- 16-year-old Littler holds nerve against Andrew Gilding
- Seventh seed Noppert beaten 3-0 while Cross bests Tricole
The teenager Luke Littler continued his dream PDC World Championship debut by defeating Andrew Gilding to reach the third round.
The 16-year-old was the toast of Alexandra Palace after beating Christian Kist on Wednesday and he was at it again 24 hours later with a 3-1 success against the 20th seed, Gilding. The UK Open champion is 37 years older than Littler but it was the youngster who showed greater composure in the first two sets, with Gilding twice missing a pair of darts at double in the second.
