Durrant smashed through Dennis Nilsson in a whitewash win with a 103 average. 'Duzza' has benefited from a day off due to a bye with the withdrawal of James Wade and has returned to the stage with a bang performing brilliantly.
Price could have made similarly light work of Brendan Dolan as he was heading towards a potential whitewash but in the end still came through despite a late comeback in a 6-3 victory over the Northern Irishman.
He averaged around the 95 mark in what was his 100th career match on the European Tour and he will hope some of the form he showed in the early going of the tie can continue into tonight.
