    We will be back tomorrow.

    Hopefully with news of a historic day for British tennis.

    The alternative does not really bear thinking about.

    See you there.

    This is a great situation to be in but we know how tough Goffin is and he has the crowd on his side.

    So, after the trips to the likes of Lithuania at the beginning of the century, after being matched with traditional powerhouses, United States, France and Australia in the draw for this year's competition, Great Britain are one measly singles rubber from a first Davis Cup in 79 years.

    Andy Murray beat David Goffin 6-1 6-0 at the Paris Masters earlier this month.

    But this is Ghent not France, this is clay not hard.

    This might be a totally different matter entirely.

    Andy and Jamie head towards the dressing rooms, strolling within a few feet of the Davis Cup that looms alluringly at the side of the court.

    Jamie is all smiles and signatures for the fans. His job for the weekend is done.

    His brother has one more bit of business to see to...

    "We just needed to find a way to win more points on Jamie's return side, we got more aggressive and started to turn it around. It was a great tactical mix-up. I will prepare like any other match for tomorrow. He is a world-class player with the crowd behind him it will be a difficult match. We have two chances to try and win it tomorrow and if you have offered us that at the start we would have taken it."

    There was so much noise, it was mental. We were shouting to each other at times but it's brilliant, and it's what you expect with so many passionate fans here for the final.

    The doubles is done and Great Britain, the Murrays, have won this one. They’ve inched Britain closer to the Davis Cup victory they so, so have longed for. That is a simply fabulous advert for doubles, and for teamwork. That was a demonstration of world class tennis.

    There was a lot of stress and tension. Picking Goffin didn't surprise us and we knew it would be a dogfight but our boys played better throughout and produced an excellent performance yet again.

    The final point saw Steve Darcis clump a return way, way wide.

    That half of the Belgian partnership seemed to fade fast in the latter half of the match.]

    Britain will win the Davis Cup for the first time in 79 years tomorrow if Andy Murray beats David Goffin or if the Britain number two singles player - at the moment Kyle Edmund - beats his Belgian opponent - most probably Steve Darcis.

    Job's a good'un.

    The Murrays came through a situation that threatened to get right out of hand.

    Belgium 1-2 Dunblane.

    Steve Darcis is suddenly looking weary and worn...

    Great Britain plunder his serve for two break points at 15-40.

    David Goffin dribbles a volley into the net.

    Great Britain a double break up and Jamie Murray will serve to put Great Britain ahead on the tie's scoreboard for the first time.

    The Andy Murray serve is tied down tight.

    The Belgian pair look like tail-enders caught in the full beam of Pakistani fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar as they fold out to love, struggling to get a return back into court.

    The students in the British section expend some of that boundless energy on a chorus in praise of Murray minor.

    I might be imagining things but didn’t we say that that previous game was the one that mattered when we look back? Seven break points saved from 0-40 down. That’s a real feather in Jamie Murray's cap

    Belgium rattle on to 40-0 as the Brits catch their breath in the wake of that titanic tussle in the previous game.

    A lovely volley from Jamie Murray splits the Belgian pair down the middle and throws a brief spanner in the spokes.

    But David Goffin, with a lovely feel forehand down the line seals the deal.

    A heroic effort from the Brits in that game, particularly from Jamie Murray to dig it out.

    Might that be the game wot won it for Great Britain?

    Andy and Jamie Murray defend seven break points to deny the Belgians the immediate break back.

    Andy sealed it with a deft little tickle volley out of reach and almost under the umpire's chair.
