*Halep 6-2 2-1 Nara
Simona Halep has just knocked the racquet out of Kurumi Nara's hand... not sure the world number one has that much power in her groundstrokes, might have been helped by the breeze there.
Nara shakes that wrist-wrangler off to hold.

Halep 6-2 2-0 Nara*
Simona Halep is slapping the ball around freely, picking her spot on a sparsely filled Centre Court now.
Saying that, the world number one slips a backhand long by the narrowest of margins, double faults and then follows up with her first ace of the match.
She holds. That's six games in a row for Halep.
