Taylor is calling time on his unrivalled career at the end of a championship he hopes will bring him a 17th world title and the first man in his way was Chris Dobey.

The 16-Time world champion beat fellow Englishman Dobey 3-1 on the second day of the tournament.

"It's the first one, there was a lot of pressure on me to get through", Taylor told the PDC after his match.

It reached 2-2 in that first set before Taylor raised his game to break the darts and take the set with double top.

He failed to take his chance and Taylor settled it 3-1, on a clearly emotional night - the highlight of which was a hair-raising walk to the stage as the 57-year-old was serenaded.

The Power stepped in to land double 16 himself and then won it with another double 16.

Taylor had an average of 96.33, hitting three 180s, while Dobey's landed six maximums and had an average of 91.72.

Former Lakeside champion Stephen Bunting was humbled by Dimitri Van den Bergh, the World Youth Championship victor.

Elsewhere, Belgium's Dimitri Van den Bergh beat England's Stephen Bunting 3-1, while England's Rob Cross booked his place in the second round with a 3-0 victory over Japan's Seigo Asada.
