    Britain's Andy Murray defied the odds yet again as he reached the Wimbledon third round by beating German qualifier Oscar Otte in another thriller which finished under the Centre Court lights.

    The Scot led by a set and a break but momentum switched to Otte, an SW19 debutant ranked 151st in the world.

    Murray, 34, looked weary as Otte won the third set for a 2-1 lead, before darkness forced the pair off court.

    But with the crowd behind him, Murray fought back to win 6-3 4-6 4-6 6-4 6-2.

    The 7,500 fans allowed inside Centre Court as part of the government's event research programme had been subdued until Murray urged them for more support from the fourth set onwards.

    Then it turned into an electric atmosphere as a pumped-up Murray played himself towards victory, backed by the sound of singing and chanting from the partisan crowd.

    This really has been a week of epic sport. It shows you after what everyone has been through, how much a crowd matters. They fired him up, he fired them up.

    In two matches he has been on court for seven hours and 23 minutes. He wanted match practice, he has got it.

    It's going to get much, much tougher for Andy Murray with 10th seed Denis Shapovalov of Canada waiting in round three.

    Shapovalov had a walkover win today so he's going to feel super fresh. Murray will be very relieved that he's got tomorrow to rest.
