    Sad to report the cringiest cheer in Premier League football has arrived at Melbourne Park.

    Hearing what you think are boos on the 5 Live comms? Nope, pretty sure they are 'Siuuuuus'.

    That's the thing Cristiano Ronaldo shouts - with 75,000 Manchester United fans joining in - when he scores.

    Game point to Murray, who finds an excellent time to charge forward and spin over the most gentle of drop shots. Lovely.

    One more game, just one more, and Murray is through to the second round...

    You have to give a lot of credit to Basilashvili for staying in the rally.

    It's another twist to this intriguing match.

    Both men get suckered into a long rally that neither of them wanted or needed, and it's Basilashvili who finds the bit of extra pace exactly when he needs it.

    Shot number 30 is a clean winner that Murray can only watch spin past him.

    Cheers greeted that backhand miss by Murray for 15-30 - because nobody thought he would not stick it away to safety.

    They were still cheering as Murray stood still with his fingertips scratching his forehand.

    Only when the big screen showed the replay did they realise.

    Andy Murray is in the perfect position at the net to bob away a backhand, but he can't believe his eyes as he pings it long!

    The Brit swings down a big serve for 30-30 but Basilashvili earns himself a break back point with a wonderful return of serve that Murray pushes long.

    These are two tired players doing their utmost to keep the points short.

    Basilashvili gets himself two game points before he tries to pick up a forehand and ends up flicking it into the foot of the net.

    That'll be a hold, though, as Murray errs from the baseline.

    We have to keep reminding ourselves that Murray was effectively retired by this tournament three years ago.

    Here he is in another five setter - just to be out on this court is a heroic achievement.

    Murray's serve is working so well as he fires down an ace to start the game.

    It's another rapidfire game for Murray, nailing serve after serve as he races to a love hold.
