Murray wins the first point thanks to a drop shot with lashings of back spin. And then a return which Murray catches on the up, but Troicki plays long.

The Serb levels up though - a couple of sloppy points from the Scot. And then an ace down the middle puts him in the box seat.

It goes to deuce, then advantage Troicki, who is in at the net and stuns a drop-shot backhand to hold.

No problems for Murray, who will now get at least a tie-break. Chance for a timely break though.

Troicki has a bagful of shots. They're just not there all the time. But he displays a fine serve and volley and then an onrushing, controlled volley on his way to a love hold. The Serb is the 25th best player in the world, to be fair.

Lovely rally. This is a great match of tennis. Remember that cross-court backhand Murray nailed earlier? Troicki replicates it. It's nice.

Murray uses his serve to recover to 40-30, but finds the net from a baseline rally. Deuce. It's not an issue though, he holds coming into the net and landing an overhead.

Troicki, in his jazzy sunglasses, is difficult to read. There could be a whirlwind of emotions behind those dark shades. Does anybody else play in sunglasses?

Murray clips a backhand that is called out. Murray challenges - it would put him on break point - but the call was right.

The next one is good though, into the corner and Troicki can't get it back. Ah, disaster for Troicki, who concedes the game by putting a simple volley into the net. He got his racquet all twisted and it was pretty horrible.

Murray rattles down a series of solid serves and makes it a clean-sweep hold.

"New balls please," says the umpire. The ball kids oblige.

At one point it looked like Murray might be having his pre-final nap about now. But Troicki has other ideas. He goes 40-15 up.

But look at this, a backhand on the stretch from the cutest of angles is an absolute delight from Murray. Shame it's not worth anything - Troicki holds.

"Regarding your comments about Murray never looking so good, if you consider his off-court harmony it is tough to argue against what you say, but I remember when he beat Djokovic in the 2013 Wimbledon final his concentration never wavered. That hasn't been the case yet this week although you wouldn't expect that here, but overall it's auguring very well for him."

So much for that shoulder injury. Troicki sends a double-handed backhand down the line with perfection.

And we're possibly seeing the tiniest of mini wobbles from Murray. He miscues on the baseline and then points and talks at something.

Before you know it, Troicki has three break points. The Serb gets a drop shot wrong though and then finds the net twice. Chance gone? Not completely - Murray gives a stunned cross-court backhand a go, but it's wide and then he clips the tape to go a break down.

Troicki deserves credit, after barely getting a look in early on today, he's settled down, and rattles off four big and bouncy serves for a love hold. Murray prepares to serve his game, and as Piers mentioned, has another look at the noisy skies.

A satisfying forehand arches away from the Murray racquet and into the corner in the middle of a straightforward hold for the Brit.

"The only thing likely to derail Murray at the moment seems to be the Sunday morning traffic above our heads. The Briton has had several glances towards the very low flying jets heading towards Heathrow, probably furious that flight paths could not be rerouted."

James Stevenson: Not only is this clinical, getting the job done tennis, it's beautiful tennis from Andy Murray. Good luck Kevin!

Nicola Jade: Was out all day yesterday so couldn't watch any of the Murray match so was thankful to the rain that put it off till today.

Andrew Castle
BBC tennis commentator

"I've never seen Andy Murray look as good. I've not seen him look better physically, his fitness is great and he looks very focused and relaxed, and that's very encouraging for Wimbledon. There's no way he's going to lose today if he's playing this type of tennis."

Murray has really got his lob on today. This time it's a backhand but it goes cross-court again and it's inch perfect.

Now Murray's having discourse with the crowd. A voice, from somewhere, shouts "good shot". Murray replies "ta".

Troicki is digging in though. He wins advantage at the net. Then is pegged back when he can't reach a lovely cross-court forehand on the stretch from Murray. Troicki is seeing almost everything he throws at Murray come back. Two consecutive points are called out and then corrected by the line judge - but Troicki keeps his nerve to win his first game of the day.

Murray charges in to reach a short one - "oh oh oh" he growls as he marches forwards. He gets there, hurdles a big blue box, and then loses the point.

That's actually on of two points for Troicki in this game. He's on a roll... And now a Murray shot clips the net cord and it goes long. Break point for Troicki, who messes it up by spooning the ball into the clouds.

It's the opening Murray needs, who snaffles two points and survives the scare.

"Troicki looks OK. He seems a little bit reticent to charge drop-shots because it was the drop-shot last night that caused him to fall. The backhand might be a bit painful but he's clearly decided to have a go."

And he finds it with ease. This might be over sharpish...

It's Murray's day quite obviously. Murray challenges a long call off his forehand and it turns out he was right - it was in by the width of a gnat.

Troicki is not enjoying this. He puts a point-blank smash into the net. But finally wins his first point in nine. Murray has none of that, a drop shot from the baseline is superb. Set point...

Real test for Troicki now. How much does he want this?

Murray has him legging all over the place for the first point and finishes with another decent drop shot. Then three quick points. Simple.
