Long down the line from Bautista Agut!

One break point saved, one more to go.

Cam Norrie attempts a pick up off his toes but overcooks it, but he gets on the board as Bautista Agut whips a return long.

Now then. Two break points come the Spaniard's way as Norrie skews his forehand out...

A skid off the clay helps a fine volley from Bautista Agut on its way, and he gets to 40-0 before a Norrie swipe down the line beats him.

Oh, and again! A forehand winner, crashed from bang on the baseline from Norrie, worries his opponent before the Spaniard works a winner cross-court.

A hold first up.

Extraordinary things can happen in Davis Cup and Netherlands' world number 369 Thiemo De Bakker has demonstrated that perfectly by beating France's Adrian Mannarino to give the Dutch a 1-0 lead in Albertville.

Mannarino is ranked 344 places higher but De Bakker prevailed 7-6 (7-4) 6-3 6-3.

In other first-round World Group matches, Croatia's Borna Coric has beaten Canada's Vasek Pospisil to give the hosts a 1-0 lead in Osijek, while Belgium's Ruben Bemelmans has defeated Hungary's Marton Fucsovics to put the 2015 finalists 1-0 up. USA's Sam Querrey leads Serbia's Laslo Djere two sets to one.

Australia and Germany are level at 1-1 after day one in Brisbane, Italy and Japan are also 1-1 and Kazakhstan lead 2014 winners Switzerland - minus Roger Federer and Stan Wawrinka - 2-0.

Norrie has only been playing tennis for about seven years - in fact, he's only been professional for just over a year.

He's taking a big swig of water and a snack break, with Leon Smith offering up a few words of wisdom here and there.

Bautista Agut, who did briefly nip off court, is back out, and will serve to get the fifth set under way.

Now, it's going to take some guts - and all those extra energy reserves - if Cameron Norrie is going to get over the line.

But take a look at that - 16 forehand winners!

We're going to a decider!

Excellent work from Cam Norrie, who eventually loops a forehand behind an advancing Roberto Bautista Agut, and the young Brit with virtually no clay-court experience has forced a fifth set.

Right then. Set point number two, courtesy of a Cam Norrie volley...

Drop shots and big forehands galore, but Norrie doesn't crunch a volley, and Bautista Agut can claw his way back in.

Eventually a Norrie forehand drops just long, and it's deuce once more.

Now it's Bautista Agut who overcooks a forehand - and Norrie has a set point!

Can he tidy it up?

And that'll be an ace from Norrie! Deuce #3.

Oof. Norrie fluffs an easy return into the net, and Bautista Agut has another chance to break...

Saved with an emphatic forehand from Cameron Norrie!

Deuce.

Another forehand is whipped down the line with pinpoint accuracy from Norrie, but Bautista Agut batters his way back into the game with two winners.

The Spaniard whizzes a backhand into the net for 30-30 before the two exchange drop shots - and it's Bautista Agut that comes out on top!

Break point to Spain...

Now then. Who saw this coming?!

Here's Cam Norrie, double break up, serving to force a fifth set against the world number 23...

Fifth break point of this game. This time? YES! Looping forehand down the line curves in and Cameron Norrie has the double break! He'll serve to take us to a fifth.

Wild, wild forehand from the middle of the court from Bautista Agut when he had advantage. A delay as some balloons blow onto court and the ballgirls chase after them. We've had 18 points in this game so far and it's deuce again...

Drop shot saves it. That was quality for Bautista Agut. Norrie's long with a return but the Brit then scampers along the baseline and sends a running backhand down the line! Brilliant! Back to deuce we go...
