. > :19:45.but it will be... Could have been a lot better. But

:20:57. > :22:46.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 65 seconds
:22:46. > :22:55.have to shift up a couple of gears, REFEREE: 120. Oh, he was unlucky,
:22:55. > :23:05.Andy. That's blocked a bit with the

:23:10. > :23:20.COMMENTATOR: So the second set continues.
:23:20. > :23:25.
:23:25. > :23:32.REFEREE: Game on! After breaking back, Scott Waites
:23:32. > :23:35.throws only 60. I wonder if it is the pressure on him?
:23:35. > :23:45.Being favourite. As the second seed?
:23:45. > :23:51.I would have thought there's a bit of pressure that goes with it. He
:23:51. > :23:54.was as the No. 2 seed before. He played Martin Phillips - should
:23:54. > :24:04.have beaten Martin Phillips, but Phillips came back at him and he

:26:01. > :26:08.We start all over again, at one set apiece.
:26:08. > :26:18.Scott Waites needs to move up a gear. Not only to shake Andy

:26:18. > :31:20.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 65 seconds
:31:20. > :31:25.Boulton off, but to stop him coming there at the Lakeside, the serious
:31:25. > :31:32.business is gripping. One set all, one leg all. And not a huge amount

:37:27. > :37:55.
:37:55. > :38:00.but Boulton is matching him in terms of the checkout percentages
:38:00. > :38:10.and in terms of the scoring. He needs to raise his game a bit, and
:38:10. > :38:10.
:38:10. > :39:08.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 65 seconds
:39:08. > :39:11.Well, I've seen many here, matches. He has shaken Andy Boulton. The

:39:33. > :39:39.The beauty of this spot... Well, that is it. A checkout like
:39:39. > :39:44.that on 91. But go back to Andy Boulton's last
:39:44. > :39:49.visit, a whisker away from his own big checkout. Less than a

:29:54. > :30:01.the start of this leg. The momentum is all with him.
:30:01. > :30:05.Things are flowing lovely for Paul Jennings. He may have scored 86
:30:05. > :30:10.overall, but think of the missed darts for a double in the first leg,
:30:10. > :30:13.dragging the average down. Just at the minute he's like a player make
:30:13. > :30:17.their test cricket debut who takes five wickets or scores a century
:30:17. > :30:22.and he comes off after the day's play and the first question is -
:30:22. > :30:28.it's easier than this test cricket lark, isn't it!
:30:28. > :30:31.That will be our first question, that it's easy there on stage!
:30:31. > :30:38.He said he was happy and confident and not feeling the pressure. I

:30:48. > :31:03.
:31:03. > :31:07.perfect first round opponent. Championship he's yet to average
:31:07. > :31:17.over 90. We wonder when we will see the real

:33:15. > :33:34.
:33:34. > :33:44.He has, but he's still got half a chance if he can get a 177 or a 171
:33:44. > :33:47.
:33:47. > :33:52.cracking but he can still take this out and he would be cracking and it

:34:02. > :34:35.
:34:35. > :34:39.with a 60. He think hes will take advantage. There's something about

:39:03. > :39:10.Paul Jennings. Question is, can he relax now he's

:39:20. > :39:20.
:39:20. > :41:00.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 65 seconds

:42:25. > :42:34.including three last year and in Finland, Switzerland and Latvia.
