  1. Rock holdspublished at 21:40 BST

    Clayton 3-2 Rock

    When your luck's out, it's out... or is it? Josh Rock has a bounce-out. He then throws nine with his next three darts.

    He then hits two treble 19s and a bull to apply some pressure.

    Jonny Clayton misses a dart at the bull to win the leg and Rock ends up winning the leg, finishing on tops.

    Josh Rock will have been very happy to see Jonny Clayton have a bounce-out. He responds by hitting a 180.

    Rock is first down to a finish, leaving 91 while Clayton is back on 236.

    Clayton gets down to 151 remaining, Rock can't take out 91 as he hits the treble 17 but then goes inside on tops.

    It takes three more darts at a double for him to win the leg, finishing on double five.

  5. Clayton breakspublished at 21:33 BST

    Clayton 1-0 Rock

    Nearly... Josh Rock needs the bullseye as he looks to take out 88 but strays into the 25.

    But Jonny Clayton makes an error with his attempt at tops, going inside and then hitting double 15 and busting.

    Rock can't see off the leg, though, and Clayton punishes him on his next visit.

    Josh Rock, speaking to Sky Sports: "That 164 kicked me on. I knew what I had to do against Gezzy, he’s been one of the most in-form players this year.

    “I always play Jonny in the first round, I know how to beat him there, hopefully I know how to beat him in the second."

    Clayton v Rock

    Jonny Clayton, speaking to Sky Sports: "I think my hands are still shaking. I got away with one. Luke [Humphries] missed to give me a chance and last dart on the bull, I'm going to remember that for a while.

    "I've lost the last two games to Josh in the last two weeks but Josh is playing well. He's not had the best of starts but we all know what Josh Rock is about. Brilliant dart players."

    When you see the world number one in Luke Littler go out, everyone will be thinking this is a good five-point opportunity.

    Result: Van Gerwen 6-4 Van Veen

    That takes Michael van Gerwen three points clear of Gian van Veen, who is visibly annoyed.

  14. Van Gerwen beats Van Veenpublished at 21:11 BST

    Van Gerwen 6-4 Van Veen

    Michael van Gerwen has two darts at tops, he only needs one.

    Another slightly bizarre match to round off the quarter-finals.

  15. Postpublished at 21:11 BST

    Van Gerwen 5-4 Van Veen

    Wayne Mardle
    Former World Matchplay finalist on Sky Sports

    That was a real poor attempt from Michael for a hold of throw.

  16. Van Veen breaks backpublished at 21:10 BST

    Van Gerwen 5-4 Van Veen

    Gian van Veen finally finds a double 16! He sees off 48 with the single and the double to reduce his opponent's lead.

  17. Van Gerwen breaks to extend leadpublished at 21:08 BST

    Van Gerwen 5-3 Van Veen

    It is either incredible or mediocre from these two tonight. There is no inbetween.

    Michael van Gerwen nearly sees off 127, but hits a single two as he goes for the bullseye.

    He wraps up the leg with his next visit.

    Whoever wins this it'll feel like a relief.

  19. Van Gerwen holdspublished at 21:06 BST

    Van Gerwen 4-3 Van Veen

    Gian van Veen once again has 46 left. How does he do this time?

    Unsurprisingly, he hits the 14 then misses two at 32.

    Michael van Gerwen responds by taking out tops with his second dart at it.

  20. Postpublished at 21:06 BST

    Wayne Mardle
    Former World Matchplay finalist on Sky Sports

    Michael van Gerwen seems to have lost his rhythm here.
