Daniel Nestor handed over his last service game. Now would be a great time to do the same again. In British eyes at least. 

A dipping serve out wide puts Canada 15-0 ahead, before Dom Inglot's rasping forehand down the line is controversially ruled out. That looked in to me.

The Brits battle back to 40-30 and another wonderful Inglot winner - a one-handed cross-court backhand - take us into deuce...

The pressure moves over to Dom Inglot's mind. But he thrives on it, forgetting about those previous couple of sticky service games. Inglot holds, Britain certain of a tie-break in this second set, minimum.

"Mr Pospisil, can you show us what you have got in your locker?"

"No problem. It's a hold."

Vasek Pospisil has not been taken past 30 in any of his service games and he isn't going to start now. A blink-and-you'll-miss-it hold to love.

This game is just starting to open up a little. Not like an uncontrollable outpouring out of emotions, more like a few mutterings of feelings between distant partners.

Canada force deuce for the second time in three British service games, but Murray and Inglot fend them off to hold.

The British barmy army bring out their Murray version of the Toure/2Unlimited chant in celebration.

Not sure Inglot centred that return exactly where he meant it, not exactly the sweet-spot of the racquet, but he’ll take it!

Where has this come from? Out of nowhere Britain rack up three break points!

The first scampers away from them when Inglot's return goes fractionally long. 

And then here comes controversy! Jamie Murray thinks a Pospisil return is out and stops, but we don't have Hawkeye to adjudicate. Murray dishes out some verbals in the direction of the umpire's chair.

But it matters little as Dom Inglot lashes a wonderful cross-court forehand winner to break back. Even steven.

It’s tough, you just literally have to hang in there, focus, and every time you get a second serve, try to do something. It’s quick-fire tennis, one or two points changes the set and you’ve got to make sure you’re sharp, if and when you get that opportunity. The Brits have changed their return positions a little bit but it’s tough.

Is this the turning point? Dom Inglot loses concentration at a crucial point, coughing up another double fault - after two in his previous service game - as the Canadian force deuce.

Redeemed. Inglot powers down an ace to take advantage and then another decent serve sees Britain home. Inglot comes up with the perfect response again after wading into a sticky spot.

This is the wallpaper of tennis matches. Each game/roll has virtually exactly the same pattern. That first game of this set was the rogue piece pasted onto the wall. The Canadians hold, the Brits give no hope of a break.

Other than that opening break in this set, Jamie Murray has only dropped two points on his serve in the whole match.

Ah, make that four. At 30-15 Dom Inglot leaves Daniel Nestor's whipped forehand down the line as the Canadians sniff a chance. 

But the Brits bounce back after a quick conflab, mouths covered behind a couple of balls, Nestor sending a cross-court forehand wide.

Daniel Nestor is human after all. The 44-year-old, age-defying Canadian plants a second serve into the net for 30-15, leaving the door slightly ajar for the Brits. 

Then, like a cruel kid teasing a stray cat, he slams it shut. Nestor moves into the net on game point, inviting Dom Inglot to try the lob. It's long. Longer than the length of the aforementioned moggy in fact.

Chance for Dom Inglot to dish out some revenge. And he serves it lukewarm. Some blistering serving leaves the Canadians wafting, before a couple of double faults on the bounce take us into deuce.

He needs a first serve - he piles down an ace. Boom! And another bomb leaves Murray with the simplest task of volleying in the winner.

Ouch. Dom Inglot's pride takes a wounding. Partly because Canada have eased to an another hold, and partly because Daniel Nestor cleans him out with a thunderous smash with the game point. Right in the ribs.

Jamie Murray's gear makes him look a little like one of those scallies who hang around your local precinct on a hot summer's day. Navy baseball cap, navy tee, white shorts and black trainers with black socks.

Unfortunately his service game is not as menacing in the first game of the second set. 

The Canadians earn a break point at the first opportunity - and they take it! Nestor scoops up a beautiful lob that loops over a reaching Murray and dusts the whitewash. Can't teach experience.

For me the first set was down to four points – a break point for each team, and then the double break on Nestor’s serve in the tie-break. At 4-1 and serving, that was the set for Great Britain, but it’s so close.

Pospisil was the weaker of the two Canadians at the net, made a couple of crucial errors at the net, and Dom Inglot came through with a couple of huge shots in the tie-break.

Murray to kick off the second set. Not that Murray if you're just joining us. The other one.

As expected there was barely a cigarette paper between these two pairs. Fine margins. Great Britain saved one set point before cleaning up in the breaker.

They only need one! Vasek Pospisil fluffs his lines at the crucial moment. He double faults to put the first set on a plate to Great Britain.

Whoosh! Dom Inglot's booming serve hands the British boys five set points....
