Luke Littler continued the defence of his World Matchplay title with a tense 11-8 win over Nathan Aspinall in Blackpool.
The reigning champion produced a nine-dart finish in the opening leg, coming incredibly close to a second nine darter within four legs.
Aspinall fought back from 7-5 down just as it looked like the match was getting away from him, and himself managed a 170 checkout, though Littler ultimately proved too strong.

Littler, who progresses to the quarter-final, told Sky Sports: "That was amazing. That's the best game me and Nathan have had.
"Seeing the averages, I thought his was going to be a bit better. He gave it his all.
"His 170 was the best ever hit against me, fair play to Nathan Aspinall. I'm glad to take part in such an amazing game."
