    Melbourne has not quite turned into Murrayfield, but there is more than a splash of tartan and dashes of saltires around.

    One bloke, dressed in Scotland football shirt and tammy hat, almost leaps off the ground every time he rises to a positive moment for Murray.

    Murray's movement looking much better than against Djokovic in that miserable practice on Thursday. And he's already doubled the number of service games he won...

    *Murray 3-3 Bautista Agut

    I feel a bit for Roberto Bautista Agut. It can't be much fun having an entire arena cheer your errors.

    Murray is a little slow with his forehand after being forced to run around like a puppy, and he sends his return long.

    Quite a roar when Andy Murray strolled out on to court. Not quite Hampden. Certainly louder than Easter Road.
