  1. Murray v Brown

    If this match is even half as good as Konta v Vekic, we'll be in for a belter.

    It'll be Murray to serve first.

  2. 'There's no easy match'

    Konta 7-6 (7-4) 4-6 10-8 Vekic

    More from Johanna Konta: "I’m here with the intention of being part of the event for the full two weeks, but as you have just seen every player gives it their all, there's no easy match.

    "The crowd were incredible, the amount of respect they showed opponent as well. The arena is one of the best in the world."

  3. Dreddy ready to take on Murray

    Murray v Brown

    A quick search of Dustin Brown's name shows that it often appears alongside the words 'unpredictable' and 'serve-volleying'.

    The German stunned Rafa Nadal back in 2015, registering a 7-5 3-6 6-4 6-4 second round win on Centre Court.

    He's won five and lost 14 of his 19 singles matches this year, but he's promised to unleash "organised chaos" on Murray today.

    He also has the clearly more important title of longest hair at Wimbledon - those dreads haven't been chopped since 1996.

    Lee Mabey: I do not think we will see a better match at Wimbledon this year - I have no fingernails left! Brilliant from Konta and Vekic.

    Alice Stainer: Storming from Jo Konta. Enjoyed a titanic contest hugely. Boy do I feel sorry for Donna Vekic, but she's a future star in the making.

    Mark Thornton: OMG. Well done Jo. Unbelievable grit, one of the greatest women's matches I've ever seen.

  5. Murray v Brown

    Don't go anywhere.

    Andy Murray and Dustin Brown are making their way out to Centre Court.

    Brown's got his headphones glued on and he raises an arm to the crowd as he enters. Murray, baseball cap firmly stuck on head, goes for a slightly smaller sort of wave. Probably because he's loaded down with kit bags.

  6. game, set and match

    Game, set and match - Nishikori

    Nishikori 6-4 6-7 (7-9) 6-1 7-6 (8-6) Stakhovsky

    Gallant stuff from Sergiy Stakhovsky against an under-par Kei Nishikori out on Court One, but the Ukrainian can't prevent the fourth set heading to a tie-break.

    And it's there that the ninth seed finally makes his class tell, opening up two match points.

    But that class has also been erratic today as he volleys into the net and Stakhovsky saves the second too, forcing the Japanese player to net again.

    A poor double fault gives Nishikori a third match point, though. And he takes it as Stakhovsky can't return his backhand.

    Not the best tennis from Nishikori but he's found a way though. He'll take on 18th seed Roberto Bautista Agut in round three.

  7. 'It hasn't sunk in'

    Konta 7-6 (7-4) 4-6 10-8 Vekic

    Johanna Konta speaking on BBC One: "Right now, it hasn't quite sunk in. It's a nice feeling not having to keep going, we were out there for a long time and both of us battled hard. Whoever drew the short straw would be hurting and I feel fortunate to have come through that.

    "I think I trusted my game a bit more against her than I did last time. I think she played better than last time and same goes for me. The quality was high, she served well and it was difficult for me to return."

  8. Right then.

    The last time there were four Britons in the third round at Wimbledon aws 20 years ago, back in 1997, where there were five.

    Heather Watson, Aljaz Bedene and Johanna Konta are through - can Andy Murray make it four from four?

  9. Annabel Croft
    Former British number one on BBC Radio 5 live

    I don't know what Konta's psychologist tells her but she clearly has methods to not let any negative thoughts impact her thought processes after she makes a mistake.

    The mental side is very important - you have to work on it as much as your ground strokes, serves and volleys.

    It's her process, a formula shes uses and it's effective - she puts things behind her very quickly.

    Former British number one on BBC TV

    What a battle. What resilience. Both players acknowledging what a contest this has been over the past three hours. You can never write the script for a tennis match. This will be a hard one for Vekic to take but she's shown us all that potential we saw a few years ago. She will be back here, what a wonderful player. Konta, well you wouldn't think she has just played for three hours, brilliant from her.

  12. Konta 7-6 (7-4) 4-6 10-8 Vekic

    Donna Vekic greets her victor at the net and bursts into tears. She must be devastated and overwhelmed in equal measure.

    The 21-year-old walks off in floods of tears, while Jo Konta, who is into the third round for the first time in her career, gathers her thoughts and leaves the grass with grace. How is she still looking so cool after that intense battle?

    That was a brilliant advert for the women's game. Bravo.

  13. game, set and match

    Game, set and match - Konta

    Konta 7-6 (7-4) 4-6 10-8 Vekic

    KONTA! She's done it!

    Vekic strikes a return into the net and an almighty yell goes around Centre Court. Jo Konta is through to the third round at Wimbledon for the first time.

    Three hours and 10 minutes. What a match.

    'What a battle!' - Konta makes it through to third round

  14. Match point Konta

    *Konta 7-6 (7-4) 4-6 9-8 Vekic

    Advantage Konta with a stonking forehand. Up comes second match point...

  15. Match point saved

    *Konta 7-6 (7-4) 4-6 9-8 Vekic

    Vekic. Ace. Deuce.

  16. Match point Konta

    *Konta 7-6 (7-4) 4-6 9-8 Vekic

    Konta gets the first points as she hammers a Vekic drop shot back and her opponent nets.

    Down on one knee, Konta hammering another forehand and it's 0-30. We've been here before...

    The crowd ramps up the noise but Vekic chucks down one big serve, then another, to make it even stevens.

    Now an overhit forehand from Vekic - match point Konta...

    Darran Foster: This is a great advert for womens tennis, haway Jo, get across the line.

    Vinod: Come on Konta you can do this!! The entire country is watching this and supporting you!

    Neil Leverett: Both are digging like JCBs. Amazing resilience.

  18. Konta 7-6 (7-4) 4-6 9-8 Vekic*

    Konta holds on again!

    We are 40 minutes off the longest women's match ever at Wimbledon.

    Brace yourselves.

    Also: THREE HOUR KLAXON.

  20. Konta 7-6 (7-4) 4-6 8-8 Vekic*

    Some of the crowd are on the feet as Vekic comes out on top in a fantastic rally. She dinked over her drop shot with aplomb. 0-30!

    Wait a minute. Konta's back with two mahoosive serves and we are level.

    No. Wait again. Vekic finishes off at the net and now she has break point! Is this the big turning point?

    No. Vekic smacks a return long. Deuce.
