Match result: Gerwyn Price 3-6 Michael van Gerwen
MvG lands a HUGE 180 at just the right time, edging ahead of Price on the scores, with Price throwing first.
A big 140 forces Price to go for the big fish, and he cannot take it out.
Van Gerwen’s first attempt at 80 goes wayward, and a second at 40 goes wide of the mark on double 10.
Price, in turn, cannot complete the 10 to 5 switch, and then MvG misses the double 5 for a single, meaning he has to split.
Price on 10 does the same, and it comes to MvG to finish 5 for the match.
All laughs between the pair as Chase the Sun blasts out of Birmingham.
Gerwyn Price 3-5 Michael van Gerwen*
MvG is getting to finishes quicker than Price, but ever since the fifth leg, his finishing has been a bit lacklustre.
It is the turn of MvG to win a leg on double 2, and he goes within one, but even if Price holds this next leg, he will have the darts.
Gerwyn Price* 3-4 Michael van Gerwen
After starting the match extremely well, MvG is starting to slow down now, but he has a big enough gap to hold.
Price does not hit a huge roar after finishing on 5, ad he knows he has a lot to do here.
