    Budkov Kjaer 4-6 2-1 Norrie*

    Nicolai Budkov Kjaer can't believe that. He throws his racquet up and puts his hands on his head. I don't think Cameron Norrie can believe it either, but all he gives away is a wry smile.

    The British number one thinks he's caught out Budkov Kjaer with a drop shot, but the 19-year-old gets there and dinks it over again. It looks unreachable but somehow, Norrie angles it back across the court and pinches the line. The crowd loved that one.

    But Norrie isn't out of danger yet. We go to deuce.

    But Budkov Kjaer pulls himself though and a timely ace makes sure he avoids losing a fourth successive game.

    That's how you do it! After missing the first point, Cameron Norrie gets himself back in the game and sends down two huge serves that Nicolai Budkov Kjaer can only dream of returning.

    Norrie takes the opener after 38 minutes. Not quite as fast as Jack Draper earlier on, but he won't mind that.

    But the British number two switches things up and makes his way to the net, where he is able to smash home a winner - well out of Budkov Kjaer's reach.

    The Norwegian plants the next point into the net and we remain on serve.

    Budkov Kjaer 2-1 Norrie*

    Budkov Kjaer 1-0 Norrie*

    Nicolai Budkov Kjaer might only be ranked 133rd in the world, but the 19-year-old is on the up.

    He won four Challenger titles last year and he made his Grand Slam debut at the Australian Open last month, losing to American Reilly Opelka in the first round after getting through qualifying.

    He battles through his first service game to grab the hold and settle any nerves.

  20. Postpublished at 18:42 GMT 5 February

    *Budkov Kjaer 0-0 Norrie

    Cameron Norrie is on court and ready to go. Can he sweep aside Nicolai Budkov Kjaer as easily as Jack Draper just did with Viktor Durasovic?

    That helped to get the visiting British fans in a good mood and they've burst out the bagpipes to drown out any Norwegian support.

    Budkov Kjaer will serve first to get us under way.
