    A ripper of a serve down the middle and David Goffin does well to get a frame to it.

    Andy Murray sees off a break point in style.

    Andy Murray sets his stare to stun after the umpire calls let on a first serve that looked a legitimate ace at 15-0 up.

    Pascal Maria has little choice. The sensor buzzed him and it has a better view than his naked eye.

    David Goffin cuffs a delicious cross-court winner for 30-15, but he needs a few more of those gems to dazzle Murray.

    There is one. A backhand swat down the line. 40-30.

    Murray wide and we are to deuce.

    Nadine & Ivan: A great start by @andy_murray. I'm not sure what Goffin has in his armoury to really challenge Murray. 

    Daniel Marcus: It's Goliath vs David in the #DavisCupFinal. 

    Morgwn C Davies: Message to Goffin. Resistance is futile.

    David Goffin's second serve is an all-you-can-eat buffet for Andy Murray.

    The Belgian is missing plenty of his first serves and Murray has his bib on and is tucking in.

    As we all know, you can make mistakes in such situations. Too much rice, too much water.

    But Murray, after missing a couple in his eagerness, has forced deuce.

    The challenge facing Goffin now is absolutely immense. We know how much Murray wants to win this trophy.

    This is about courage and heart. But Goffin's second serve is a slight weakness and Murray's weight of shot is so much heavier.

    Andy Murray pushes a backhand long at 30-0 up.

    But in reality never looked like letting this set squirm out of his grasp.

    A serve popping with malice arcs down the middle to win the next point.

    Another hammer blow to start the final rally. Goffin manages to pat back in play. Murray powers it back out of play with a wicked wrong-footing winner.

    Two more measly sets, before David Goffin can collect three, and the big pot is Britain's.

    Jack Blackburn: Murray has played some dream forehands at the death. Frustrating for Goffin. Even when he's on the deck, Murray punches back hard.

     Leigh Kirkham: Why would you let someone with a megaphone into a tennis court?

    Adds to the atmosphere, no?

    It might have looked predictable over the last 15 minutes, but now Murray has to get the job done. It is never easy.

    Goffin 3-5 Murray*

    The League Against Cruel Sports might want to have a look at what Andy Murray is doing to the David Goffin second serve.

    The Belgian is being splattered all over the court when he misses with his first dart.

    Even with that handicap, Goffin makes it over the line and to safety after three break points.

    He has to face the Murray blunderbuss next though.

    *Goffin 2-5 Murray

    Superb defences from Andy Murray, can he land the killer counter punch?

    Nope, a dipping lob dips a little too late and the ball strays long.

    David Goffin gets out of jail. But is he delaying the inevitable?

    A zippy Murray return earns him a third set point.

    *Goffin 2-5 Murray

    Andy Murray is steamrollering his way through the second half of this first set.

    David Goffin looks like he is being intimidated rather than inspired by the quality that is coming from the Briton's racquet.

    A double-fault hands Murray 15-40 and two set points.

    Outrageous athleticism from Murray to secure that game. So many of Murray's opponents do everything right but you can't cover a pass like that. The skill that it takes is huge but it's also like his enormous will to win drives the ball across court.

    Andy Murray is slogging the ball so hard on his groundstrokes, he is practically peeling the skin off it.

    He takes the game with an extraordinary stretching cross court pass that leaves Goffin folded in two and in a state of disbelief.

    Kim Sears, in the crowd, invokes a deity in delight. Quite. That was a shot touched with genius.

    The Belgian won just one point in that game. One in the last 12 in fact.

    Every time Goffin misses the first serve, you sense big danger. Murray is putting him under such pressure with the return.

    David Goffin misses with his first serve and Andy Murray is slavering like a rabid dog to get his teeth into his second.

    Boom!

    Murray wallops a powder-puff second serve across court for a clean winner and the first break of the match.

    Andy Murray with superb chasing into the corner, grunting with effort after every pursuit, keeps the rally alive at 0-15 up.

    A superb pass past a flopping Goffin! 0-30.

    And Goffin punts long. 0-40 and three break points.
