    Bautista Agut 6-4 3-0 Norrie*

    Norrie spears a flatter, spinny backhand into the net, and captain Leon Smith wipes a hand over his eyes in frustration.

    That's better for the Brit, drawing errors out of Bautista Agut's forehand, but another whip down the line sails out of bounds. Break point to Spain...

    Bautista Agut has set his stall out to be an absolute brick wall and he has let Norrie beat himself, up to this point.

    Bautista Agut 6-4 3-0 Norrie*

    Norrie just gets his nose in front before a lazy forehand finds the net, and he thumps the air in frustration.

    A wild backhand from Norrie somehow lands it but his attempt at a passing shot drifts over the baseline, before he steps in and nets a forehand. A hold for Spain.

    Toni Nadal, uncle and former coach of Rafa, is currently commentating on this match for the home broadcaster.

    Bautista Agut 6-4 1-0 Norrie*

    Some good stuff from Norrie but he's just getting a bit outpaced in these rallies.

    Successive forehands end up nestling in the foot of the net, and Bautista Agut holds to 15 to get things going.

    That's five games in a row for the Spaniard.

    The reason for losing that first set wasn't tactical - it was execution. The way Norrie is mixing his game up is the way to win the match, for sure.

    Bautista Agut 6-4 Norrie

    A bruising forehand from Bautista Agut, and the first set goes Spain's way!

    Unfortunate for Cameron Norrie, who got tight in the crucial moments, and gifted Bautista Agut a way back in.

    Bautista Agut 5-4 Norrie*

    Nice from Norrie, shimmying forward and walloping a forehand that Bautista Agut, deep behind the baseline, slams into the net.

    Another double fault costs the Brit, though, and two set points come whizzing along for the Spaniard...

    Bautista Agut 5-4 Norrie*

    The Spaniard errs with his forehand, picking a ball up from out wide and crashing it into the net.

    These two are scampering up and down, pushing each other forwards and back, but it's Bautista Agut who lobs him perfectly for 40-15.

    Norrie nets with the forehand, and Bautista Agut holds. The Brit will serve to stay in the first set.

    He let his concentration slip for just a split-second and that's all it takes against a player of Bautista Agut's quality.

    Bautista Agut 3-4 Norrie*

    A stern talking-to for Bautista Agut from captain Sergi Bruguera at the changeover.

    Here's Cameron Norrie to serve.

    Bautista Agut 3-4 Norrie*

    A forehand down the line has Bautista Agut scrambling, but Norrie overworks his attempted winner, and the Spaniard goes 30-15 up.

    *Bautista Agut 2-4 Norrie

    Superb scampering from Cameron Norrie again - absolutely no fear as he bosses RBA and moves in to put another volley away and move to 40-15. A Bautista Agut overhead takes us to deuce. An ace and a topspin forehand after a lovely rally seals the hold for Britain.

    Bautista Agut 2-3 Norrie*

    Long exchange again at 15-30 but Norrie goes long. Still, Bautista Agut looks tentative, despite being ranked 23 to the Briton's 114. The Spaniard eventually holds.
