British No 1 was 1-4 and one set behind before turning the game around
Cameron Norrie advanced into the fourth round of the Indian Wells after coming from behind to see off Japanese Taro Daniel 6-7 (5-7) 7-5 6-2.
The British No 1 battled through to defeat world No 103 in a clash lasting over two hours and 40 minutes.
Norrie was in deep trouble after losing the opening set via a tiebreaker and going 4-1 down in the second, but the 2021 Indian Wells champion rallied, taking the next four games in a row en route to claiming the set, and then broke Daniel twice early in the third to completed the turnaround.
