He's in a brilliant position, 6-2 up and he has the darts as well.

Price has tailed off and Littler should complete the victory and book his place in the final here.

Gerwyn Price dominates the leg but misses SIX darts at doubles!

And Luke Littler punishes him with a bullseye finish? He's one leg from the final.

There was a mini-break after that seventh leg and Gerwyn Price returns with a 180 to start leg eight.

The Welshman showing he's not done yet.

A nine-darter. A 170 checkout.

What else is left for 16-year-old Luke Littler to achieve tonight??

Oh yeah, win the title...

Once again, Luke Littler only has one dart at tops to check out 103, with Gerwyn Price loitering on 72.

And once again his accuracy is unerring.

The teenager is two legs from the final.

Sensational.

Luke Littler looked nowhere in the leg, on 350. Then he hits a 180 and two more treble 20s follow before a bullseye clinches a stunning break of throw.

An 'angling' celebration follows - because he's landed 'the big fish' as they call it.

Sensational.

Luke Littler has been clinical on double top all tournament and he shows no sign of wavering now.

No drama for the Welshman in leg four, landing double eight to keep us on throw.

Pressure on double 12 for Littler with Gerwyn Price waiting to pounce.

But the 16-year-old doesn't seem fazed, lands it with his second attempt to nudge back ahead in this first-to-seven semi-final.

Double 11 finish from Gerwyn Price to take out 124 and he lets out a huge roar.

Luke Littler's first experience of the Price roar and he makes a funny face to indicate he doesn't particularly like it.

No nine-darter in that first leg from Luke Littler, though. He's slipping.

Several times against Nathan Aspinall earlier on, Luke Littler only had one dart at a double - and took it.

He starts the semi-final exactly the same way, taking out tops with the last dart in his hand.

As always, the fans are having fun whomever is on the oche.

Luke Littler just keeps taking everything in his stride.

People are going to be talking about him even more but this is another huge clash.

I imagine this is the first meeting between this pair.

Gerwyn Price, of course, beat world number one Luke Humphries - the man who defeated 16-year-old Luke Littler in the World Championship final - earlier tonight to reach this stage.

Gerwyn Price is the man standing in the way of a second successive final appearance for 16-year-old Luke Littler.

Here we go folks.

The semi-finals are a bit longer than the last-eight games - best of 13 legs, so first to seven.

So, here's where we are... one of these four men will be the Bahrain Masters 2024 champion and pick up a £20,000 winners' cheque.

• Gerwyn Price v Luke Littler
• Michael van Gerwen v Michael Smith

To win the match! What a way to win it, superb from Michael van Gerwen.

The only break of throw in the 10 legs played and MVG, as he so often does, finds it at the vital time.

Two darts in hand on 104, he goes treble 18 and bull to seal a semi-final with Michael Smith.

Spare a thought for Rob Cross who averaged 99.53 and did not miss a double! MVG, meanwhile, averaged a whopping 105.97. Unbelievable arrows!

Another hold of throw. That's the way all nine legs have gone.

And there's hardly been a real threat of a break.
