    Either Cuevas has gone for a spot of lunch - the jambon-beurre baguettes are decent - or he has nipped to the loo.

    Edmund sits in his chair, head bowed, staring at the floor.

    It is affecting Kyle that he has not played many matches on clay this season. In the 13 occasions he has been two sets down, he has lost 13 times, and has not even won a set when being two sets down.

    Cuevas 7-6 (7-3) 6-3 2-1 Edmund*

    Pablo Cuevas has nipped off court. Kyle Edmund is sat staring at his shoes at the change of ends. Does he have anything left?

    Osaka 4-6 5-4 Azarenka*

    Suddenly the pressure is now on two-time Grand Slam champion Victoria Azarenka. Naomi Osaka was 4-2 down but now leads 5-4 after a hold of serve.

    Will the world number one break here to take us into a decider?

    Edmund holds at the start of the third set. He still looks like he needs a banana for an energy boost.

  6. Osaka breaks backpublished at 11:47 British Summer Time 30 May 2019

    Osaka 4-6 4-4 Azarenka*

    Naomi Osaka yells a "COME ON" after bringing up a break point. The world number one is having to battled like mad to get back into this.

    She gets it! The top seed has leveled things up again in this second set. She won't go without a fight.

    Edmund has won just four points in the past five games.

    I don't mean to make it sound too bleak for Kyle Edmund fans reading this but he has NEVER come from two sets down to win.

    Pablo Cuevas is controlling this match. He looks completely at home on the red clay.

    Edmund has just not managed to put Cuevas under any pressure. He is playing well, but is allowed to be. It is a very curious performance from Kyle, it's a bit flat.

  10. Game and second set - Cuevaspublished at 11:40 British Summer Time 30 May 2019

    *Cuevas 7-6 (7-3) 6-3 0-0 Edmund

    Edmund just isn't getting to the ball like he was earlier. Pablo Cuevas hits another forehand and Edmund can't get a racquet on it.

    It's going to take something spectacular - and a pretty special energy boost - for him to win from here.

    Cuevas 7-6 (7-3) 5-3 Edmund*

    Kyle Edmund's hopes are fading fast. Perhaps feeling the pain in his legs, he tries to shorten the points but misses the volley.

    Pablo Cuevas has two set points...

    Cuevas 7-6 (7-3) 5-3 Edmund*

    With Kyle Edmund's tempers bubbling at the other end, Pablo Cuevas stays calm. He's just making his opponent player.

    Edmund will now serve to stay in the second set.

  13. Osaka holds servepublished at 11:36 British Summer Time 30 May 2019

    Osaka 4-6 3-4 Azarenka*

    World number one Naomi Osaka has had to save another break point against Victoria Azarenka. An early exit really was staring in her in the face there.

    The Japanese player holds but she's still going to have to break soon or she is going home.

    Uh oh. Kyle Edmund is furious with himself. He drills a forehand long and after staring at the chair umpire to check it had not dusted the line, swings round to focus his burning eyes sharply on his box.

    "FIX IT!!!" he screams after walloping a ball into the clay and storming off to his chair.

    Eeek. A few worried looks on the fans, not often you see Edmund so angry.

  15. Cuevas breakspublished at 11:34 British Summer Time 30 May 2019

    *Cuevas 7-6 (7-3) 4-3 Edmund

    Edmund erupts in frustration in a way we don't see too often. He hits a third unforced error of the game and hammers a ball into the dirt. He screams and whacks his leg en route to his chair, before shouting again at his box.

    He's now a set and a break behind.

    Cuevas 7-6 (7-3) 3-3 Edmund*

    Another unforced error from Edmund. His legs look like they're made of lead all of a sudden.

    Three break points for Cuevas...

    Cuevas senses his moment.

    0-30.

    British Davis Cup captain Leon Smith arrived to watch Kyle Edmund a short time ago, presumably straight from the other side of the main avenue linking Lenglen and Chatrier through the heart of Roland Garros.

    That's because Dan Evans and Cameron Norrie are playing in the men's doubles on the nearby court nine.

    They're into a third set against 14th seeds Robin Haase and Frederik Nielsen.

    Cuevas 7-6 (7-3) 3-3 Edmund*

    Frustration looks to be building in Kyle Edmund. He's not too happy with a line call I don't think and he's not getting a look in on the Cuevas serve at the moment. He stands like a tea pot at the end of the game.

    A startling roar drifts over court six from Chatrier. Turns out it is not because Alexander Bublik has thrown in another underarm serve...
