16:15
Again a decider
The world number 19. here forces the fifth leg in the fifth set. He missed double 20 twice, but his first arrow on double 10 was safe.
16:12
Or maybe not
Anderson gives his opponent the chance to break on his own throw, but the Englishman’s nerves fail. His arrows pointing to double 8 and double 4 are just off the mark. So “The Flying Scotsman” can take a 2-1 lead with the third attempt on “Tops”.
16:11
Sure
If Humphries ever gets a chance at a double, he’ll take it. On his own throw, he has once again proven his precision on these small fields. He hits double 12 with the first dart.
16:09
148 finish!
What an exclamation point from the Scot! He comes out of the break really well and checks 148 points. Then comes the fist again, which had just shown after winning the set.
16:04
Made
With a considerable delay, the two-time world champion has now got the fifth set. He plays a 110 finish and finally hits a double with the first arrow again. Humphries was only an extra in this set, even if he led 2-0 to legs. His average was over ten points below Anderson’s.
16:02
Pressure increased
If you throw it yourself, the Scot plays his way back to the fifth set. This time he doesn’t go over his beloved “tops”, but over double 16. He misses the field twice, but hits double 8 on the first attempt.
16:00
But now
Now the veteran has finally made it and secured his first leg in the fifth set. He scores very well again, but then needs three attempts at doubles. He now has 23 (!) Missed throws on the double fields.
15:58
He shows nerves
Oh man, what is “The Flying Scotsman” doing there? He has four chances to win the leg again, but his arrows are not precise enough. So his opponent can get the break, even if he needs three darts for 8 remaining.
15:56
Again the double
The number six in the world continues to have big problems on the outer ring. He can break his younger opponent again, but twice again misses double 20. So the Englishman can defend his attack and take the lead over double 8.
15:51
Rate adjustment
If you throw at it yourself, the number 19 in the world can not be ruffed and equalizes to 2: 2 after sets. His opponent gets a break arrow, but he misses double 20 again. So Humphries can make his 50 remainder over double 16. It remains balanced here, even if the Scot still has a weak checkout rate of 30%.
15:48
Five perfect
However, “The Flying Scotsman” does not let himself be disturbed and hits the Tripple 20 five times in a row. He uses this advantage to reduce it to 1: 2 over “Tops”. Still, his problems persist on doubles because he needed three attempts.
15:47
Fans create a good mood
Now the level goes up again and the fans honor that with loud support. The local hero stays on the trigger and stands with two maximums in sequence 23 rest. He then hits double 8 with the second dart.
15:45
Good answer
The “Cool Hand Luke” has to do the same! His opponent is weak and he is fully there. Anderson puts pressure on him again at 140, but he makes the 57 rest on the first try.
15:44
Match rotated
The favorite is now in the lead even after sets. If he throws himself at himself, he faces 72 remainder, which he identifies in the first attempt. The 25-year-old has to stay tuned because everything is still possible.
15:42
3 in a row
And again the break! Both start with 180 in the leg, only to have problems on the double fields. The fourth dart or the second from Anderson then lands in the desired field.
15:40
Re-break
However, “The Flying Scotsman” cannot take the momentum into its own throw. He is faster in the finish area than his opponent, but he misses four throws on doubles. His opponent takes advantage of this to make it 1: 1 over double 10.
15:38
Strong break
After the start of the leg, nobody thought that Anderson would get the first leg of the third set. Humphries starts with 180 and his opponent hardly gets a score. But then the Scot turns up and checks 104 the rest. It remains high-class here.
15:32
He has to go in there
The gesture from the Scotsman should tell us after he only hit double 8 on the third attempt. In this way he ensures the sentence balance, even if he is still not satisfied with his performance.
3:30 pm
Decider is needed
Everything stays in line. The 25-year-old plays strong recordings and remains accurate on the doubles. He hits double 8 on the first attempt and thus has a checkout rate of 62.5%. Anderson, on the other hand, allowed himself a bouncer and had only collected a measly six points before.
15:28
Safe again
The game goes really fast here. The number six in the world finds its safety on the double fields again when it is thrown on its own. He hits double 4 with the first arrow.
15:27
Luke strikes back
However, the young Englishman can equalize in the second leg. He hits double 16 safely with the first dart. But he is lucky because his opponent missed two chances for a double.
15:26
Bad start
Both players have a hard time getting out of the first break. The 51-year-old will be the first to get the chance for a double if he throws himself at it. He only makes the 32 rest on the second attempt.
15:20
boom
The first sentence is already through! The number 19 in the world secures the third leg in a row with his own throw. To do this, however, he needs three attempts before his arrow hits “tops”. “The Flying Scotsman” can not keep up so far, even if he had three throws on doubles in his own throw.
15:18
Break
“Cool Hand Luke” continues to pace and puts Anderson under a lot of pressure. Although he misses double 20 on 71 remaining, his opponent gives him another opportunity. There he will surely hit double 10.
15:15
Like the fire department
The English are really accelerating here. With 180 and 171 he quickly gets into the finishing area. He hits double 12 on his first try and takes the lead here.
15:13
Game On!
It starts. The 26-year-old opened the game with 95 points.
15:12
Walk-on
The time has come. Both players now take the stage at Ally Pally. Humphries has the right of way. A few whistles can be heard from his opponent. Let’s hope that doesn’t continue.
15:03
Young Gun
His counterpart stands for a new generation. Due to the positive corona test with Dave Chisnall, he only completed two games, but his averages were really good. His duel against Chris Dobey was one of the best of this World Cup. Now he wants to create a big surprise against the two-time world champion.
15:01
Played in
The favorite Scot has fought his way into the tournament. Although he clearly won 3-1 against Adrian Lewis, he was already 3-0 down in sets against Ian White. He turned the game around and then showed a strong match against Rob Cross, where he kept his nerve behind.
14:58
It’s about to start
After this weak game between James Wade and Mervyn King, hopes are high that Gary Anderson and Luke Humphries will show a better level here.
