However, Littler pulled off an amazing comeback to win the match from 5-1 down.
Littler had won the opening frame but then swiftly fell behind to his opponent.
Cross went on to play at a “disgusting level”, according to the Sky Sports commentator.
The Kent thrower won five legs back-to-back before Littler was able to get one back.
Littler then won another leg with a brilliant 180 before finishing with a classic double 10.
He then won the two final legs back to back in destructive fashion to win the match.
Cross’ head must have been left spinning after grabbing defeat from the jaws of victory as he lost 6-5.
He had three match darts during the match that would have seen off Littler.
