    *Murray 4-6 4-6 7-6 (7-5) 0-1 Bautista Agut

    Andy Murray does a bit of tidying between points, moving a feather out of his eyeline.

    His limp is more pronounced now although he somehow manages to keep himself in a long rally before slicing his backhand into the net tape.

    An overcooked forehand from Muzza, and Roberto Bautista Agut holds to 15.

    WOW! That really is a skin-prickling moment in the Melbourne Arena. And it's got nothing to do with my sunburn.

    Murray roars, the crowd screams, the arena goes wild.

    Everyone is buzzing (except RBA who throws his towel on the throw in fury). The perfect time to bring out Bongo Cam...

    Worth noting a Brit has beat Bautista Agut from two sets down before.

    Cameron Norrie. Spain. Davis Cup. February 2018.

    I know, I know. We can dream. How's your nerve Roberto...
