Smith won three of the first five legs and then stormed into a 7-2 lead after a 12-darter and a 75 checkout. Bullyboy missed a matchdart on double 5 in the tenth leg and that led to a comeback from Durrant.
The three-time Lakeside champion took out for 131 and then threw 13-dart leg to reduce the deficit to 7-4. Smith missed two more matchdarts in the 12th leg and Durrant punished him as he hit double 5. The Middlesbrough ace then produced a 80 checkout and a 14-darter to force a draw.
