    No-one is moving from their seats. They're engrossed. Or they've been sat down for so long that their legs have gone numb. But I think it's definitely the former. This has been a herculean effort.

    Here's Nadal, serving to stay in the match.

    You have to wonder how much pressure can Nadal withstand? It's like every game he's 0-30 or a break point down.

    That is a corker of a service game from Muller.

    Spin, accuracy, followed up by some wonderful winners. He holds to love!

    This is something new for me - that the challenges are reset after 24 games.

    The good news for Rafa is, he gets his three challenges back now we're at 12-12.

    23 aces for Nadal. 30 for Muller. One giant Mexican wave tearing around Centre Court, which briefly holds up Gilles Muller's serve.

    "You can continue at the next change over," says the umpire, which is a very polite way of telling them all to stop.

    Hello! A skip forward from Muller, meeting Nadal's forehand, and he laces a lovely winner beyond the Spaniard for 15-30.

    Nadal's response? Ace, down the T, and despite a challenge from Muller, that serve is in. All square again.

    That's an almighty serve from Nadal! He pushes it into the corner of the court and the ball bounces way beyond Muller's swipe. He holds!

    Jane Tucker: This is the most exhausting tennis match I've watched for a while. Come on Rafa!

    Tom Gumbleton: This match is so intense. I actually don't want a winner now.

    If it gets to 20-20 and it's too dark to play, what will happen to Nadal and Muller? Will they have to move to Centre Court?

    Four hours and 28 minutes. This match will never end. I've accepted that now. We're all going to be trapped in eternity watching this go on.

    There are worse things to be doing...

    Muller tries a drop shot but fluffs it badly. It's 30-15 to Nadal on Muller's serve.

    The Spaniard, however, makes an error on the next before the Luxembourg player comes to the net twice to seal the game.

    We are coming up to four-and-a-half hours.

    Nadal fights his way back into it, pinning Muller back and watching a backhand slice into the net.

    Oops! Nadal goes through his pre-serve ritual and nearly ends up smacking himself in the face with the ball. He recovers with a big serve that Muller hoicks into the stand.

    Sun

    Sun, disrupting play in Britain. And people think our summer is rubbish.

    Brilliant this from Muller, coming forward and drawing the errors out of Nadal, although a wobble off the net cord falls against the Spaniard.

    A backhand from Muller floats long to get Nadal on the board at 15-30.

    Muller has been the better player in the fifth set, the one who has dominated on his serving games, probing on Nadal's serve. But Nadal's just refusing to be beaten.

    Nadal's not happy. There's a reflection from the temporary structure getting into his eyeline as he serves. There's nothing anyone can do about that, I'm afraid.

    No, I take that back. The spectators are being asked to STAND UP AND BLOCK THE SUN.

    The stubborness of these two men. The refusal to be beaten. The guts, the fitness, the power, the sheer determination to just keep on going.

    It's just ridiculous.

    I've not heard anything about the match between Djokovic and Mannarino. Centre Court is set up for more play tonight. Djokovic is somewhere.

    Muller is ice cool. He barely looks ruffled, despite having the majority of Court One cheering for the bloke at the other end of the court.

    He hammers down two big serves, Nadal slapping his return wide. He's in front again.
