Bunting to face Kumar after historic Indian win

Key Highlights

• I've dreamed of this ever since I saw Dennis Priestley win the World Championship (in 1994)."Asked about what his victory could do for darts in India, he said: "I've opened the floodgates to a billion of them.

• Kumar was not as flamboyant with his scoring, but proved to be incredibly consistent as the crowd roared him on. Three-time BDO world champion Glen Durrant said on Sky Sports: "It was one of the greatest games I have ever commentated on."It's not just the quality of the match, it's the impact for Nitin Kumar and what it does for Indian darts."Two seeds exited the competition on Sunday - world number 23 Dimitri van den Bergh and 27th-ranked Ritchie Edhouse.

In the afternoon session, Edhouse was knocked out by Jonny Tata, who was also making his first appearance. Former European champion Edhouse was stunned 3-0 by the New Zealander, to taste defeat at this stage for the fourth time in a row. But the same fate did not follow fellow seed Joe Cullen after he eased past Bradley Brooks with a 3-0 win. The world number 32 was in fine form to produce his second-highest average on the world stage with 99.33. Another debutant, Englishman Dom Taylor, progressed to the second round with a 3-0 win over Sweden's Oskar Lukasiak.
