Damo: Late with the kids' tea in Singapore. Blaming BBC Tennis, Kyle Edmund, and my mini shepherds pies strangely taking longer than usual.#baddad

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.

Edmund hasn't stopped running but he is struggling to get across.

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.

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.
