So far the evening session at the World Cup of Darts Last 16 has gone the way of the big names with England the latest to book their spot in the Quarter-Finals in Frankfurt.
Facing Latvia duo Madars Razma and Dmitry Zhukov, it was a comprehensive 8-4 victory for Michael Smith and Rob Cross.
It was a comfortable start for the duo with Smith pinning double 20 to make it 2-0 and break throw for England.
But Latvia found their way back into the tie with Razma reducing the deficit to only two legs at 4-2.
That lasted only one leg with Cross continuing to build the lead for England pinning a huge 102 checkout to make it 5-2 albeit with Latvia not on a finish.
Smith again hit with a double eight to break again this time at 7-3 and send them one away from the winning line.
He sealed it in style from there as despite being broken, Smith hit a 111 checkout to make it 8-4 and claim the victory.
They join Wales who opened tonight's proceedings with a dominant win, with only Netherlands left in terms of the seeds entering in at this stage to open their campaign against Belgium shortly.

- And this should be the end of it. He was playing like a w****r and gestured as such. End of.Mysstree25-12-2024
- Cross will likely be No. 4 in the world after the world's. He's been in the quarter's or higher in 7 out of the 14 ranked TV majors in the last 2 years. Neither Williams or Cross played close to what they're capable of in this match.Matilda6224-12-2024
- Was a great match and am a fan of Scott, don't see much of him on TV. How the hell is Cross 5 in the world, he goes out almost immediately in every competition.richieburnettrocks24-12-2024

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
