Schedule and preview Saturday afternoon session 2022 Masters featuring Anderson, Smith, Cross and Wade

The 2022 Masters continues into its second day of action in Milton Keynes with the seeded players coming into the foray to face off against Friday night's winners.

It all begins with Jose de Sousa who will take on Rob Cross who was impressive last night as his form line suggests in seeing off Brendan Dolan.

It is a tournament 'The Special One' will be wanting to have a run in with many expecting the Portuguese ace to potentially be left out of the Premier League line-up.

While many are tipping Gary Anderson to be in the line-up and he will face Joe Cullen in a tie which will hark back to their prior World Matchplay classic.

Anderson as usual will be an interesting watch in terms of the practice he has been putting in as of late, while Cullen impressed last night winning 6-2 with a 99 average against Daryl Gurney. Any potential slip-ups will be punished by 'The Rockstar'.

While Michael Smith returns after his run to the World final where once again he was on the losing end. He will look to bounce back immediately in Milton Keynes and faces Krzysztof Ratajski who survived seven match darts in reaching this point so knows he has to up his game against 'Bully Boy'.

Finally James Wade will face Dave Chisnall - with the latter breezing past Stephen Bunting in a whitewash win and looking good in the process. He forces a former champion in this tournament who will look to add another major to his collection this week.
