Charlie Manby’s dream World Championship debut continued as he beat an out-of-sorts Ricky Evans 4-2 at Alexandra Palace to seal his place in the last 16.

Huddersfield bricklayer Manby, 20, is guaranteed a £60,000 pay cheque after overcoming his early struggles on the doubles against Evans and now faces European champion Gian van Veen for a place in the quarter-finals.

It was an even contest until Manby levelled the match at 2-2, with Evans suffering a dramatic loss of form.
