Kyle Edmund prompts one British fan to unfurl a view blocking Union Jack with a lovely running forehand flick down the line.

The British number one hits his overhead so hard for 40-15 I think it is still bouncing down the District Line towards Westminster.

A crackerjack ace, spitting like fat off a hot pan, gets him over the line and back ahead on the scoreboard.

Canadian 15th seed Milos Raonic is looking very comfortable on Court Three.

He serves an ace down the middle - his 13th of the set - to secure a two-set lead.

The winner of this one will face American 21-year-old Reilly Opelka, who upset Stan Wawrinka earlier today, in the third round.

These two are trading forehands like Mike Tyson and Sonny Liston could have traded punches.

Heavy.

In order to get the crowd on their feet you have to entertain them. Crowds are very important, they are playing for the crowd after all.

It's a dilemma Kyle Edmund has because off the court he is very subdued and quiet, so he has to put on a bit of a persona to get them behind him on it.

Kyle Edmund spoke before the match about continuing to build a rapport with the Centre Court crowd and, although we're not at peak Henman, nor peak Murray, the British fans help drag the Yorkshireman over the line in that service game.

"Let's go!" shouts Kyle Edmund as Fernando Verdasco buries the ball into the net.

The Yorkshireman is pretty animated out there already. Not yet the full Andy Murray emotional maelstrom, but he is showing quite a lot for a guy who keeps his cards close to his chest normally.

Just too much time to think about it. Kyle Edmund bunts long down the line, with Fernando Verdasco not even in shot.

The first break point of the match.. but Edmund comes out on top in an exchange of forehands to see it off.

Fernando Versdasco's forehand is a thing of beauty - a kind of lasso action complete with flamenco flourish.

It pummels Kyle Edmund from pillar to post to bring up 40-30 and then Kyle Edmund dumps a groundstroke into the net to bring up deuce.

Kyle Edmund leaves a backhand in the top of the gauze to allow Fernando Verdasco off the hook at 40-30 up.

That is definitely the punier wing of the British number one. He would be flying around in circles if he took to the air...

Philip West: Verdasco is a useful player. Almost derailed Murray’s 2013 title-winning campaign, but I don’t see any problems in prospect here. Edmund in four.

Boris Becker reveals during the changeover that he does not know who Geoffrey Boycott is.

"I have never been to Yorkshire! I am from Germany, Planet Earth!," he says in justification.

Can you even say you have lived on Planet Earth if you have never tasted the air of the God's Own Country?

Queen's singles and doubles champion Feliciano Lopez is next out on Court One.

The Spaniard looked far from his 37 years when he won the singles title before staying on court to help Andy Murray win the doubles last week and he is greeted warmly by the Wimbledon crowd as he steps out.

Lopez has another big job ahead of him today. He faces Russian 10th seed Karen Khachanov for a place in the third round.

Both these players are in good form so this could be a good one.

Fernando Verdasco had the chance to further delay Kyle Edmund's escape to the changeover stool as the ball sat up invitingly off the net cord.

But the Spaniard clumped long over the baseline and the hold is safely in Edmund's racquet bag.

Oh la la.

Fernando Verdasco wins a delightful little bit of net jousting, plopping the ball into the open court to bring up 30-30.

Two fairly straight forward service holds in the first two games.

We haven't learnt a lot yet.

Anett Kontaveit on BBC TV: "It was really tough out there. I'm really happy to be through. I think I started playing better and better, and was better with each point. I think at the beginning we were both pretty nervous.

"I do like the grass. I'm taking it match by match and seeing how it goes."

It was a close first set but Anett Kontaveit showed she was capable of playing her best tennis when it was 5-5. Her confidence then rose.

The way she ended the second set was different to the way she started the match. Anett has a big chance to go a round further than she has done.
