Evans did finally get off the mark in the sixth leg after Humphries missed three darts at double 14. When Humphries missed more darts in the following leg, Evans had multiple chances to get a break back. He couldn't do so though, with the world champion eventually moving 6-1 clear on double 5. Despite Evans showing signs of improvement, Humphries took the session 3-2 to move 8-2 ahead, just three legs from victory.
