    We're still going in game nine. Basilashvili had a chance to wrap it up but double faulted. If Murray wins this game it's all over.

    Swiatek 6-4 6-4 Su-Wei Hsieh

    Poland's Iga Swiatek eased through to round two earlier and she's got a little mushy on social media. The 20-year-old - seeded at seven in the women's draw - writes: "Few days ago, while I was doing press, it came to my mind that it was here, where three years ago I did my first press conference. At that time everything was new on and off the court. Time flies, and so much has changed since then but on grass I'm still in learning mode.

    "Trying to stay humble and just putting the work day by day. It's not easy and I still make a lot of mistakes. And it's okay. Matches like this are tricky, so I'm even more happy with the quality and result. See you in round 2! Thanks for being with me three years ago and now."

    Murray 6-4 6-3 5-7 5-3 Basilashvili*

    All credit to Nikoloz Basilashvili. He looked a beaten man, fought back brilliantly to take the third set and is 40-15 up in game number nine of set four.

    His efforts may all come to nothing, but he can be proud of the fight he's shown.

  4. An epic shuts down...published at 21:42 BST 28 June 2021

    *Otte 4-6 6-3 6-2 6-7 9-9 Rinderknech

    There have been some crazy goings on over on court eight...

    Germany's Oscar Otte and Frenchman Arthur Rinderknech are level at 9-9 in the fifth when play is suspended.

    The winner (a likely quite tired winner) would play the victor in Andy Murray's encounter next.

    Heading to bed at 9-9 in the fifth seems a bit harsh. Can someone not shine a torch on there so they can get this done?

    The fans are energised. They're really pumped up and it's helping Andy Murray.

    There's an incredible energy here on Centre Court.

  6. Murray saves break point to hold servepublished at 21:42 BST 28 June 2021

    Murray 6-4 6-3 5-7 5-3 Basilashvili*

    A backhand deep downtown from Basilashvili can only find the tape and that, once more, takes Murray one game from round two. It's been a brilliant match this one, far more enjoyable and competitive than it looked like being a couple of hours ago.

    A superbly disguised drop shot from Andy Murray sees off the break point. Basilashvili was sliding forward but just can't scoop the ball over the net.

    Next up, ace. Advantage Murray. This would be a big hold and take him one game from glory.

    A wonderful baseline rally ends with Murray going long. He's got to save a break point. Hope for his opponent.

    15-30 on Murray's serve. Are we going to see a repeat of the last set?

  10. Suspensions elsewherepublished at 21:36 BST 28 June 2021

    Play has been suspended on the outside courts as the light can no longer keep us moving.

    Gael Monfils will need to come back and do a bit more as he's 2-1 up on sets against Australia's Christopher O'Connell.

    Great Britain's Jay Clarke has lost the third set against Egor Gerasimov of Belarus and will resume 2-1 down.

    Italy's Fabio Fognini might sleep well as he's just gone 2-0 up in sets against Albert Ramos-Vinolas before the suspension of play.

    Fuel up, hydrate, sleep and get ready for more guys.

    Once again Hawk Eye can't display the action. They've stopped working at 21:00 BST and are in no mood for any overtime. We're going old school.

    *Murray 6-4 6-3 5-7 4-3 Basilashvili

    But Basilashvili is doing all he can to keep this interesting. He wins the seventh game of the fourth with a forehand sent back from where it came from with Murray running in the opposite direction.

    Murray 6-4 6-3 5-7 4-2 Basilashvili*

    A routine service game is very much needed for Andy Murray and that's what he's got. However, the hold to love does end with an absolutely gorgeous drop shot from a tight angle from the Scot that's just too good. Beautiful.

    Murray two games from the finish line.

    *Murray 6-4 6-3 5-7 3-2 Basilashvili

    Hawk-Eye failings, epic rallies, and the game eventually goes Nikoloz Basilashvili's way to keep it close. But Murray still has what could be a crucial break.

    Although the last set shows this one's not over until it's over.

  15. Postpublished at 21:26 BST 28 June 2021

    We're in an epic fifth game, where a 19-shot rally, with Murray having a chance to break and pull three clear, ends with him shooting into the bottom of the net. Deuce.

    What are the Hawk-Eye crew up to? Centre breaks out into a slow clap to almost shame the on-screen replay into working.

    Technology, eh. We've all had those malfunctional moments over the past 16 months haven't we...

  17. Postpublished at 21:23 BST 28 June 2021

    The excitement's got too much for Hawk Eye. We're waiting for a shot to be challenged. The crowd applaud building up to the verdict, then the verdict is nowhere. It's gone home.

    "The review was unable to be shown on the boards," says the umpire.

    Everyone's tired.

    A great start to the deciding set under the roof of Court One as Heather Watson immediately goes a break up on Kristie Ahn, before the match goes back on serve.

    A smattering fans are sticking out the late finish, eager to spur the Brit into the second round - where she would face Sloane Stephens.

    Murray 6-4 6-3 5-7 3-1 Basilashvili*

    The crowd are cheering again on Centre Court and once again Andy Murray has some daylight between himself and his opponent. There's not much wrong with Murray's service game, greeted with huge cheers every time he does something decent, whether he wins the point or not.

    That's 3-1 to Murray, who needs three more games. He's won three of the past four games after Basilashvili had won seven in a row before then.
