    It's 4am here and we've been watching this match for well over five hours.

    And we still don't know who is going to win.

    Mad sport.

    Murray 4-6 6-7 (4-7) 7-6 (7-5) 6-3 5-5 Kokkinakis*

    Nope.

    Murray is caught going backwards as he tries to hit a forehand and it sails wide as a result.

    On we go.

    Net chord says no to Kokkinakis' forehand. A third chance for Murray to go ahead.

    Kokkinakis is pulling these out of the bag when it matters most.

    Kokkinakis misses and Murray has two chances to break. If he gets one of these, he will serve for the match next.

    Amongst all this drama, a little graphic from our social media team to lighten the mood.

    Murray has been playing for five hours and 34 minutes and it is now 3.55am in Melbourne. Brutal.

    It's another close call!

    Murray is darting all over the place and Kokkinakis tries for a lob, but it lands just out.

    Murray stays in it.

    Murray's serve gets him out of the hole. Kokkinakis' backhand return lands out and it's game point to the Brit.

    No, no, no. Kokkinakis gets on the front foot again, jumps in the air and slams down a forehand winner. That's deuce.

    Too much on it this time from Kokkinakis. The ball sails out and it's 30-30.

    Uh oh.

    Kokkinakis brings out the big guns and is 30-15 up on Murray's serve - two points away from victory.

    The net cord has been on Andy Murray's side for much of this match, but this time it finally hits one for Thanasi Kokkinakis.

    The ball drops off it onto Murray's side of the court and brings up 15-15 on Murray's serve.

    All of a sudden the pressure is on Andy, and the players are so tired at this stage I don't know if the nerves are coming back into the match.

    You keep rolling on and you are just too exhausted to feel the nerves.
