Champions League of Darts: Live scores & updates as Mensur Suljovic beats Gary Anderson in the BBC final

Of course if Wright loses this, he faces a do or die clash with Gary Anderson tomorrow afternoon. That could prove extra heated considering how little they like each other!

LEG 10
Three tons and a 140 reduces Wright's score to 61 and he takes that out in three darts, finishing on double tops.
Wright 4-6 Suljovic

LEG NINE
Suljovic blitzes clear on throw with the help of two 140s and a ton. By the time he takes out 60 in two darts, Wright is still back on 150.
Wright 3-6 Suljovic

LEG EIGHT
Wright rattles in his second 180 when sitting on 184 and on his next visit proceeds to miss twice at double 2 and once in mad house. Suljovic takes full advantage of with a clinical finish from 60, ending on double 10.
Wright 3-5 Suljovic

LEG SEVEN
Suljovic holds with a 12-darter, taking out 67 with treble 17 and double eight, with Wright waiting back on 160.
Wright 3-4 Suljovic

LEG SIX
Two 140s and a ton from Wright gives him a chance at 121 but after setting up a shot at bullseye, he hits the 25. Suljovic then misses one dart at double nine so Wright returns to finish 25 in two darts.
Wright 3-3 Suljovic

LEG FIVE
Fabulous finishing from the Serbian-born Austrian as a single 20, treble 19 followed by double 14 sees him take out 105 in a leg where he'd also hit a second 180 of the match.
Wright 2-3 Suljovic

LEG FOUR
Snakebite gets his 180 tally up and running in a mixed leg of quality but he's able to hold comfortably enough by pinning his second attempt at tops.
Wright 2-2 Suljovic

LEG THREE
Wright comes within a whisker of taking out 161 as he hits treble 20, treble 17 before just missing the bullseye. Suljovic, who previously missed his own attempt at the bull, finishes from 25 in three darts to edge ahead for the first time.
Wright 1-2 Suljovic

LEG TWO
Suljovic nearly rescues a dire situation with six perfect darts thanks to back-to-back visits of 177 but he proceeds to miss five darts at a double, including two at double one. Fortunately for the Austrian, Wright also misses five and so returns to nail the green bit at last to level the match.
Wright 1-1 Suljovic

LEG ONE - Suljovic to throw first
A commanding break for Wright, who checks out from 76 for a 15-darter - which was helped along by two 140s - as Suljovic fails to even have one shot at a finish.
Wright 1-0 Suljovic

1940: Now it's the battle between the two Group B winners from this afternoon - Peter Wright and Mensur Suljovic, who was awesome in thrashing Gary Anderson 10-3.

Despite that performance, world number three Snakebite is , with the Austrian an 11/5 shot to cause another shock.

Verdict & suggest bet: Wright has won both matches between the pair this year and I think his switch to his old diamond darts could prove the difference tonight as long as he doesn't do any mid-match tinkering! .

Overall
Wright 6 wins, Suljovic 2 wins, 0 draws

Gary Anderson 10-7 Dave Chisnall: Leg-by-leg

LEG 17 - Anderson wins 10-7!
Anderson holds off the Chizzy fightback to put himself right back into this tournament with a 10-7 win, finished off with a fine 124 checkout on the bullseye. Considering he was hammered earlier, he could really have done with winning a bit earlier for his leg difference.
Anderson 10-7 Chisnall

LEG 16
Anderson has visits of 134, 135 and 100 but when trying to checkout from 107, he misses match dart on the bullseye and Chizzy pounces from 54 for a 12-darter which was set up by a 140, 180 and a 127.
Anderson 9-7 Chisnall

LEG 15
Chisnall digs deep to stay alive, finishing from 78 in three darts to complete a 15-darter.
Anderson 9-6 Chisnall

LEG 14
Anderson's fourth 180 of the match sets him on his way to a 13-darter, which he finishes clinically with his first attempt at tops.
Anderson 9-5 Chisnall

LEG 13
Anderson nails a 180 plus two more 100+ scores but Chisnall almost steals the leg when narrowly missing double 16 after two treble 18s when on 140.
Anderson 8-5 Chisnall

LEG 12
A fifth 180 from Chizzy followed by scores of 93, 100 and 103 helps him reach a finish first on the Anderson throw but his three missed three attempts at a double prove costly as the Scotsman pins double 10.
Anderson 7-5 Chisnall

LEG 11 - Chisnall to throw first
Chizzy returns to the oche with a 180 straight up before scores of 137 and 134 see him accelerate clear. He fails to take out 50 at his next visit but then nails double five under pressure, with Anderson waiting on 40.
Anderson 6-5 Chisnall

INTERVAL
The scoring has been pretty good but Anderson (average 95.09) has only hit six of his 23 attempts at doubles while Chizzy (average 91.12) has made just four of his 17! Chizzy is 3-2 up on 180s while Anderson has the highest checkout so far at 76.

LEG 10
Anderson is down to 16 after 12 darts but spurns the next three at doubles before managing to get out of the mad house double one at the first attempt.
Anderson 6-4 Chisnall

LEG NINE
The crowd badly need these two to start finding one of those purple patches because at the moment it's rather awkward to watch. Thankfully Chizzy hits a 180 on his way to a 13-darter which is a bit more like it.
Anderson 5-4 Chisnall

LEG EIGHT
Anderson busts from 100 after scores of 99, 140 and 162 put him well clear on the leg and needs another six darts to finish, with Chizzy still on 155!
Anderson 5-3 Chisnall

LEG SEVEN
Chizzy produces a fine 11-darter with scores of 180, 135 and 140 before hitting double 18 at the second attempt.
Anderson 4-3 Chisnall

LEG SIX
Awful finishing. Anderson misses five darts at a double - including a no score when aiming at double five - but Chizzy blows his two chances at tops and is made to pay.
Anderson 4-2 Chisnall

LEG FIVE
Two 140s helps Anderson seize the initiative on Chisnall's throw but he misses a shot at tops to break and Chizzy returns to hit the same double at his last attempt. Crucial.
Anderson 3-2 Chisnall

LEG FOUR
The Flying Scotsman maintains the momentum with a 180 at his next visit but back-to-back 140s means Chizzy has an attempt at a finish first - albeit from 164. He hits two treble 19s but his attempt at the bullseye hits single 2 before Anderson comes back to take out 47 in two darts, finishing on tops.
Anderson 3-1 Chisnall

LEG THREE
Anderson's mood will improve after that as two 140s and another ton help set up a checkout from 76, which he does so in two darts to break.
Anderson 2-1 Chisnall

LEG TWO
The woeful finishing continues into the second leg - but this time it's Chizzy who breaks in 21 darts. Wry smiles from both players but inside they'll be far from happy.
Anderson 1-1 Chisnall

LEG ONE - Chisnall to throw first
Both players land 180s in an explosive start but they take it in turns to miss a shot for 12-dart legs. Chizzy misses a further three darts to finish - two of which on double five - before Anderson nails double four to break.
Anderson 1-0 Chisnall

1855: First up tonight is Gary Anderson against Chizzy as both players fight to stay in the competition and given how heavy their opening defeats were - another loss will almost certainly be curtains.

Chizzy is obviously a much quicker player than Suljovic and that will suit the Flying Scotsman, who struggled badly with the Austrian's style earlier today. He has a far superior head-to-head record against the Englishman (see stats below) and tends to produce his best when he really needs to.

Verdict and suggested bet: I'm going with .

Let's hope for anyone following this bet he plays like we know he can...
