Ian White is through to the World Grand Prix Quarter-Finals after seeing off Darius Labanauskas in a 3-2 victory.
White came from two sets down to seal his spot in a wide open section of the draw where he will face either Danny Noppert or Vincent van der Voort in a match that went all the way to sudden death.
To begin the tie, Labanauskas took an opening break to stamp his authority early on and consolidated it with a 90 checkout. He sealed the set from there with White only averaging 72.
'Lucky D' made it six legs on the spin to leave White sinking without trace. He left 24 with White having a chance to get a first leg which he claimed to stop the rot but it was only a hold.
A 76 checkout saw Labanauskas level it up though. White hit a 180 after going 2-1 up to leave 65 on Labanauskas's throw as he looked to halve the deficit.
Two 140's and finally double two saw White contine his revival and with Labanauskas failing to get off for two turns, he went one away before the Lithuanian held throw to stop the rot of sorts.
Labanauskas started the deciding set with a break of throw in the form of a 90 checkout. White hit back though to leave it on serve with a 136 checkout.
A 71 checkout was missed by White but 146 was by Labanauskas which allowed 'Diamond' to hit double 20 to go one away.
A 139 set up left 167 for Labanauskas and double 10 was hit to force a decider.
White produced a 129 set up though to leave him on double eight and with Labanauskas not able to have a chance at 126, White pinned it first time.

- Cross will likely be No. 4 in the world after the world's. He's been in the quarter's or higher in 7 out of the 14 ranked TV majors in the last 2 years. Neither Williams or Cross played close to what they're capable of in this match.Matilda6224-12-2024
- Was a great match and am a fan of Scott, don't see much of him on TV. How the hell is Cross 5 in the world, he goes out almost immediately in every competition.richieburnettrocks24-12-2024

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
