Now this is a big leg.

And Wright takes it to square the match at 3-3!

Anderson's got to wake up, he's gotten too sloppy in the last couple of sets

Things looking a lot brighter for Snakebite all of a sudden.

Fantastic 157 finish from Anderson to take the seventh set!

That was pure class.

Took the set against the throw; surely this match is beyond Wright now.

Did they say 58 darts missed at doubles? Both still averaging over 100 despite the missed doubles, incredible standard!

Anderson 4-3 ahead after that brilliant 157.

Amazing 157 that, Wright still throwing some chances away here.

Agreed. All over bar the shouting. And there's a lot of that.

Anderson one set away from a third consecutive final. Would be a great achievement to win three in a row with the quality in depth these days.... Even more so with Michael Van Gerwen around.

So are we rooting for Ando to get a third successive title or are there any MvG fans among us? I do wish he would change his shirt - I hate that shade of green,

MvG I'll be cheering for, now Wadey and Snakebite seem to be on their way.

I just think MvG deserves another too and of course it will happen and a lot more I would think

Are bookies taking bets on Wright to never win a TV event?

Third World Championship final running for Gary Anderson!

Bridge too far once again for Peter Wright - he had his chances but missed too many doubles, particularly in important legs and particularly in that crucial middle period of the match once he had drawn level.

Again the questions over Peter Wright's ability to go from elite player to major winner stay unanswered.

If the final is to be Anderson v Van Gerwen I just hope that it's a great final. If they both play to the top of their game then it could be one of the greatest finals of all time. I wouldn't mind who won.

If Gary Anderson wins tomorrow's final, he'll become only the third player to win the World Championship in three successive years after Eric Bristow and Phil Taylor.

And do you know who the last two players to beat Anderson at the Worlds are?

Michael van Gerwen and Raymond van Barneveld.

Maybe it's because he was born in Scotland?

That petered out rather disappointingly in the end. Thought we were all set for an epic at 3-3 but Wright dropped off badly. The danger signs were there with those missed doubles from the beginning, in retrospect.
