Littler took just 38 darts to romp 3-0 up - seemingly unstoppable.

Wright then bagged two 180s to finally get on the scoreboard.

But the Warrington whizkid responded with his third maximum of the clash - his 24th of the tournament - to go 4-1 ahead.

Wright landed two ton finishes to stay in touch at 5-3 down.

Yet at this stage Littler had rarely looked better - averaging 111 - and still appearing in control.

However, Snakebite broke to close to just 5-4 behind - the first sign of real discomfort for his 17-year-old opponent.

And Littler then blew a strong position as Wright nicked the next leg to level.

Snakebite did much the same for the next two legs to move 7-5 in front.
