World champion Peter Wright won the opening match of the PDC Home Tour, overcoming a scare against Peter Jacques.

Wright, who is known for his wacky haircuts, donned an NHS logo on his head during the victory. 

The inaugural night of the newly devised tournament, where players are playing in their own homes and streaming a video live, saw Wright take a final-leg decider to win 5-4 in the round-robin section.

Jacques, ranked 66 in the world, threw for the match but Wright hit back and then finished with a double 20, double 20 checkout.

WiFi issues stopped Gary Anderson and Daryl Gurney taking part and there were more technical issues on the night.

Streaming on the PDC website was down, though fans were able to watch on YouTube and the Sky Sports app.
