    China Open quarter-final latestpublished at 10:31 British Summer Time 7 October 2016

    Andy Murray 2-2 Kyle Edmund

    Edmund pushing in the third, he takes the two-time Wimbledon champion to 30-30, two points away from an early break, but the door is closed. 2-1 Murray.

    Back to the 21-year-old's serve, and boy he's putting some power into the forehand, it's a formidable weapon alright. 

    Oh hello! Andy's got some weapons of his own! He absolutely creams a forehand down the line with the score at 40-0. Next point is his as well, can Edmund hold his nerve... no! Unforced error sends the ball long and we have deuce.

    Oh my, Edmund's forehand really is ticking, it's a brute, Murray getting first serves back in play but struggling with the power shots. And there's the game, no more worries for Edmund.

    China Open quarter-final latestpublished at 10:25 British Summer Time 7 October 2016

    Andy Murray 1-1 Kyle Edmund

    No nerves from young Kyle Edmund, as he almost holds his first service game to love, dropping his first point once the hard work was done at 40-0, then rounding off the game straight after. Impressive.

    That levels the scores, after Murray made similarly easy work of the first game of the match.

    The calm before the storm? Let's hope so.

    Premiership Rugby has criticised England boss Eddie Jones' decision to hold a full-on three-day training camp between Premiership matches this week.

    And when you consider that flanker Sam Jones broke his leg and winger Anthony Watson broke his jaw, you can kind of see where they're coming from...

    Premiership Rugby, the body representing English top-flight clubs, said the format was "not anticipated".

    "Premiership Rugby believes England should not be doing full training sessions straight after a Premiership weekend," a statement read.

    "We would not expect full training sessions to occur during the two remaining two-day England camps planned this season."

    It must be weird playing one-on-one against a mate at the highest level of sport, right?

    Right. Andy Murray says that the build-up to his all-British China Open quarter-final against Kyle Edmund will be "uncomfortable". That's one way of putting it.

    The world number two is a Davis Cup team-mate of Edmund, 21, and regularly trains alongside him during off-season.

    The Scot, 29, beat Russia's Andrey Kuznetsov in straight sets on Wednesday to go through while Edmund beat Spaniard Roberto Bautista Agut.

    We'll be bringing you updates from that match as it happens - which could be rather soon. We're just trying to work out exactly how imminent that will be, but you'll be the first to know when we do.
