    As the third set begins, the hallways of Queen's Club are full of patrons looking for refills and, more urgently, extra layers on a perishing cold afternoon. 

    Murray looks well and truly dialled in at the moment, that running forehand winner causing one gentleman to come mighty close to an afternoon-ruining Pimms incident.

    The ideal start to the third set for Murray.

    Andy Murray with another delicious, dipping pass from off his bootlaces out wide takes the opening point.

    That throws some kerosene on the furnace.

    Murray bellows in celebration and racks up 15-40 and two break points with the wind behind him.

    A block return on the first and Cilic duffs an attempted drop-volley into top of the net.

    Murray a nose in front on the home straight.

    Murray, in that second set, was inside the court far less. 

    That was partially due to Cilic having his back against the wall and knowing he had to attack but Murray perhaps allowed it to happen too much.

    A sit-down and shape-up little monologue from Andy Murray to himself at the changeover.

    It seems to have done the trick.

    The Scot has his hand back on the tiller and is in control as he cruises through the opening service game.

    We saw yesterday against Kyle Edmund that Murray dropped his intensity for a brief moment in the second set and came out in third.

    Marin Cilic, in the form he is in today, is perhaps an entirely different proposition.

    A rasping backhand return from Murray takes it to 30-30. This is a chance...

    Half-wasted by the Scot as he drills into the net. 40-30.

    Cilic with a twitchy first serve long. The second is good, and now it is Murray who over-cooks.

    Long and ugly. 

    Cilic takes the set to a half-hearted ripple of applause.

    Cilic was not missing a ball for a stretch, there was nothing Murray could do.

    The question is, can he continue in that vein when he is serving for the set?

    Marin Cilic will have to do it on his own tee-off.

    Andy Murray holds his own serve to keep his cards on the table in the second set.

    Marin Cilic completes his escape and Andy Murray is in his own personal hell, berating himself for his failure to take that chance.

    He needs to get his head straight soon to avoid this heading to a third and decider.

    When are they going to make a substance that they can paint the line with that doesn't make the ball check?

    Andy Murray strikes back at the Marin Cilic serve, with the help of the whitewash.

    One ball slides off the paintwork and throws the Croat all out of kilter as he slips to 0-40 down.

    Murray's forehand down the line drifts wide and Marin Cilic looms at the net and closes down the angles.

    The Scot takes exception to something that someone has said from the sidelines. He holds a hushing finger to his lips.

    It wasn't clear if it was to someone in his own camp or his opponent's.

    Either way, he has some fire in his belly now for sure.

    Murray's body language is telling us he is not happy with the state of his legs.

    The court surface is throwing in enough quirky bounces to make the two players feel as though they are knocking around after an evening out on the town.

    Andy Murray lunges in to scrape off the deck after a dead-cat bounce and then Marin Cilic has to readjust sharply to knock away a routine winner as the ball spits away from him like a Shane Warne googly.

    Fun and games.

    And Cilic's game.

    If you are playing against a guy who is chasing down every ball you know you can't relax for an instant.

    It will wear you down, if not physically, then mentally. 

    That is why the great players win more often.

    Murray 6-3 3-2 *Cilic

    Andy Murray looked a little out of sorts in that game, still stewing over that erroneous call from the previous game.

    He comes up on the losing side of a lovely point full of deft touches and extreme angles, but knuckles down and battles on to take the game to 30.
