Dean Winstanley qualifies for the second round of the PDC World Championship along with Wes Newton, Steve Beaton and Colin Osborne.

Dean Winstanley has progressed to the second round of the PDC World Championship with a 3-2 victory over fellow Englishman Mervyn King.

The 31-year-old got off to a strong start at Alexandra Palace as he won the first set, but allowed King to launch a comeback in the second.

King won the third set with ease, but Winstanley came back strongly in the fourth to take the match to a decider, which he eventually won.

Wes Newton had a more comfortable day, as he ran out 3-0 winners against World Championship debutant Johnny Haines to advance to the second round of the competition.

Tuesday's other encounters saw Steve Beaton defeat Kyle Anderson 3-0 and Colin Osborne register a win against Lourence Ilagan by the same margin.
