    Evans is jumping out of his skin. What a game that was! He has really capitalised on some very good play. He has been sharp. He is full of energy, no moping about after those two losses, he's just bouncing around.

    "Let's goooooooooo!" screams Dan Evans as he bends over double in celebration.

    More Union Jacks per person here than a Royal shindig at the Palace. They're wafting rather regally as every Brit in the place leaps north out of their seat.
