    Remember, Britain now need to win two consecutive, but different length, tie-breaks if they are to reach the final - as a 10-point breaker is played instead of a third set in Billie Jean King Cup doubles.

    Hawk-Eye is called into action straight away but it proves the line judge's decision to be correct and the first point is Australia's.

    A 40-15 hold for Australia with solid hitting from Sam Stosur.

    A comfortable hold to 15 for Australia and the pressure swings back on to the shoulders of the GB pair.

    The British team need to be really boosted by this lead and swing out on these returns if they can get a racquet on the ball.

    Barnett/Nicholls 6-7 (1-7) 5-3 Sanders/Stosur*

    GB find themselves 0-30 down but scramble back to level, and then to game point with a nice touch from Olivia Nicholls at the net.

    Australia get an opportunity to break back though, as the game goes to deuce, but GB avert the danger with a overhead smash.

    For all Sam Stosur’s success and experience, she has had very little success on the doubles tour in recent months and she is definitely the weaker link for Australia right now.

    Barnett and Nicholls just love these occasions...can they turn the semi-final around?

    Not to be this time, Sam Stosur hitting a forehand down the line that GB can only push out of court.

    BUT THEN. GB get the break as Stosurs returns wide.

    Pandemonium in Glasgow.
