Taylor edged a thrilling final showdown between the two players back in 2004, but there was no repeat of that drama as 'The Power' eased to a 4-1 win over the 17th seed.

Meanwhile, James Wade progressed to the third round with a 4-2 win against Tony Eccles, although it was not a convincing display from the world number three.

Wade struggled for consistency throughout but held his nerve at the key moments to hold off the challenge of his Hartlepool rival.

Next up for Wade will be Dutchman Vincent van der Voort after he beat Colin Osborne 4-1 in Monday's afternoon session.

Paul Nicholson caused a shock when he ousted sixth seed Adrian Lewis 4-3 in their second-round match.

The English-born Australian is making his debut at this tournament and held his nerve in the decisive set, claiming it 6-4.

Nicholson will meet Dennis Priestley in the third round after he defeated John MaGowan 4-1.

In the final match of the day, Barrie Bates completed a 4-0 win over 20th seed Mark Dudbridge.
