A lesser-seen rally occurs on Murray's serve and it's Raonic who comes out on top with a gentle forehand winner. He moves to 15-30.

But Murray claws his way back in front and shouts of "come on" fall out of the Scotsman's mouth as he takes the game. 

It's actually hard to see Milos Raonic's serves sometimes because they're so damn quick. How an opponent is meant to return them, I don't know.

He moves to 40-30 with a 133mph ace. Wooosh. 

The Canadian sees the game out and we're back level again.

Both players are playing at their best. This is high-class tennis, both are excellent grass-court players, and it's a fascinating match.

Gareth Cartwright: So @andy_murray, external and @milosraonic, external have started out by clubbing each other like two heavyweight boxers! This will be some match.

I feel like I'm repeating myself here. Another hold to love for Andy Murray. 

The Scotsman finishes off with a powerful forehand cross court.

Nathan Smith: Raonic's serve sounds like a paintball gun.

Now it's Raonic's turn to hold to love again.

The Canadian produces an overhead lob, a la Pete Sampras, and a couple of thunderbolt serves to see Andy Murray off with ease. 

If you fancy a laugh, have a look at #thelendleffect hashtag. It's mainly full of wit and good humour from Andy's brother, Jamie. 

Well, that was easy. Andy Murray holds to love again. 

The pair go for a quick sit down and breather. 

Who's going to break first in the final?

Murray manages to snatch the first point from Raonic's serve but the Canadian responds in style.

The world number nine swipes a beautiful forehand winner into the bottom corner and then hits an unstoppable ace to make it 30-15.

Murray outsmarts his opponent with a backhand and we go to 30-all.

But Raonic then pulls out a body serve for 40-30 and holds with a mid-air slam that Michael Jordan would be proud of.

Raonic's serve is not as rhythmical as John Isner's serve, but the snap he gets on it is quite something and the power he generates is amazing.

We've spoken a lot about Milos Raonic's big serve. It's not a myth, guys, it's bloomin' huge.

The Canadian storms into a 40-0 lead and holds to love. Murray didn't stand a chance on the returns. 

After taking the advantage, Andy Murray holds his serve and pumps his fist with joy.

A 12-shot rally to start us off, lovely stuff. Andy Murray comes out on top as Milos Raonic hits into the net.

The British number one brings out two big serves to move to 40-0 

Raonic gets off the mark with a drop shot winner, and makes it 40-30 with a forehand into the corner.

And a Murray double fault makes it deuce.The mumbling has begun already...

Queen's Club is quieter during the knock-up than most tournaments during play. Which is no bad thing, it all adds to the variety of the seemingly endless tennis tour. Polite applause for Raonic, a hint of a cheer for Murray... "Ready? Play."

Appreciative applause breaks out as the players finish their warm-up and prepare to get this Queen's final under way.

Andy Murray will start us off.

Martin Dye: Love how the mascots get introduced ahead of the actual finalists. Nice touch! 

Cap doffed to the organisers...

Can either one of them put returns of serves into play to make this a riveting match? Raonic's serve is second to none and no matter how great Murray's return is, it's a formidable weapon.
