It's Nathan Aspinall who is out first to his familiar Mr Brightside anthem from the Killers.
The crowd always loves it and sings along! Asinall laps it up and directs them.
Now it's Littler who laps up the attention! What an atmosphere.
Up next...
It's Luke Littler time!
He's up against Nathan Aspinall. It's eagerly anticipated.

Wright 0-3 Bunting (2-5 in sets)
It's not coming easy for Bunting, but he's digging deep.
First to a finish with 145. But Wright can only get down to 150. Bullet might get six at this.
And he leaves double tops, meaning this 150 has to go. And it doesn't!
Bunting, with three in hand, needs tops... he fails on all three match darts!
Wright, to keep us going, misses two at tops to nick the leg with a 57 checkout.
Bunting finds the double 10! He's a semi-finalist. Excellent from him.
