Katie Boulter is hanging on in there. She soaks up all the power from the second seed and when Aryna Sabalenka changes tactics, she cups into the net.

A fourth chance to break back and level.

Her roar echoes around Centre Court and beyond... massive serve from Aryna Sabalenka to fend off a third break point in this game.

Huge serve from Aryna Sabalenka and she brings it back to deuce. But Katie Boulter is bouncing around the court now, sauntering into the net and tickling a deft volley over the tape the win the point and earn another break point. Brilliant from the Brit.

Dan Evans holds once more to consolidate his break and move 5-2 ahead in the second set.

World number 42 Dusan Lajovic, serving to stay in the set, produces the very first ace of the contest to move 40-15 clear, and another fine serve at 40-30 will force Evans to serve for the set on Court One.

A scoring forehand winner from the Belarusian... one break point remaining for Katie Boulter.

Right on the money from Katie Boulter! Picking out the line on one side to draw Aryna Sabalenka wide and then finishing the point with a forehand that kisses the chalk on the other.

And now she's fist pumping some more! Another superbly executed lob, just patted over the second seed, and Boulter has two break back points.

The nerves have got to settle down... you don't want to overhit it or get too worked up. He's still a long way from home.

I'm impressed with his footwork. He was slipping and sliding early on, but he moves like a rabbit - little quick steps.

That wasn't just out... that was out of the Borough of Merton!

Aryna Sabalenka remains a break to the good, so there's some work for Katie Boulter to do but there's no doubting who the crowd are behind. A double fault from the second seed to start...

Here's how Dan Evans broke earlier...

Boulter will take that - and she is still in there fighting!

The onus is still on Sabalenka...

A big "come on!" from the British player, Katie Boulter holds to the delight of the fans.

Oh, Katie Boulter! That's sublime, and so casual. Unbelievable disguise to wrong-foot Aryna Sabalenka at the net with a clever backhand. She backs it up with a wrist-rattling serve but then cups a forehand into the tape from mid-court. Sighs around Centre Court. 40-15. Sabalenka senses a way back into this one and fires a bullet of a backhand winner down the line.

Evans is getting more pop on the forehand now. The question is when does he accelerate? When does he pull the trigger?

He changes the pace of the rally beautifully with the backhand, but with the forehand he keeps it the same pace all the time.

Not seen the sun much this week, but I'm pleased to report there are warm rays hitting pasty skin.

A healthy amount of people dotted around the grounds, including on the row of outside courts sandwiched in-between Centre and One.

In the distant you can spot a half-full Henman Hill where bums are finally able to sit on dry grass.

So far, so very good for Dan Evans.

After another hold, Evans opens fire on the Lajovic serve with a ferocious forehand to move 0-15 up.

At 15-30, Evans can only find the net as Lajovic closes in - but an error from the Serb hands Evans break point.

He strikes, and the British number one is now a set and a break up on Court One.

Ferocious serving from Aryna Sabalenka as she thrashes her way to 40-0 and then holds with an ace.

Here's how the second seed won the second set...

It's a chunked forehand that jumps long from Katie Boulter, and Aryna Sabalenka breaks.

A huge forehand exchange from both players before Sabalenka changes the direction and Boulter finds the net with a backhand. The Brit thought she'd won the game moments ago, but now faces break point.
