Edmund 3-6 0-3 Berdych*
Melbourne Arena is slowly disappearing into the shadows, I'm sure neither player will mind that.
Kyle Edmund is looking lethargic and out of sorts at the moment, can barely string a response to Tomas Berdych's big serve together.
When he does finally test the Czech, Berdych can only poke a stretching backhand into the net - more of that, hey Kyle...

*Edmund 3-6 0-2 Berdych
Edmund can't get to grips with this punchy Berdych serve - the Czech doesn't seem to be suffering from any of those back problems that have blighted him recently today.
He rattles to 40-0 as the British number one shakes his head in disbelief, before thrusting a straightforward baseline stroke into the guts of the net.
Hold to love for the Czech.

Work to do for Kyle Edmund if he's to avoid going out in the first round here.

Tomas Berdych, serving for the first set. The world number 57 rattles to 30-0 with a fearsome ace down the T line, but is upstaged by the umpire after challenging a call to the baseline.
Oh no! Kyle Edmund thinks a lob is looping out, then suddenly realises it's catching the line and hammers an overhead long in a panicked response.

The Brit is having a moan about something, think it might be the big screen?!
There's a shadow cast across half the court that probably isn't helping either, Edmund drags a forehand into the sun spot but out of the tramlines.
30-15.
*Edmund 2-5 Berdych
Tomas Berdych is cooking. I put it down to his new camouflage outfit - like a racquet-wielding Action Man.
The Czech quickly slaps his way to 40-15 with a well-weighted backhand, and then holds as a furious Kyle Edmund frames one into the Melbourne sky.
He'll serve to stay in the first set.

That Tomas Berdych serve is BIG today. Only two points dropped so far, tough ask for Kyle Edmund to get a grip of it.
