    How much more has Andy Murray got left in the tank? The Scot strains every sinew to make Nick Kyrgios scrap for the eighth game.

    "Horrible, horrible" Murray grumbles as he turns around to receive. The Australian wins a flamboyant point then holds his service game.

    That's a nice reaction from the crowd after Murray held his serve with a bit of a struggle.

    This is a great success for Murray no matter what happens from here.

    Murray is fighting with everything he's got. I'm not sure how he's going to get on in five sets at Wimbledon but I am so glad he's back out here doing what he loves doing.

    Andy Murray's wife Kim shields her eyes in the stands as the sunshine dips down into the court. Her husband serves an important ace down the centre of the court at 15-30 before a rally with Kyrgios sees the Aussie strike the net.

    However, Kyrgios has much focus and determination to his play now and forces Murray to scrap for every point.

    Deuce

    Less of the antics from Nick Kyrgios as the match reaches the business end. Andy Murray only able to take a point as the Aussie takes his service game. Not that you would know it from Kyrgios' hangdog expression.

    Murray 6-2 6-7 (4-7) 1-2 Kyrgios

    Incidentally Andy Murray's extended lay-off through injury means he has slipped down the ATP singles rankings over the past year or so.

    He was world number one from November 2016 to August 2017. However, the 31-year-old's absence means he has slipped down to being ranked 156.

    A win here would be the first step on climbing back up that ladder.

    Claire Cottingham: Deciding set at #Queens, external but Murray seems to be grasping his back occasionally. This is surely going to take it out of him after being out for a year! It's taking it out of me and I've not moved for 2 hours.

    An escape for Murray as he saves the break point. Kyrgios comes to the net in search of a winner but cramped for room cannot get it over.

    Murray saves a second break but is moving a little more gingerly hinting at a back problem.
