    *Paolini 6-4 4-6 2-2 Eala

    A high-quality game from both players but Alexandra Eala keeps it on serve.

    Jasmine Paolini hits a couple of really nice forehands, including a winner to go up 15-30, before Eala responds with a delicate drop shot.

    The left-hander then gets the ball to dip at the feet of the advancing Paolini and goes on to hold.

  2. Cobolli holdspublished at 15:37 BST 6 July

    *De Minaur 5-7 6-7 (4-7) 3-4 Cobolli

    After a flurry of games featuring breaks of serve, Flavio Cobolli gets back on track with a much needed confident hold.

    Alex de Minaur is struggling with his first serve a bit and Flavio Cobolli is taking advantage.

    The Australian goes into the net to offer two break points, but escapes as Cobolli can't get his returns in play.

    Cobolli brings up another break point at deuce and makes this one count as De Minaur fires a forehand long.

  4. Paolini holds to lovepublished at 15:32 BST 6 July

    Paolini 6-4 4-6 2-1 Eala*

    Two love holds to start the third set for Jasmine Paolini.

    This one is done in the blink of an eye. The Italian will be delighted with that, the more energy conserved to try to break the Alexandra Eala serve, the better.

  5. Eala holdspublished at 15:30 BST 6 July

    *Paolini 6-4 4-6 1-1 Eala

    That lack of pace and power behind her serve means there are very few easy points for Alexandra Eala.

    She has enough about her to ensure it's not hindering her too much, though, even after Jasmine Paolini gets after the serve to come back from 30-0 to 30-30.

    Nice crisp groundstrokes and then a delicate touch at the net from Eala to get the hold.

    De Minaur is stuck in a rock and a hard place with his serve. He's still 52%, he knows he needs to take a bit off it but Cobolli is just ripping it straight back to him.

    Right now, De Minaur can look to test the physicality of Cobolli.

    *De Minaur 5-7 6-7 (4-7) 3-2 Cobolli

    Alex de Minaur responds to being broken by bringing up a chance to immediately break back with a laser forehand winner across court.

    The Australian takes it as following a long exchange of slices, it's Cobolli who makes the mistake as his shot drifts wide.

  9. Paolini holds to lovepublished at 15:25 BST 6 July

    Just the start to the third set that Jasmine Paolini would have wanted.

    Disappointment of the second behind her, she is playing with good intent, hitting the ball cleanly and holds to love.

  10. Cobolli breaks backpublished at 15:23 BST 6 July

    De Minaur 5-7 6-7 (4-7) 2-2 Cobolli*

    Break point for Flavio Cobolli as he sprints to somehow dig a fine winner out across court.

    Alex de Minaur, perhaps feeling the pressure, goes long on the next point and Cobolli breaks back.

    When Cobolli has upped his game in this match, De Minaur often hasn't been able to match him.

    Eala just points to the air, number one. She's saying that she's going to come out on top in this match.

    A shake of the fist from Alexandra Eala and a huge cheer from the crowd as she takes us to a deciding set on Centre Court.

    Jasmine Paolini has been growing more and more frustrated so it's a bit of a surprise she hasn't headed off court to regain some composure and reset herself.

    We're going to a decider!

    Alexandra Eala takes the second set as Jasmine Paolini's return flies long.

    A really enjoyable match and luckily enough for the neutrals, we've got another set to come.

    *De Minaur 5-7 6-7 (4-7) 2-1 Cobolli

    Alex de Minaur keeps popping up with the odd unforced error and another one gives Flavio Cobolli a way into this game.

    He takes the invitation with a lovely backhand winner down the line to send the game to deuce.

    *Paolini 6-4 4-5 Eala

    The crowd are getting into this as Alexandra Eala and Jasmine Paolini slug it out from the baseline, neither willing to give an inch.

    Eala comes out on drop and brings up two set points...

    *De Minaur 5-7 6-7 (4-7) 2-1 Cobolli

    Flavio Cobolli has taken the foot of the accelerator a bit at the start of the third set but he takes advantage of a slip from Alex de Minaur to secure the hold with a forehand winner.

    Phew. There were audible gasps and groans as Alexandra Eala slipped and fell there, but she's fine to continue and the crowd applaud as the Filipina gets back to her feet.

  18. Eala to serve for the second setpublished at 15:16 BST 6 July

    Paolini 6-4 4-5 Eala*

    Job done on serve for Jasmine Paolini.

    A nerveless drop shot down 15-30 gets things back on track for the 13th seed and she holds with a minimum of fuss.

    Alexandra Eala slipped as she tried to push off to reach that drop shot but, thankfully, she is OK and will serve for the second set after the change of ends.

    Alex de Minaur consolidates the break with a breezy service game.

    He's come out firing in this third set after losing the first two.

    Flavio Cobolli held both arms aloft after battling back superbly to take the second set, his team bursting out of their seats in celebration.

    That was a huge effort by the Italian, who is on track for a statement win here. He may even be asserting himself as a bit of a dark horse for the title, on the side of the draw free of favourites Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic.

    Long way to go yet, of course… as I'm soon reminded by Alex de Minaur, as he strikes back at the start of the third.
