It's over six minutes since the second set concluded and Jay Clarke has just returned to court after popping away to the locker room.

Dan Evans doesn't look too happy as he stretches at the baseline.

Looks like we're finally ready to go.

Fran Jones is on fire and has taken the opening set, she's everywhere on the court and is looking cool, calm and collected in front of the home crowd.

And that's done and dusted in 26 minutes.

Dan Evans is very fired up.

He uttered "come on Evo" to himself a couple of times during the last few games of that second set and then let out a huge "Come on!" after nailing the break.

It was cat and mouse in a tight second set but that break proved crucial and Evans is a set away from round two.

Caty McNally is in full control of the second set, winning three consecutive games.

Jodie Burrage is at full stretch as she tries to return McNally's forehand but she hits into the net and is now down a double break.

She's struggling to control her shots and McNally is rather comfortable.

Yuliia Starodubtseva has managed to get her first game of the opening set against Brit Fran Jones.

Jones is producing some solid serves and Starodubtseva can't quite get a hold on her return.

Dan Evans has been a lot more emotive over the past couple of games.

It's pouring out as the game goes and a lob gets him to 40-15.

Brit George Loffhagen looks deflated after he double faults and then hits into the net to give Pedro Martinez a 40-0 advantage.

His sweeping forehand gets him on the board but his next one is long.

Loffhagen is broken for the third time as Martinez moves in front again.

Jay Clarke had a word with the umpire at the change of ends. It wasn't entirely clear what the conversation was about but it seemed to hang on Dan Evans taking a bit too long between points.

Dan Evans gets it.

Jay Clarke will be hugely disappointed with those final two points.

Evans will serve for the set.

Three massive opportunities for Taylor Fritz!

Jay Clarke gets drawn in to trying the drop shot and it's the wrong call. It lands short and Dan Evans has break point.

Jay Clarke continues this incredible run of winning points on serve - taking his tally to 11 - as he leads 40-0.

But an unforced error invites Dan Evans in.

Alexandra Eala is a fantastic young talent but it wasn't to be.

She came out of the blocks firing but in the end the defending champion Barbora Krejoikova drew on all of her experience and perhaps had more in the tank.

Eala's legs looked a little heavy but she will come back stronger, I have no doubt about it.

Considering the trouble she had at times, it's surprising to look at the match statistics and see Barbora Krejcikova got 68% of her first serves in. Six double faults is a number she will want to reduce in her future matches, though.

In her on-court interview with Lee McKenzie, she talks about her injury troubles of the past few months and how special she has found it to return as the defending Wimbledon champion.

It's another solid game on serve for Taylor Fritz, who doesn't give Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard a sniff of an opportunity to break.

One of these two will have to blink at some point, but who?

Dan Evans keeps it on serve with his second successive hold to love.

Neither player has dropped a point in each of their past two services games.

Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard hits three aces to easily keep hold.

His last - which topped out at 139mph - was his 37th of the match so far.
