A mere 87 out this time. Only two darts needed for it.

Luke Littler is racing to one of the most phenomenal victories you will ever see.

It just does not get better than this. He's averaging nearly 120, for goodness sake.

You can lose...

This is the best darts that has ever been seen anywhere. This is some show.

What can you do?

Just stop it, Luke.

I guess a 127 is slightly easier than a 128...

This is just astonishing. Gerwyn Price is playing in the final but what we're really watching is a Luke Littler masterclass.

I don't know what to say anymore... I just find this irresistible.

Quite frankly the standard is unbelievable.

We've seen some remarkable things from Luke Littler in his short career but what we've seen this week might just top the lot.

Another 180 - his sixth of the match - and that's just the start.

It's a 128 checkout this time: treble 18, treble 18 and then double 10.

It's getting silly now.

That mini-session was won 3-2 by Luke Littler, after a 4-1 opening session, but he's actually opened up a gap on the averages.

He looks set to obliterate Phil Taylor's tournament record average of 106.31, but is the match average in his sights too?

That was 114.99 for Taylor in 2010 so Littler is within touching distance at the moment.

Gerwyn Price is still in this, there is no doubt about it.

He has to give it the big 'un. He is capable of anything.

Gerwyn Price lets out a couple of big roars after taking out 76 to hold.

It felt a little half-hearted and felt as much like he was trying to get himself going as anything.

But this final is not over yet, incredible as Luke Littler has been. The Welshman has to believe even if no one else does.

I actually just don't know any other superlatives for Luke Littler.

It is absolutely ludicrous what he is doing.

Luke Littler is just ridiculous.

Another hold of throw and he is untouchable right now.

He takes out 100 going tops-tops to finish.

Gerwyn Price has to try and slow him down but how, I have no idea!

Big cheers from the crowd as Gerwyn Price stops Luke Littler's run of legs at five.

After the world champion missed the bullseye for another 167, Price takes out 71 to close the gap slightly.

Luke Littler isn't just playing against the players, he's playing against the numbers. He's making them look silly.

When we say unplayable, this is unplayable from Luke Littler.

Honestly, Luke Littler is flying through these legs so quickly that it's hard to keep up.

Another leg started with a 180, another 11-darter and this is turning into a procession already.

Masterful stuff from Littler.

If you're Gerwyn Price you're just thinking 'I need to endure this' and you know you'll need to do something similar.

There is just no let up from Luke Littler.

Boos for Luke Littler.

The Winter Gardens crowd are not happy with the teenager.

Why?

Well, he hits six perfect darts and, frankly, the way he's playing they just expected the nine-darter.

He has to settle for an 11-darter.

The way things are going, I think it's safe to assume that Phil Taylor's record tournament average of 106.31 is going to be beaten.

Luke Littler is flying and he only needs to average in the low 90s to exceed that for the week.

Some incredible averages on show in the opening five legs... Gerwyn Price's is actually higher at the moment.

It is only the 4-1 scoreline that really matters though.

John Part

Luke Littler has strolled into a 4-1 lead.

I am going to say stroll because he's been playing to this level.
