Right, during the change of ends I'm going to try and get you up to date if you're just joining.
They've been playing for five hours and 40 minutes. It is 04:01am in Melbourne.
Andy Murray has a metal hip. He has not reached the Australian Open third round for six years and is now one service game away.
Ok they're back at the baseline, that's all you're getting! Let's go.
