Bunting. I quite fancy Stephen We are really good friends and we

staying over at his house. He telephoned me before the match and

he always looks after young players. I paid for it but I could not go

Lakeside get ready. It is the The reigning master and the number

:03:57.:04:07.
:04:07.:04:46.

one in the world, it is the The cracking. They both held all but

:04:46.:04:51.

one leg with the darts and that meant it was one set each. Going

:04:51.:04:58.

into the third was a massive moment. A 16 and check out in the first leg.

:04:58.:05:08.
:05:08.:05:09.

The biggest of the tournament in -- so far. -- 167 checkout. The No. 1

:05:09.:05:15.

seed had these to go 3-1 ahead. That would have been unassailable.

:05:15.:05:23.

Darryl Fitton, softly-spoken and a gentle giant. He had to attempt to

:05:23.:05:29.

take out the double 18 to make it 2-2, despite the fact that Stephen

:05:29.:05:35.

Bunting is averaging 97, 100 at times. This came at exactly the

:05:35.:05:44.

right moment. This became essentially a best of three. Both

:05:44.:05:49.

men are averaging more than 90 going into this. We are joining

he has found two. They could switch. Look at those averages four Stephen

:09:42.:09:52.
:09:52.:09:53.

Bunting... It is falling away. Darryl Fitton has been more

:09:53.:10:03.

consistent. But Darryl Fitton only averaging 89 in winning that 4th

:10:03.:10:13.
:10:13.:10:14.

set. And there we go again! It did not last long. His 7th of the match.

:10:14.:10:24.
:10:24.:10:40.

Top? Yes! And perhaps significantly, his last five attempts to get

:10:41.:10:50.

double top had all ended in failure. He is right back in now. If he can

:10:50.:11:00.
:11:00.:11:06.

hold it here it will be team-to him the 5th. -- it will be 2-2.

:11:06.:11:11.

Momentum can change so quickly! Just like that! A brilliant

:11:11.:11:21.
:11:21.:11:22.

response from Fitton. At Bunting breaking his throw. He loves it. He

that he needed that last word two hits the treble 20, otherwise he

:11:40.:11:50.

would have given way that advantage. -- he needed that last dart to get

:12:01.:12:16.

that he did not get a treble last time around, which will mean he is

not on a finished. -- finish. But he is well placed. An important

:12:31.:12:41.
:12:41.:12:55.

at 18. He has given him a bit of a chance. He needs 96 to take the

:12:55.:13:05.
:13:05.:13:10.

second set. It is double 18. He has got another chance. Set point. Will

good. He is just a recharging his batteries as he prepares for one

the man from Stockport. He would have been forgiven for thinking his

:20:04.:20:14.
:20:14.:20:14.

chance had gone. But he is in the zone. He might be in the quarters.

:20:14.:20:21.

Credit to Stephen Bunting following that one. He will make the dozen or

:20:21.:20:31.
:20:31.:20:32.

work for it, and no the stick. -- the Dazzler work for that, and no

that last start. Darryl for the match. Treble 20 he is looking at.

:21:47.:21:57.
:21:57.:22:10.

And again Stephen Bunting now has a Single 15, but double 16. Is that

:22:10.:22:20.
:22:20.:22:36.

quarter finals. Can he find double 14 it to be to the top seed? -- to

:22:36.:22:46.
:22:46.:22:47.

beat? He can! The top seed goes out. Hot a match. Never beaten in their

:22:47.:22:54.

second round, he has continued that amazing record. The Lakeside

:22:54.:22:58.

problem for the big boys continues as at the number one seed is

:22:58.:23:08.
:23:08.:23:09.

eliminated. The Bullet firing That must rank as one of your all-

:23:09.:23:15.

time great moments on the Lakeside stage. Yes, it has been a long time

:23:15.:23:25.
:23:25.:23:26.

since one of those moments. It is in my top five, that one. To beat

:23:26.:23:30.

the No. 1 seed when he is playing that well and that consistently,

:23:30.:23:36.

you must be absolutely delighted. Obviously, yes. I am very tired at

:23:36.:23:41.

