WARRINGTON darts ace Luke Littler will be playing in the first semi-final in Tuesday night's World Darts Championship action at Alexandra Palace.

Luke 'The Nuke' booked his passage to face Rob Cross with a 5-1 demolition of Brendan Dolan in Monday night's quarter-final.

Cross, who came through an epic comeback tussle with Chris Dobey 5-4 to seal his place, previously won the title on debut in 2018 and now the 16-year-old former Padgate Academy student is looking to do the same.

Littler is the youngest ever player to reach the semi-finals.

They are due on stage at 7.45pm, with the second semi-final between Luke Humphries and Scott Williams scheduled for 9.30pm.

Williams sensationally knocked out Michael van Gerwen 5-3 in the quarter-finals while Humphries despatched of St Helens thrower Dave Chisnall 5-1.
