Luke Littler next match - Date, time and opponent plus TV and live stream details

Luke Littler will have the eyes of the sporting world on him this evening when he faces Rob Cross in the semi-final of the World Darts Championship at Alexandra Palace.

It has been a sensational rise for the 16-year-old who entered the competition at 'Ally Pally' unseeded. However, he soon made a name for himself by beating Christian Kist, Andrew Gilding and Matt Campbell on his way to the quarter-finals.

Once there, 'The Nuke' continued his giant killings as he beat his idol Raymond van Barneveld 4-1 before beating Brendan Dolan 5-1 on New Year's Day. With the Runcorn-born sensation looking to write more history this evening, MEN Sport has taken a look at how you can follow his semi-final tie.
