    Edmund goes long and Cilic has nearly got this in the bag.

    Cilic 6-2 7-6 (7-4) 4-2 Edmund

    We're still wobbling around on advantage--deuce, and Kyle is still limping.

    What he doesn't need is to face another break point. But here it is, thanks to a whipped forehand from Cilic.

    Edmund's footwork has gone. His legs are too heavy - whether that's injury or a culmination of all these matches.

    *Cilic 6-2 7-6 (7-4) 4-2 Edmund

    Marin Cilic finds an 86 mph backhand winner and Edmund clocks up his 33rd unforced error to gift a break point.

    It's nullified immediately - Edmund forces the score back to deuce.

    On the advantage, Edmund goes over the corner. Back to deuce again.

    Edmund cuts a frustrated figure as Marin Cilic eases to a love hold for a 4-2 lead in the third.

    Cilic is cool as a cucumber, despite the mugginess in Melbourne.

    Whether there are a handful of games or three sets remaining, the deckchairs will be in demand for those unable to get tickets for Rod Laver Arena. A warm evening, food and drink on hand, and the presence of Boris Becker nearby on TV duty - what more could you ask for?

    Vicki Spreadbury: If Kyle loses this match it does not take anything away from his huge achievement this fortnight. All this shows is that there is more to learn - and more for him to achieve in future.

    Luckily for Edmund, Cilic shoots long over the corner.

    Kyle takes the advantage and gets a bit of luck when his backhand tips the net and lands the right side.

    The Briton holds.

    Oh heck. Double fault from Kyle Edmund. Break point Cilic.

    This pair have rarely ventured into the net at all in this match but they come close for a little ping-pong battle, which Cilic wins.

    Edmund finds a huge forehand winner for 30-30 and a big serve for 40-30.

    It looks like he's hit wide on the next point. The challenge comes after it was called out and it was wide.

    Deuce.

    Cilic is being ruthless now. It was a bit of a lumbering movement for Edmund, only because of the injury. A few people are saying it's a groin injury.

    Cilic nabs the advantage but takes back to deuce as he slams the net.

    Edmund backhands over the baseline and the advantage is back with the Croat.

    No, wait. Back to deuce as Edmund hits the line.

    Winning that rally would have felt good! He managed to get across the court. He's been struggling to move but there was a full-blooded swing there.

    Cilic continues his assault of the third set with a 40-15 lead.

    He makes some incredible shots on the next point, but it's young Kyle who finds the winner on the forehand. There's life in the ol'dog yet!

    And now we're at deuce after a Cilic backhand error.
