Evans seemed shaken up as he took control in the second and third leg. With a maximum score, he finally went to tops and he threw it in one.
Also in the third leg, which saw the first break, the double went out in one go. Double 16 was no task for the Englishman either. He seemed to win the fourth leg easily by having six darts for 120, but the first misses followed.
