Gossamer touch from Murray, slicing in a backhand dropper so acute that it nibbles the line and then skips sideways clear out of the tramlines. Anderson pummels a hole in the Briton's defence with a field gun serve, and Murray misses with a backhand drilled down the line - laughably called good by the line-judge, over-ruled quite correctly by our umpire. Status.

"You can't ask for much more from Murray but he should do more with his second serve and he should come in to the net more. He is good at the net but he could be great."

Mmm, you could watch that all day, and for decent portion of the evening too - another one of those Fred Perry forehands, popped cross-court with minimal backlift in almost slow motion. Fist-pump from Murray in the direction of his new coach Amelie Mauresmo, and why not.

No sniff of a break in the deluge outside the shelter of Centre Court, and no sniff of a break inside it either. Slight feel of phoney war in these early stages of the third set.

Murray still a study in controlled emotion out there. You might respond that he should be - what is there to rant about when you are yet to drop a set in the tournament? - but he's moving with focus and holding with ease again.

Anderson clattering his first serve down, averaging 124 mph and topping out at 134 mph. That's what those long limbs can do. Level pegs.

Eugenie Bouchard, named after Princess Eugenie, is asked after today's win over Alize Cornet if she has any "princess-like tendancies".

"I can be moody in the morning. I'm not so much of a morning person," she said.

"My fitness trainer carries my tennis bag around. But that's so I don't get tired because I want to save all my energy for the match.

"I can demand a few things once in a while, but I do it with love."

Murray with a swig from his water bottle - looks like some sort of barley water, could be wrong - and thus revived, canters through his first service game of this third set. Still smashing it down outside, and this is not a day to have rocked up in a strappy top and open-toed mules.

"Anderson has no answers but at least it's a little bit of a contest now. The way Murray is shaking his fist shows how much he respects his opponent and how relieved he is to win that second set."

A key game, and a complementary acceleration from Murray - sweet backhand drives, Anderson wobbling, the big man to the net to serve-volley at set point down, Murray fizzing his return, Anderson unable to deal with the pace, volley wide. The blip is over, long live the king.

That's rather more what the Centre Court had become accustomed to: an unflustered hold from Murray, his first in three service games. Anderson to hold to avoid going two sets down.

Still heavy rain outside the dry confines of Centre Court and there will be no play until at least 18:30 BST elsewhere.

Anderson's average second serve speed is almost 25 mph faster than Murray's, and it allows him to canter through a hold after reeling with those two breaks at the start of the set.

"This set is interesting all of a sudden, Anderson has been very professional to take it to Murray straight away after the break and perhaps nerves may be a factor now. Knowing Anderson is willing to move forward may make Murray hesitate a little bit. Anderson is a different guy right now, he is hitting the ball with a lot more authority."

Ana Ivanovic, who beat Serena Williams at the Australian Open earlier this year, believes that the world number one's poor Grand Slam showings in 2014 are down to her burning desire to add to her 17 Majors.

"Probably she wants it badly. Sometime when you want something too much it doesn't always work your way," she said.

"From my experience, the more you want sometimes the further away it gets."

Ivanovic lost in three sets to Sabine Lisicki earlier today.

Now, can Anderson turn this little run into a trot? Murray again errs on his forehand, his third casual netted mistake since the resumption. He's in trouble again now too, top-edging an Anderson cross-court drive for another break chance. First serve long. Second serve... oof, right on the back of the line, and half of Centre cried dismay there. Ace! at last. Forehand into Anderson's neglected forehand corner, and he's hung on. Critical game. Possibly.

Only the third time Murray has been broken in his three and a half matches so far in these championships, and - riled by that loss - he piles into the Anderson serve for 0-30 on the South African serve. Fine deep serve, solid volley, 30-30. Mmm, fabulous backhand pass down the line on the scuttle, but another off-balance forehand costs the Briton again. The break in play has worked far more in Anderson's favour so far.
