This included a 107 average and six 180's as he showed some of the form; which saw him reach the semi-finals last year and also lead the Premier League currently.

'Duzza' spoke afterwards and was in a confident mood after getting through; he also praised the production values of the PDC and Sky Sports in getting the event on.

"I'm delighted with that," said Durrant. "I had a lot of nerves because Jeffrey is a player that you don't want to face in the first round, but I was focused on doing my own thing and I enjoyed that.

"The PDC and Sky have done an unbelievable job and it felt like I was playing in front of a Premier League crowd, it was marvellous.

"I feel good, I feel healthy and I'm playing well, so that's a big win for me. I feel that my finishing now, round about the 112-120 mark, is as good as anyone's at the moment."
