Greg Rusedski
Former British number one on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra 2 and BBC Sounds

I'm just wondering how Cameron Norrie will react here, having blinked, having had a match point, having been a little tentative on that first serve and having been predictable in the most important moment.
I'm really interested in that because the momentum is with Nicolas Jarry right now.

This is some match, honestly. These two are just firing it at one another.

It isn't quite the same level of support for Emma Raducanu in Aryna Sabalenka's previous outing on Centre Court, but the majority of those watching here seem to be behind Elise Mertens, with the closed roof amplifying their support.
It means the world number one is again having to battle against her opponent and the crowd but she is close now to sealing the win to progress. A break of serve here - as she did at this point in the first set - will do the job.

Jeff Tarango
Former American tennis player on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra 2 and BBC Sounds

Aryna Sabalenka was down 3-1 and she just started shaking her head and yelling at her box a little bit. Then all of a sudden, we saw her just scratch her head, walk to the back of the court and come back completely composed.
Elise Mertens is staying with her punch for punch though, so this is really becoming a contested set.
Jarry holdspublished at 17:21 British Summer Time 6 July
Jarry 3-6 6-7 (4-7) 7-6 (9-7) 2-1 Norrie*

Nicolas Jarry takes a risk by stepping up to the net. His forehand clips the net cord and offers Cameron Norrie a great chance but the Briton's passing shot is volleyed back for a winner.
Jarry tries to repeat that sequence when leading 40-15 but the ball crashes off his racquet and balloons long.
The Chilean gets the hold on the next point.
Mertens holdspublished at 17:18 British Summer Time 6 July
*Sabalenka 6-4 4-4 Mertens

My word, Elise Mertens needed that.
The Belgian saves two break points, firing three aces in a row to keep the hold.

John Lloyd
Former GB Davis Cup captain on BBC One

When you have been out of it as much as Jarry has in terms of playing matches, you can get fit off the court training, but you get a lot of it by playing matches - that makes you tougher and stronger.
He has thrown that into pretty much a two week period. I'm amazed has has bounced back as much as he has.
Norrie holdspublished at 17:17 British Summer Time 6 July
*Jarry 3-6 6-7 (4-7) 7-6 (9-7) 1-1 Norrie

Cameron Norrie responds in kind.
The Briton dusts himself down after losing that tie-break and claims a hold to 15 of his own.

Tim Henman
Former British number one on BBC One

You have to say Jarry deserves this. He has stuck in there. He came up with the right shots at the right time.
He has fought hard but Norrie will be annoyed with that match-point opportunity on his serve.
A quality set of tennis from both men.

Greg Rusedski

Here comes Nicolas Jarry!
He saved a match point by being brave and being bold. That backhand really got him out of trouble. He really deserved to win this third set.
We could be in for another long match here on Court One.

*Jarry 3-6 6-7 (4-7) 6-6 (9-7) 0-0 Norrie

Nicolas Jarry came from two sets behind to beat eighth seed Holger Rune in the first round, so he knows what it takes to get back from the brink at this championship.
The Chilean will serve first in the fourth set.
Sabalenka holdspublished at 17:11 British Summer Time 6 July

A huge roar from Nicolas Jarry as a forehand cracks into the back board for a winner.
He closes the gap and Cameron Norrie, having had a match point in that tie-break, is as far away from victory as he was about an hour ago.
