    Oh wow! Dan Evans thinks he's won the point, rushing to the net with Macos Giron on the run. But the American somehow reaches a volley from the Brit and sticks it back beyond him at the net with a superb passing forehand winner at full stretch. Deuce.

    Double fault for Dan Evans, could do without those creeping in. A smattering of encouraging applause from the onlookers dotted around court 10. Evans dusts himself down and edges to 40-30, heading back off for his towel to wipe the sweat from his forehead and then pounding down a big serve to hold. He loves that.

    Marcos Giron is faffing with his baseball cap, it's still donned backwards after a quick shuffle.

    Getting quite vocal now, Dan Evans. He knows this is getting towards the business end and would love to wrap up the match in four sets. Marcos Giron shakes his head after finding the net and Evans takes a snappy love hold.

    That was a really good hold from Giron. In the end, it was quite a difficult volley.

    You can hear how intense Evans is right now. He is jumping around in between points and racing from side-to-side.

    Ooof! Just wouldn't drop in for Dan Evans. Marcos Giron sent him out wide, came to the net and then sat back as the Brit hooked a forehand narrowly wide. Deuce.

    Now a chance for Dan Evans... edging to a mini break at 15-30 and then earning himself a break point as Marcos Giron flicks a backhand into the tape. Big moment for Evans.

    It's about getting yourself switched on. Evans has played such good tennis so far in the match so he knows the level is there.

    He has one set to go all out here then he is done and can recover for round three.

    I think he has the ability to switch it on and off when he needs to.

    Right then. A quick rest and reset for Dan Evans, now can he take the fourth set to book his spot in the US Open third round?
