"The latest column from Andy Murray is ready for your perusal, and the Wimbledon champion takes you through exactly what he gets up to from the moment he walks off court. On Friday it included a Ricky Gervais warm-down, a game of basketball, a round of interviews and making plans for a rare weekend off."

Just five minutes to go until Rafael Nadal and Mikhail Kukushkin stroll out onto Centre Court. The two have played each other twice, with Nadal winning both and dropping just seven games in total.

David Beckham is in position, with his mum to his right. Can't be long until the tennis, then....

Rafael Nadal has reached the third round at Wimbledon for the first time since 2011, having lost in the first round last year and the second round in 2012. The Spaniard is bidding to become just the second man in the open era to win the French Open-Wimbledon double on three occasion. Bjorn Borg was the first.

There's a break in the rain and the covers are coming off on the outside courts ready for dressing. However, this is still the scene at the outside practice courts at Aorangi Pavilion.

Dylan, the bomb-sniffing dog who has kept Wimbledon safe for the last eight years, worked his final shift at the All England Club yesterday.

Bred by Scotland's Yard's Explosives Search Dogs unit, which is used by Buckingham Palace no less, the black labrador is not only one of the longest-serving police dogs in the history of the tournament but also one of the most fertile - with 27 offspring.

The rain has forced Andy Murray indoors for his practice session, the defending champion knocking up with fellow British tennis player James Ward with Amelie Mauresmo, wrapped up in a thick white hoodie, watching on.

We've just heard that there will be no play until at least 13:00 BST. Whatever happens, we will see some tennis then because the Centre Court roof is on. World number one Rafael Nadal is first up against Mikhail Kukushkin, who has a 1-13 win-loss record against top 10 players.

It's raining again so on come the covers...

Former WBA heavyweight champion David Haye:, external Off to see some WORLD class tennis at Wimbledon!

Alize Cornet, who plays Serena Williams on Court One: "I just want to go out and play my game and try to enjoy myself and that will be key. I think it will be important for me to enjoy it and improve for the next tournament.

"Maybe she will remember I beat her last time - it will help me but every match is different."

Marion Bartoli
2013 Wimbledon champion on BBC TV

"Grass suits Serena's game well and she is playing her first shots very well - her first serve and her return - and I feel she is coming here with more desire to prove she is number one because of her defeat at the French Open. It has been a bad year for her so far by her standards and she wants to re-establish herself."

Serena Williams has won Wimbledon three times in the last five years but she was knocked out in the fourth round in 2013 and has yet to win a Grand Slam this year.

The American, who was dumped out of last month's French Open in the second round, has dropped just five games and spent a total of one hour and 50 minutes on court in her opening two matches.

She plays 25th seed Alize Cornet in the first match on Court One at 13:00 BST.

Progress on Centre Court, folks, as the net is rolled out and put up while on the outside courts, the covers are coming off.

It's stopped raining and I can see a patch of blue sky! Organisers say there will be no play until at least 12:30 BST, but that's only 40 minutes away.

The Royal Box has a line-up to rival the Centre Court schedule today with David Beckham - and his mum - strolling into the grounds in a camel tweed jacket.

Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar is also in one of the comfy seats, along with Tom Daley, Sir Bradley Wiggins, Sir Bobby Charlton, Ian Poulter and David Haye.
