Darts results LIVE: Luke Littler pulls off incredible comeback to book Austrian Open last-8 spot – latest updates

Smith ends Klose run

Ross Smith is into the quarter-finals in Graz after a 6-2 win over Daniel Klose.

The 14th seed will take on either Michael van Gerwen or Peter Wright later tonight.

Klose had been taking part as an alternate after replacing Gerwyn Price in the draw following his withdrawal from the event.

Littler accuses Ratajski of 'mind games'

Luke Littler has claimed Krzysztof Ratajski was playing "mind games" during their Austrian Darts Open clash.

The Nuke was seen moving his water to the floor during his 6-3 win after Ratajski drank from his bottle the last time they met.

Asked about the incident after the match, Littler said: "Then it appeared on the table again. I didn’t move it. I think he’s trying to play mind games. I just play my darts."

Noppert into last eight

Danny Noppert beats Josh Rock to set up a quarter-final clash with Luke Littler.

The Dutchman claimed a 6-3 victory in round three of the Austrian Darts Open.

Just two more round three matches remain this afternoon.

Rock or Noppert for Littler

Luke Littler will face either Josh Rock or Danny Noppert in the quarter-finals of the Austrian Darts Open.

Rock and Noppert are currently level at 3-3 in their third round match.

Littler up next

Luke Littler is in action next in Graz as he bids to reach the quarter-finals.

The teenage sensation takes on 15th seed Krzysztof Ratajski in the third round.

A win will see him face Josh Rock or Danny Noppert in the last eight.

Schindler advances

Martin Schindler will face Stephen Bunting in the quarter-finals of the Austrian Darts Open.

The German beat Jonny Clayton 6-3 to set up his meeting with the Bullet.

Schindler won his first EuroTour title in Riesa earlier this month.

Bunting dumps out Gurney

Stephen Bunting is into the last eight in Graz after beating Daryl Gurney.

The Bullet claimed a 6-3 win over SuperChin to book his place in the quarter-finals.

He will face either Jonny Clayton or Martin Schindler for a spot in the semi-finals.

Cullen, Van Veen through

The final day of the Austrian Darts Open is underway and we already have our first two quarter-finalists.

Joe Cullen will face Gian van Veen in the last eight in Graz later today.

Cullen beat top seed Dave Chisnall 6-3, before Van Veen saw off Ritchie Edhouse 6-4 to join him.

Daryl Gurney vs Stephen Bunting is now underway as the action continues.

Work of dart

Fans are still in awe of an incredible moment from Rob Collins in the Modus Super Series.

Collins beat Adam Lipscombe 4-3 on Friday but there was one feat in the fourth leg that had everyone stunned.

Collins began his visit with a standard treble 20, but it was from there where things took a turn.

He threw his second dart and it pierced the back of his first, getting stuck in its flight.

This is known in the sport as a "Robin Hood".

But what made the moment even more remarkable was that Collins' final dart then did the exact same thing as all three were caught in one another.

This meant he only scored 60 with what has to be described as a "double Robin Hood".

Littler on the march

Luke Littler followed up his third Premier League night win on Thursday by breezing past Zoran Lerchbache on Friday.

He backed that up last night when he saw off nemesis Damon Heta.

Little averaged an impressive 106 to secure a 6-2 victory.

That saw him book his place in the last 16, where he takes on Poland's Krzysztof Ratajski this afternoon.

Littler doing it big

Luke Littler is one of the favourites to win the competition and he showed why yesterday with a big win over Damon Heta.

The final countdown

Today is the day where we'll get to see who will be crowned the king of the Austrian Open - and a lot of people have their money on Luke Littler.

The Nuke comfortably beat arch nemesis Damon Heta in what was predicted to be a tight affair.

And Littler's confidence will be sky high following his Premier League Darts Night 13 triumph in Liverpool on Thursday.

But the likes of Ross Smith and Josh Rock have other ideas.

Not to mention reigning champion Jonny Clayton who is also in the next round.

Second round highlights

It's been a thrilling day in Graz.

We've seen the boy wonder Luke Littler deliver again.

Ross Smith won an epic battle against Barney to progress to the final day.

While last year's winner Jonny Clayton is also off to a flyer.

And let's not discount the brilliance of MVG and Bunting.

Tomorrow will be epic.
