World number one Michael van Gerwen maintained his incredible standards of late as he averaged 113.47 to beat Dave Chisnall by a 7-2 scoreline, which keeps him level with Taylor at the top of the standings ahead of their match next week.

Adrian Lewis is in third place after he impressed in a 7-3 victory over Peter Wright, while James Wade is fourth after withstanding a late fightback from Raymond van Barneveld to run out a 7-5 winner.

In the opening game of the night, Gary Anderson registered a 7-3 triumph over Michael Smith.
