Schedule and preview Thursday evening session 2022 Grand Slam of Darts including Van Gerwen-Rock and Humphries-Ross Smith

The second round completes on Thursday night and after a superb night of action on Wednesday, it will be a hard act to follow at the Grand Slam of Darts.

Taking top billing will be a clash between one of the current best players in the world and up there in the all time stakes in Michael van Gerwen facing what many see as the future in Northern Irishman, Josh Rock.

Producing a superb 124 checkout to seal qualification against Luke Humphries that spawned wild celebration, he will now have to bring himself back down to earth and has a certain Green Machine on his radar.

Who lost in the last in the group game to Ross Smith who may have to produce a similar display to that win to stop Luke Humphries in the final tie of the night. While to start the night, Nathan Aspinall faces Jermaine Wattimena with Peter Wright and Damon Heta the surprising casualties in that group.

Following that is Jonny Clayton taking on Alan Soutar as 'The Ferret' desperate for form takes on the resurgent Scot who has been returning to his 2021 top form as of late.
