Smith comments on overcoming Price and a Cardiff crowd who tended to support his opponents. “With the crowd tonight, with Luke [Littler] there was a couple of whistle, but I don’t blame them,” he said. “I’m sorry that I won!”

Price’s game falls apart at the end and he offers a wry smile as Smith closes out the victory. That was impressive from Smith and a bit disappointing from Price, who couldn’t recreate his semi-final form in the final.

Better from Price, who hits double 10 to end a run of five successive lost legs. Can he mount a comeback?

Smith holds his throw once more, and he’s one leg away. He’s averaging 97 so far against Price’s 91.

Smith hits double top to secure the double break, and this final feels like it’s almost done and dusted.

Smith hits double 10 with his first dart to close out the fourth leg. The Welsh crowd have gone a little quiet...

Smith is the first to beak his opponent’s throw in this final, and Price is yet to find any kind of rythm.

Smith needs a couple of visits to the oche but cleans up double five to draw level – and he starts the next leg with another 180.

Price throws first, and holds his throw after shuffling across the oche to find a route past his own darts to double top.

Smith begins the second leg with the first 180 of this final.
