This is quite unbelievable.
Luke Littler, under a Michael van Gerwen barrage, is doing Luke Littler things.

That opening leg feels a long while ago now doesn't it?
A truly sublime 141 out from Littler to re-take the lead.
A few people here in the press room just said "typical Littler".

It looked like everything was going wrong for the Michael van Gerwen at the start, but is the tide turning? This is a superb comeback.
Littler 4-4 Van Gerwen
Oh! Michael van Gerwen nearly takes out 161 to hold. He gets the two trebles but his third dart goes into the single 10.
That leaves him with tops remaining, so, as Littler can't take out 126, he pins the double on his next visit.
MVG has brought this back.

But MVG is fighting back strongly.
This is turning into a cracker.

That came after another missed dart at the bullseye from Luke Littler.

Littler 2-1 Van Gerwen
Much, much more like it from Luke Littler. He gets a 180 in this leg as he quickly wins the third leg.
That was an 11-darter.
Littler 1-1 Van Gerwen
Some mediocre scoring from Luke Littler means Michael van Gerwen is the first down to a double by a long distance.
