Phil Taylor, Michael van Gerwen and Martin 'Wolfie' Adams will be hoping to build on their winning starts to the Grand Slam this Sunday, live on Sky Sports.

Reigning champion Taylor and Van Gerwen both raced to whitewash victories on day one of the tournament, while Adams announced his long-awaited arrival in the tournament with a dazzling win over Ian White.

Taylor inflicted a ruthless thrashing on Martin Phillips and returns to action in the group stages this afternoon, taking on Robbie Green, who defeated Rowby-John Rodriguez in his opener.

James Wade and Robert Thornton also reappear in the earlier session, starting at 1pm, both with wins under their belts, but Terry Jenkins has work to do after an upset defeat by Jonny Clayton.

As that schedule draws to an exciting end, Gary Anderson will battle Raymond van Barneveld in the closing match of the afternoon.

Van Gerwen, who demolished Mark Oosterhuis 5-0 in his opener, has been pitted against Kim Huybrechts in a potentially explosive encounter.