the moment. But over the moon and delighted. Everything he threw at

:23:41.:23:50.

me, I kept throwing back. I thought he would beat me with the 167

:23:50.:24:00.
:24:00.:24:01.

finish. I must have the dark double. But I kept plugging away. -- dart

:24:01.:24:07.

double. But now I am talking to you with a smile on my face. People say

:24:07.:24:11.

that you get better as the tournament progresses. Could it you

:24:11.:24:17.

win this thing? Of course I could. We are all just as good as each

:24:17.:24:23.

other. Any of the players tonight could win this tournament. There

:24:23.:24:29.

are so many good players at this level. Many congratulations. It is

:24:29.:24:39.
:24:39.:24:42.

a match we will remember for a long What a result. Nobody is safe. In

:24:42.:24:52.
:24:52.:24:54.

at the first round, the Las Christian Kist. -- we lost. Scott

:24:54.:24:57.

Mitchell could not get past the first round. He has finally done

:24:57.:25:06.

that, but he takes on a Robbie Green. What other magic words?

:25:06.:25:15.

Let's play darts. Robbie Green it started with a lead.

:25:15.:25:25.
:25:25.:25:40.

business. You can see the way he is rushing back, let's get it over.

:25:40.:25:50.

does not want to have to defend that lead. Remember, Robbie Green

:25:50.:26:00.
:26:00.:26:24.

has ever been as far as the quarter for Scott Mitchell. Whatever

:26:24.:26:34.
:26:34.:27:02.

happens, this leg will take a said. for you. Robbie Green with a double

:27:02.:27:11.

18 for the match. There it is. And that is what it means. A quarter

the fight. Coming back like he has done... Dropped it. He is going for

:28:19.:28:29.
:28:29.:28:39.

the treble. He has got two 140s. Very little between the pair of

:28:39.:28:47.

them all the way through. He has given himself a fantastic chance.

:28:47.:28:57.
:28:57.:29:00.

He is on an 11 dart finish. He cannot finish now. But Wesley Harms

:29:00.:29:10.
:29:10.:29:27.

Norris here. -- absolutely crucial. He has split the pair of them.

:29:27.:29:37.

has his own ways. He knows he cannot finish. He has got three

:29:37.:29:47.
:29:47.:29:48.

darts and a great opportunity to finish this one. And it is his! It

:29:48.:29:58.
:29:58.:30:00.

is all square. We have not got any more sets after seven. It has been

:30:00.:30:06.

a great tussle and a great fight from both players. Very enjoyable.

:30:06.:30:11.

They are close friends and it has been a close encounter. This is the

:30:11.:30:21.
:30:21.:30:22.

deciding 7th set. It is an echo of his epic in Canada against Dean

:30:22.:30:32.

Winstanley, almost one year ago to the date. 540 that is, in the past

:30:35.:30:45.
:30:45.:30:46.

two legs. These big scores are coming from these two. Treble 19.

:30:46.:30:55.

Another one. This is a brilliant legs. Four big scores in five

:30:55.:31:05.
:31:05.:31:07.

visits to the oche. A top of the shop finish. The way he is going,

:31:07.:31:17.
:31:17.:31:20.

he is going to get it. 45 after nine darts. Yes, he has done it!

:31:20.:31:30.
:31:30.:31:32.

And 11 work macro finish, and he had to get it. -- 11 dart finish.

:31:32.:31:42.
:31:42.:32:12.

And they needed a drink there, did That will help. It is very nerve

:32:12.:32:22.

:32:33.:33:01.

Yes, that was a good cover shot. of order in Watch has been a

:33:01.:33:11.
:33:11.:33:20.

thriller. The finish is on. 100 47. -- 147. He has taken it before in

:33:20.:33:30.
:33:30.:33:30.

this match. Alan Norris cannot do that at this juncture. Double 16.

:33:30.:33:40.
:33:40.:33:42.

He is going for the bull's eye will stop -- bull's eye. Double 19. To

:33:43.:33:52.

level the match. He gets it! He needed to do it. It is a 3-3, 1-1,

:33:52.:34:02.
:34:02.:34:03.

final set. He has broken him in the first leg of the decider and Alan

:34:03.:34:12.

