Cilic seems to be switching personalities for almost every point. Sometimes good, sometimes less so.

Evans rushes on to one that clips the net cord and dispatches it for 30-15, but double faults the next one.

Now two big serves to see out the game.

That hold is massive - don't let Cilic get straight back in it.

Cilic won just one of seven break points in that second set. Evans won two of three.

Opportunistic.

And Cilic goes long! He's all over the place.

Dan Evans has broken at the perfect time and he's level with the seventh seed.

Evans has to watch a forehand passing shot whizz past him and Cilic seems to be over his wobble as he gets himself two break points.

Just when he looked on the ropes he thumps a lovely forehand winner for a break point.

Another forehand slips wide though for deuce - he challenged it out of desperation and got it wrong.

Evans then moves Cilic all over the court and rushes on to a bouncing ball in mid-court - it's begging to be put away. Oh but he's mis-hit it... was it in? Yes, just. He's got away with that one.

And now he closes out the game. Phew.

Cilic needed this - a love hold. It all comes down to that serve getting him through a sticky patch.

Curious.

But Evans and British fans won't mind.
