The Scotsman, who was third in the betting ahead of Greece's John Michael at 5/1 to progress to the next round, had moved his dartboard into his bedroom so he could play in peace and quiet away from his three children - and the strategy worked a treat after an agonising start to the evening.

Murray threatened an unlikely comeback from 4-2 down against group favourite Cullen in the opening fixture before losing out in a last-leg decider but bounced back to seal an impressive 5-3 over Michael with a 121 checkout on the bullseye.