Norris brakes straight back. does not want to lose the throw.

:34:12.:34:22.
:34:22.:34:59.

Any advantage you can take, you two 140s.

:35:00.:35:06.

A sharp exhalation. You can tell that they are going through the

:35:06.:35:16.
:35:16.:35:16.

full gamut of emotions. Sometimes you do not think you can survive.

:35:16.:35:26.
:35:26.:35:48.

Some of them would have been on the long way back on 200. Wesley Harms

:35:48.:35:53.

knows he will have an opportunity to break back straightaway. And to

:35:53.:36:03.
:36:03.:36:04.

move within one leg. Yes! Some of this has been nervous. And all he

:36:04.:36:08.

has to do is hold his throw and he will be through to the quarter-

:36:08.:36:14.

finals for a third successive year. But neither has been able to hold

:36:14.:36:24.
:36:24.:36:25.

so far in this set. Just picking a winner, I think, an advantage of

:36:25.:36:31.

two darts, I will give it to Wesley Harms. He was brilliant in the

:36:31.:36:39.

first couple of sets. He has fought back and he has got a chance of

:36:39.:36:49.
:36:49.:37:01.

That is Alan's brother Matthew on the left and site. Sitting next to

:37:01.:37:08.

his partner. But make no mistake, these two are gunning for each

:37:08.:37:18.
:37:18.:37:30.

other. That is enough and he knows it. That was a good marker. 104,

:37:30.:37:40.
:37:40.:37:40.

knock at the door. Come on, you can do it. But it is this for the match

:37:41.:37:50.
:37:51.:37:57.

for Wesley Harms. Treble 20. Single 12 and double 16. Going for the

:37:57.:38:07.
:38:07.:38:07.

bull's eye. Yes, there it is. Unlucky. He cannot finish now. It

:38:08.:38:17.
:38:18.:38:20.

is all down to Wesley Harms it. Double eight. That is the one!

:38:20.:38:26.

Absolutely brilliant. What a match. The most enjoyable one so far in my

:38:26.:38:36.
:38:36.:38:41.

opinion. It has been great. It has Well done, Wesley Harms. He makes

:38:41.:38:45.

the quarter-finals of the Championship. My heart goes out to

:38:45.:38:50.

a Alan Norris but he will be back next year. I had stepped out to the

:38:50.:38:55.

water's edge. It is bedlam inside. I am just reflecting on what I have

:38:55.:38:59.

seen so far and we have got one more second round game to bring you

:38:59.:39:09.

tonight. It involves Steve Douglas. He is going up against Tony O'Shea.

:39:09.:39:16.

Steve Douglas had a heart attack Steve Douglas had a heart attack

last month. They split the first two sense. We joined it at the

:39:24.:39:34.
:39:34.:39:39.

of the 5th set to book his place in the quarter-finals. It would be the

:39:39.:39:44.

4th time in five years that he has reached at least the quarter-finals.

:39:44.:39:53.

In fact his record since 2009 is final, semi-final, first round...

:39:53.:39:57.

It looks set fair for him for a place in the quarter-finals at the

:39:57.:40:07.
:40:07.:40:08.

very least, this time round. He is aiming to win a 7th successive leg.

:40:08.:40:14.

He won the third set in less than five minutes. Looking to complete

:40:14.:40:19.

the job against Steve Douglas in double quick time. But a good

:40:29.:40:29.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 64 seconds

oche, but significantly, nowhere to hide. He went for the bull there.

:41:10.:41:19.

He missed it. He would have been on to a finish. Brilliant darts from

:41:19.:41:29.
:41:29.:41:32.

Tony O'Shea. Stunning. Because he had to make the adjustment. It is

:41:32.:41:39.

easy enough to follow it through to the treble 20. Just the treble 18.

:41:39.:41:49.
:41:49.:42:04.

Hit it. Now it is the double 17 and to leave themselves, but he has not

Just look at the advantage he has fireworks, still steady. Steve
