  1. Murray 5-1 Basilashvili*

    Errors all over the show, and it's three set points to Murray...

  2. 'Murray sailing through the set'

    Russell Fuller
    Tennis correspondent in Melbourne

    Andy Murray is sailing through the first set. He is all over Nikoloz Basilashvili at the moment.

  3. Murray a game away from set

    Murray 5-1 Basilashvili*

    At the minute, all Andy Murray has to do is put the ball into court and wait for the error to come from his opponent.

    A delicious drop shot wraps up another speedy hold from the Brit and, after barely half an hour, Nikoloz Basilashvili will serve to stay in the set.

  4. Murray breaks again

    *Murray 4-1 Basilashvili

    Basilashvili has Murray on the run - but another unforced error, the Georgian swinging and missing, hands Murray another break!

    We've not even been going for 20 minutes...

  5. Murray 3-1 Basilashvili*

    Basilashvili sprays another forehand long, and it's two more break points to Murray...

  6. Murray extends lead

    Murray 3-1 Basilashvili*

    The unforced errors are flying off Basilashvili's racquet, although he strings together a couple of powerful forehands to outmuscle Murray.

    Murray, however, merely whacks down consecutive aces from 30-30 to back up his early break.

  7. *Watson 1-0 Sherif

    There's double Brit action this morning - Heather Watson has just got going against Mayar Sherif out on court eight.

    It is nine years since Watson made a run to the third round of the Australian Open, while Sherif made history last year as the first Egyptian woman to win an Grand Slam main draw match.

    Watson's qualifying wins in Adelaide snapped a seven match losing streak dating back to Cincinnati last year, but it is main draw wins that count.

    And in fact, Watson has just broken Sherif to start the match.

  8. 'Clean, disciplined Murray'

    * Murray 2-1 Basilashvili

    Chanda Rubin
    American former world number six on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Very clean, disciplined hitting from Murray, keeping Basilashvili in the space he wants him to be in, and controlling the tempo of these points.

    It looks like he has a bit of a strategy.

  9. Murray breaks

    *Murray 2-1 Basilashvili

    Nikoloz Basilashvili sprays a wild, wayward backhand over the baseline, and the first break goes the way of Andy Murray.

  10. Break points to Murray

    Murray 1-1 Basilashvili*

    Andy Murray undoes Nikolaz Basilashvili with his slice backhand, and another miss from the Georgian hands Murray two break points.

  11. Murray 1-1 Basilashvili*

    My word.

    To describe this shank from Nikolaz Bashilashvili would be an affront to the word shank. He gets a second serve all sorts of wrong, the ball flying off the frame and missing the court entirely. Ouch.

    0-15.

  12. Chanda Rubin
    American former world number six on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    Murray is a champion and the reason he is a champion and has been a champion is evident in how he has handled his comeback.

  13. Murray holds

    Murray 1-1 Basilashvili*

    Andy Murray finds some nice movement around the court, and Nikoloz Basilashvili sprays a couple of wild shots out of bounds to help the Brit hold to love.

  14. *Murray 0-1 Basilashvili

    Jonathan Jurejko
    BBC Sport at Melbourne Park

    Some breaking news from the men's singles draw... eighth seed Casper Ruud is out.

    The 23-year-old Norwegian has an ankle injury and has been replaced by lucky loser Roman Safiullin, who was beaten in qualifying to Britain's Liam Broady.

    Guess who's in that part of the draw? Andy Murray. Ruud was a prospective last-16 opponent.

  15. Basilashvili holds

    *Murray 0-1 Basilashvili

    Basilashvili is on a five-match losing streak, having reached the final of Indian Wells towards the end of last season.

    He rattles through a quick hold to 15, with an ace and a big first serve speeding things along.

  16. Murray 0-0 Basilashvili*

    Straight into it with a 17-shot rally, and it's Andy Murray who glides a backhand into the foot of the net.

    Bad news for you British tennis fans waking up super early back home. We've lost another one while you were sleeping.

    Qualifier Harriet Dart was unable to maintain a strong start as she lost in the Australian Open first round to seventh seed Iga Swiatek.

    Dart, 25, broke for a 2-1 lead in the first set as she settled quickly and hurt Swiatek with some classy winners.

    But Poland's Swiatek, 20, found her rhythm, winning five games in a row to turn the match in her favour.

    The 2020 French Open champion continued her high level in a one-sided second set to wrap up a 6-3 6-0 victory.

  20. Murray v Basilashvili

    Andy Murray beat Nikoloz Basilashvili when the two met at the Sydney International last week.

    In fact, Murray has a 2-0 winning record over the Georgian, having also beaten him in the first round at Wimbledon last year.
