Chisnall recovers from set down to defeat Brown

Dave Chisnall is through to the Last 32 at the PDC World Darts Championship after seeing off Keegan Brown in a 3-1 victory.

Chisnall though had to recover from a set down to defeat 'The Needle' with six 180's and a 97.5 average for the St Helens ace.

The first set saw Chisnall left to rue a missed dart at double for the set in the deciding leg and Brown hit double 10 to edge through 3-2.

Next time around, it was Brown's time to miss a set dart in the deciding leg. This allowed Chisnall in to hit double 10 to level the match.

It was a lot easier next time around for Chisnall as he sealed the third set 3-1 with a 144 checkout to go in front.

In the following set, Chisnall broke throw to make it 2-2 on double nine and then with Brown sat on 90, Chisnall pinned double 12 for the win.
