*Murray 4-6 6-7 (4-7) 4-5 Kokkinakis
The net is firmly team Murray now.
It bounces his shot into the air and bobs it down awkwardly for Kokkinakis. 15-0 to the Brit.
Murray is made to work a bit harder on the next point and after a good runaround puts a bit too much on his backhand slice for 15-15.

Oh it's incredible isn't it. One guy is just not used to playing under pressure, and another who has played hundreds of matches,.
That is going to start playing with Kokkinakis' mind.
*Murray 4-6 6-7 (4-7) 4-5 Kokkinakis
Surely Murray can't do this right? Surely?
Do we dare believe?
Thumbs up for yes, down for no.

Scenes.
Kokkinakis slaps the ball into the net and he's not serving out the match this time.
Murray keeps a fingernail in it as the Australian slaps the ball into the net.

The clock hits the three-hour mark.
Kokkinakis had got back to 30-30, but he whacks a forehand long and Murray has a chance to get this set back on serve.
Murray 4-6 6-7 (4-7) 3-5 Kokkinakis*
Kokkinakis gestures with his hands as if to tell the crowd, or maybe himself, to calm down as he lands a smash to make it 15-30.
It will take some nerve to beat a five-time Australian Open finalist on Margaret Court - even if you are two sets and a break up.

Murray comes out firing in response to Kokkinakis' serve and it works! The Australian misses rwice and it's 0-30.

Well Murray will have to hope Kokkinakis misses a couple of first serves, get into rallies and get into Thanasi's backhand.

Well that was easy. An ace down the middle and backhand down the line mean Murray holds to love.
Now he just needs to stop Kokkinakis serving out the match.
*Murray 4-6 6-7 (4-7) 2-5 Kokkinakis
Right, Andy Murray serving to stay in this second-round match.
Thanasi Kokkinakis gives him a helping hand by hitting the ball out for a 15-0 Murray lead.

Kokkinakis has been effective going behind Murray and has been doing the windscreen wiper - side to side.
Testing out those tired legs.
Murray has to do what he has done so often and hold serve, and hope that Kokkinakis willl get a little nervy.
*Murray 4-6 6-7 (4-7) 2-5 Kokkinakis
One game away.
Thanasi Kokkinakis absorbs all the pressure put on him by Andy Murray and releases it in a forehand winner to take a 5-2 lead in the third set.
Murray 4-6 6-7 (4-7) 2-4 Kokkinakis*
Another double fault!
I've lost track of where we're at with the lifelines now, but Murray has some hope at deuce on Kokkinakis' serve.
Murray 4-6 6-7 (4-7) 2-4 Kokkinakis*
Just as he did at the end of the second set, Kokkinakis follows up that double fault with an ace.
Lifeline withdrawn.
Murray 4-6 6-7 (4-7) 2-4 Kokkinakis*
A Kokkinakis double fault is a lifeline for Murray, bringing up 30-30.
Murray 4-6 6-7 (4-7) 2-4 Kokkinakis*
It was all so joyful when Murray was fighting with everything he had, but Kokkinakis has played excellently for the majority of this game and there is little the former world number one can do in response.
Murray 4-6 6-7 (4-7) 2-4 Kokkinakis*
Oh dear.
Kokkinakis gets the break at the first time of asking and now it is he, not Murray, who is asking for more noise from the crowd.
The Australian is now two games away from the third round.
*Murray 4-6 6-7 (4-7) 2-3 Kokkinakis
This is NOT good.
Vondrousova 6-1 5-7 6-1 Jabeur
Another match, another seed falls.
Ons Jabeur - seeded second - is out following a 6-1 5-7 6-1 defeat by Marketa Vondrousova.
If Jabeur wants to take even the slightest positive from that, at least she wasn't bagelled...
