    The Australians' serve has been untouchable all match. Break it now and Patten and Heliovaara are champions.

    We'll see how Thompson holds out here. If anyone was going to be broken then you'd think he is the one to have a go at.

    Harri Heliovaara hits a forehand on the approach which Max Purcell can't handle and the British-Finnish pair do enough to hold.

    Jordan Thompson will serve to keep his team in the match. If not, Britain will have its first champion at Wimbledon in 2024.

    Patten's first serve went off there but he did really well to win that game. The Australians put him under a lot of pressure.

    Look what it means! Henry Patten roars with delight after the Australians fire a lob long to hand him a hold.

    Suddenly, it's the Aussies who look worried. They've got to serve to deny Patten and Harri Heliovaara the championship.

    Better. Patten's second serve forces Jordan Thompson into an error. He then stays strong at the net to set up game point.

    If Henry Patten wins today, he doubles his career prize money.

    Oh, for sure that was important. The way these four have been serving any break point is practically match point at this stage.

    Harri Heliovaara knows how important that hold was to stay in front.
