Andy Murray has strengthened his grip on this match with a second break.

Excellent defensive strokes from the Scot and Stan Wawrinka can only slice a backhand into the net at the crucial moment.

Impressive this from Murray.

Stan Wawrinka still looking to blow his own cobwebs away. Not that Andy Murray is cutting him any slack. At 40-30 the Swiss overcooks a forehand.

Deuce.

Not had a stick of rock in years. Bring me some back from Eastbourne please Jonathan - preferably with my name etched on the side.

Anyway, back at Devonshire Park and Andy Murray sends down a brutal service game. Once again he is confident enough to advance to the net in search of quick winners.

It's been a breakthrough day for Britain's 19-year-old Jay Clarke.

He's won 6-4 6-1 against American Ryan Harrison to reach the second round.

Unfortunately there is no time to lie on the beach when there is tennis to watch.

Eastbourne used to have a reputation as a place solely for the elderly to come and enjoy the sea air in their retirement - not any more.

Multi-million pound investments in a new shopping centre, complete with nine-screen cinema, the £54m renovation of the Devonshire Quarter - where theatres mix with the tennis, plus hip coffee shops and burger joints, have attracted a younger crowd.

More students are being attracted to the University of Brighton campus in the town, while several large groups of teenage foreign tourists were wandering around earlier enjoying the traditional feel of a British seaside town.

"The town is changing," says Jack Brownell, manager of the Eastbourne Tourist Information Centre.

"It is certainly not the 'God's waiting room' it was once thought to be."

Thankfully some traditions haven't changed...

A test for Stan Wawrinka serve at the start of the second set and Andy Murray is not giving him an inch. However, at 30-30 the Swiss produces a big serve which Murray can only strike into the net before he closes out the game with a powerful forehand from the baseline.

Murray's tennis has been impressive from the word go and he has made very few errors.

But it's about watching his fitness and seeing how long he can maintain this.

The bad news is his limp is getting worse again.

Elsewhere today, Britain's Dan Evans won his first-round match at the Wimbledon qualifying event, beating Ilya Ivashka.

Evans, 28, overcame the 24-year-old from Belarus 6-4 6-4 in Roehampton in one hour and 32 minutes.

"I played well and it was a tough match against one of the better guys in the draw," said Evans, who needs two more wins to qualify for the main draw.

An impressive showing from Andy Murray as he serves out at 40-30 to take the first set. A powerful serve down the court is hit back into the net by Stan Wawrinka.

Mind you the Swiss looks as rusty as that old nail in your odds and ends box in the garage. We all have one of them, right?

All this sun can have serious repercussions, however, especially when we don’t see it so much in Britain.

The stadium announcer warns fans to take precautions because there have been a few cases of sunstroke at Devonshire Park today.

Most watching on Centre Court are wearing some form of protective hat, while some youngsters near me ask to swap for seats in the shade.

It may be ticking past 6pm but those rays are still sharp and the temperature is around 21C according to my BBC Weather app.

Stan Wawrinka is struggling to keep himself in touch as a combination of brilliant returns from Andy Murray and his own sloppy play sees him broken for a second time in the match.

Wawrinka is furious with himself, throwing his towel down in disgust, but Murray is giving him nothing.

Murray isn't making any errors and he's taking the pace off the ball which means Wawrinka is having to force it.

Murray is playing chess. He's trying to put the ball into awkward places rather than blast it. He's a really canny grass-court player.
