Michael Smith keeps his nose in front as the players head into the break.

If he can iron out his finishing problems then Anderson still has a huge chance to face van Gerwen in the final.
Great match!
It's another quickfire clash unfolding at the O2 Arena, and it's advantage Michael Smith in the early stages of his match with Gary Anderson.
The 'Bully Boy' has shown very few nerves in his first appearance in Finals Night, and he leads the 'Flying Scotsman' 4-3.

With van Gerwen safely in the final, we now turn our attentions to the second match of the night and it's Michael Smith who is first on stage.
He is then followed by Gary Anderson, and the good friends embrace in front of a huge crowd.
This should be another stunning semi-final.
