Gian van Veen cruised to a 10-2 win over Ryan Joyce while Gary Anderson clinched a 10-6 victory over Stephen Bunting.

Stephen Bunting booked his place in the last 16 with a 5-2 win over Josh Rock in Group H.

In the field, the Yankees also could try to stress Freeman in a way the Padres and New York Mets didn’t, by bunting to him and forcing him to be more involved defensively.

Meanwhile, reigning champion Luke Humphries fought back from a set and two legs down to beat Masters winner Stephen Bunting 2-1.

Bunting won the first five legs against the world number one but missed a double 16 to win the match and watched on as Humphries took the next three legs to level, before pulling clear.
