    Looks delicious Caroline. We are off to zap a microwaveable burger with pop tart for dessert.

    But we will be back tomorrow. You can't stop us. Ten-thirty am London time? Agreed. It's a date.

    Bye for now.

    "There is something you should see." A phrase normally reserved for when the dog has left a present on the prized rug, but we have something far more pleasant for you before you check out for the evening.

    First up Klara Koukalova hitting doubles partner Monica Niculescu in the back of the head with her serve. Don't worry, it all ends in smiles. It was a hell of a whack though.

    And in a worrying omen ahead of a potentially quarter-final meeting, Grigor Dimitrov's coach Roger Rasheed beats Andy Murray's fitness trainer Jez Green in a 200m sprint. Rasheed is a unnaturally muscular man for his age it should be said.

    And finally a montage of the five best points from Dimitrov's win over Alexandr Dolgopolov earlier today set to what sounds to me like some M.I.A. I'm open to corrections though.

  4. Saturday's Order of Playpublished at 20:28 British Summer Time 27 June 2014

    Saturday then. No work, a clear run at the order of play, and what a doozie of a day it is.

    Rafael Nadal kicks off Centre Court proceedings against Kazakhstan's Mikhail Kukushkin, before a little bit of Maria Sharapova against Alison Riske, topped off with Roger Federer against Santiago Giraldo.

    Court One has Serena Williams on first, Stan Wawrinka on last and a very interesting match involving Ana Ivanovic and Sabine Lisicki in between.

    The full order of play for Saturday is up on the BBC Sport website for you to pick over.

    Saiqa Shaheen:, external "Another match easily won, Andy's on fire, I think we're heading for another Wimbledon Championship win."

    Carol:, external "Great interview from Andy Murray - Concise, open, relaxed, true sportsman."

    Andy Murray on the support of the British fans: "Once I get out on the court I really enjoy it. I try to avoid it away from the court but on the court it's great, the atmosphere has been great, it gives me a big lift and I am going to need it as the tournament goes on.

    On brother Jamie's win in the men's doubles: "It's a shame we were on at the same time because none of my family came to watch me. I am obviously number two son!"

    Over on Court Two they are still going and it is Tomas Berdych who will be complaining about the light as soon as he can get away with it.

    The Czech sixth seed is a set and a break down and could do with a night's sleep to change the match's momentum.

    You watch that one, as well as Ross Hutchens and Heather Watson's doubles battle, one set all, level in the third, via the streams at the top of this page.

    They don't hang around on Centre Court. Andy Murray and the vanquished Roberto Bautista Agut have only just departed the scene when a big vacuum cleaner machine is out to suck up any baseline debris churned up during their match.

    The net posts were down weeks ago.

    "Andy's performance this week has been first class. He looks like he's hitting the ball very cleanly from the baseline, he looks in great shape and he is moving well. He has a couple of days off now and then he will be ready to start again on Monday."

    Andy Murray: "He's won a lot of matches lately, he won on the grass and he's made a lot improvements. There were a lot of close games and it's good to get it done in straight sets. He's the best opponent I've played so far and as a step up I felt I responded well. There's a few things I could improve on but it's a good first week. I had enough long matches in the French Open to get me physically ready.

    (Next opponent Kevin Anderson) "Tough opponent, like Roberto, he's playing the best tennis of his career, he's made some improvements this year. He's a big guy with a big game so I need to be sharp and return well if I want to win."

    Stephen Hale:, external "Almost perfect from Andy Murray. Coasting into second week of Wimbledon."

    Alex Halpin:, external "Well done Murray making quick work of these matches, get another good rest under your belt now!"

    Nicola Jade:, external "Another great performance from Murray! Stepped up his game again today! Well done Murray."

    "It was outstanding from Andy Murray. He is playing brilliantly. He doesn't need to change the way he's playing. Let's hope he can bottle this form all the way through."

    "It was a harder challenge, it's just that Murray stepped his game even further to make it look like it really wasn't. Hopefully Bautista Agut will learn from this and know he has to work on things because I think he has more ability than he is aware of."

  14. Postpublished at 20:11 British Summer Time 27 June 2014

    Special display from Andy Murray on this sun-stroked Friday evening. His first week has been about as good as you could hope - three rattling straight sets victories, serve broken only once in those five days, physical issues seemingly forgotten, mood unflappable.

  15. GAME, SET AND MATCHpublished at 20:08 British Summer Time 27 June 2014

    Flukey net-cord apiece, and then a dazzling half-volley from Murray set up by drives to either corner. Oh, crackerjack backhand fader down the line, match point. Flat serve, Murray tries to thrash it into next week, clunks into the net instead. Into the net off a perfect deep approach, stop-volley, match point number two. Big serve, overhead away, deuce. BA slips, donks his backside on the turf, goes match point down for a third time. Murray forehand into the net. Backhand cross-court off a second serve, fourth match point. Big forehand, Bautista Agut gone, gone, gone...

    It doesn't look like Marin Cilic and Tomas Berdych are going to beat the setting sun. Cilic, who lost the Queen's final to Murray back in 2012, has just edged a first set that lasted 63 minutes.

    You can see how far they get into that one on the live streams at the top of this page.

    Slightly casual from Murray to allow BA into the game at 30-30, and he gets a little lucky when the Spaniard's backhand eats net off a blocked return. Hello, serve-volley, and Murray is one game away from the fourth round.

    That's a little more in character from the 27th seed, holding serve at last to maintain a fraction of his dignity.

    "I'm pleased for Bautista Agut because he was starting to look embarrassed, like he didn't want to be out there."
