    Nice little one-two punch from Kyle Edmund, leaving Novak Djokovic sprawling into the corner of the court, and it's advantage to the Brit.

    Whoops. That's, er, a wonky backhand from Edmund. Back to deuce we go.

    "Out!"

    That's a bad miss from Novak Djokovic. Deuce.

    A short second serve, Kyle Edmund dances forward - and he pushes his forehand long!

    Break back point to Djokovic.

    *Edmund 4-3 Djokovic

    Kyle Edmund's first serve isn't quite clicking but Novak Djokovic coughs up a couple of easy errors, before the Brit slices his backhand into the net.

    It's 30-30 before Edmund hammers down a big ol' ace, but Djokovic forces deuce with an angled forehand return.

    Ernests Gulbis holds to keep it on serve in the third - the qualifier has already had to come through two five-setters to reach this stage, including seeing off British wildcard Jay Clarke.

    Alexander Zverev finds himself facing a break point for the first time in the match after a double fault, and Gulbis whips in a forehand winner! He'll serve for the third set.

    The former world number 10 is putting some serious pressure on the fourth seed, in part due to shots like this...

    That was the perfect point, the perfect play and the perfect start from Kyle Edmund to get the break. Now he needs to knuckle down on the next service game.

    The energy in here is incredible right now, a direct connection to the result in the football.

    OH!

    Novak Djokovic stretches this way and that at the net, trying to keep out Kyle Edmund's returns and in the end, the Serb pushes himself too far.

    Edmund nips forward, nails a low pick-up and gets a standing ovation from the Centre Court crowd.

    Hmm.

    Novak Djokovic is all over this point and then at the last second, flunks a backhand into the net post.

    Break point #4 for Edmund.

    A decent body serve from Novak Djokovic, and Kyle Edmund pumps his return into the net.

    As you were.

    Still the chances come from Kyle Edmund.

    A forehand down the line, and break point number three comes rattling along.

    Wily from Djokovic.

    He takes his time with his serve before approaching the net and Kyle Edmund, stuck on the baseline, can't get near Djokovic's swatted forehand.

    40-40.

    Whoops.

    A bit of a shank from Novak Djokovic on the forehand, and Edmund has another break point...

    Into a rally they go, Kyle Edmund sets himself up for a forehand - and he larrups the ball long!

    Deuce.

    Djokovic has the better backhand but Edmund is the one looking to step in change the pace. Djokovic is unlikely to beat himself. Kyle has got to go out there, take it to Djokovic.

    Strong defence from Kyle Edmund, who looks all out of a rally, and then two big strides set him up perfectly to whip another winner smack onto the baseline.

    That big forehand of Edmund's is working nicely, hitting the ball flat back to Novak Djokovic, and another super winner down the line hands Edmund a break point...

    Ernests Gulbis finds himself in a pickle at 0-40 down. Alexander Zverev slipped over moments ago while chasing a drop shot from the Latvian - it seems to have fired him up.

    World number 138 Gulbis saves the first two, and also snaffles up the third with a hop, skip and a jump to volley down court. He holds.

    Jiten: Worrying signs early on, Novak is getting Edmund's serves back and although Edmund is having a good strike on the first ball, the fact it is coming back often could be crucial in the important moments.

    Edmund 3-3 Djokovic*

    Novak Djokovic challenges a Kyle Edmund first serve - wrongly, as it turns out, and we're at 15-15.

    What a shot that is! Edmund is slightly off-balance but he steadies himself and angles the backside off a forehand winner, before a dinky volley ensures he holds.

    Alexander Zverev, standing at 6ft6, continues to hammer down mammoth serves at Ernest Gulbis, who does well to get out of the way of one body shot.

    Zverev has won 83% of his first serve points today, and it remains on serve in the third set.
