Peter Wright and Michael van Gerwen booked their places on finals day of the Interwetten German Darts Championship in Hildesheim on Sunday.

Two-time and reigning world champion 'Snakebite' was trailing 4-1 against local fancy, Martin Schindler, before storming back to win 6-4 - including a 156 checkout, while van Gerwen was also held at 3-3 before racing clear to victory with a 104 average.
Elsewhere, St Helens favourite Dave Chisnell snatched a dramatic deciding leg victory over home hope Gabriel Clemens to set up a Sunday showdown with Michael Smith.
Wright will now take on Krzysztof Ratajski in the last 16, after the Pole claimed a 6-3 win against Jamie Hughes, and 'Mighty Mike' van Gerwen will meet Martin Lukeman, who hit five 180s in a thrilling victory over Damon Heta.
Mensur Suljovic whitewashed Callan Rydz 6-0 in a highlight from Saturday's games and will now take on Jonny Clayton, who beat Scott Waites 6-2, while another pick on Sunday sees Joe Cullen take on Daryl Gurney.
