    Kyle Edmund is fighting a rearguard action in this third set, trying to keep a lid on the Belgian fervour.

    He has to see off two break points to keep David Goffin in sight...

    There is a storm brewing out West.

    David Goffin holds to love to back up his break and the Belgium team captain is leading the fans in an interval pep rally.

    Belief in the comeback is growing in the stands. Is it in the heart of Goffin, the man that matters?

    Even that game there wasn't a case of Goffin playing better. It was the first time Edmund gave away a few cheap errors.

    The first rogue game from Kyle Edmund. 

    His forehand is a nightclub bouncer of a shot - a bruising escort to the exit door.

    It helps him back to 30-30, but David Goffin manages to smuggle the ball away from his hitting zone and milk a couple of mistakes for an early lead in the third set.

    Will that light the fuse on his game?

    The Belgian fans are desperately trying to lift their lift their man off the canvas.

    They shout support and toot horns as Kyle Edmund misses wide and long by an inch on successive rallies.

    But the points are still living and dying on the Briton's racquet. He has the destiny of the rubber in his hands.

    The only thing to fear is fear itself.

    James Gallagher: Has a tennis match ever been won in the first game before? I think this one was. Goffin looks unable to recover. 

    Nadine & Ivan: Smith has the Midas touch when it comes to team selection. Edmund was cool as a cucumber yesterday & is now destroying Goffin! 

    Matt Flecknoe: This is impressive so far, if he can keep this level, Goffin still hasn't turned up! It could all be over.

    Kyle Edmund's forehand is swinging free and easy, no signs of any tightening in his killer stroke so far as the finishline looms, potentially a set away.

    First two points gobbled up by the man from Beverley.

    A bit of a hiccup as a double fault allows Goffin back to 30-30.

    But a simple Belgian error and a deft little dropper seals the deal for the red, white and blue.

    It is unbelievable. He is hitting a big ball and Goffin doesn't know what to do with the forehand, he appears a bit caught up with the occasion.

    Edmund has been thumping forehands past Goffin for an hour now. It's brilliant for Edmund but devastating for Goffin. It looks like Goffin's mind has gone.

    Pinch yourself.

    Kyle Edmund playing tennis from his dreams, David Goffin in his own personal nightmare.

    The Belgian is stinking the place out. He looks a beaten man, his body language looks like he wants to submit and hit the exits.

    If Edmund keeps playing like this, he will be put out of his misery in short order.

    David Goffin's team-mate Steve Darcis looks on stoney-faced.

    Kyle Edmund has two set points and his man is being eviscerated. 

    Extraordinary.

    It is staggering. If this scoreline was flashed around the world, people would think it is wrong. It is remarkable.

    The first sighting of a flute of fizz in the British fans' section.

    Watching this feels like we have all had about six too many.

    Kyle Edmund is just ploughing through David Goffin like an ice-breaker in spring.

    A hold to 15 and the Belgian serves to stay in the second set next.

    Christopher David: Amazing what a lack of expectation does for someone's game 

    Tom Gumbleton: Is this real life, could we go 1:0 up in the final before Andy has set foot on court??

    No need to pinch yourself Tom, you're not dreaming.

    There is definitely an air of panic in Goffin's game now. Is this clay-court decision now backfiring on Belgium?
