Draw released for PDC Autumn Series Day Three: Van Gerwen v Hamilton and Lewis v Cross among first round ties

The draw has been revealed ahead of the third day of the PDC Autumn Series with some top ties set to take place in the opening round in Niedernhausen.

Michael van Gerwen who lost in the second round yesterday will look for a title winning return today and he will start against Andy Hamilton in his first round.

One of the top ties also sees two World Champions facing off in Adrian Lewis and Rob Cross. Damon Heta won on Day Two of the PDC Autumn Series and his draws don't get any easier with Krzysztof Ratajski his first opponent on Monday.

Play will commence at 12:00 CET (11:00 BST) with another £10,000 up for grabs for the winner of the latest PDC Autumn Series.
