Dan Evans will be hoping for a few more Davis Cup years to come. As of today, he is second on the all-time list of GB Davis Cup appearances.

“It’s not something I knew much about before this week,” he told BBC Sport.

“I just love coming to represent my country in any way, really. There’s been plenty of ties where I’ve not played and sat on the bench - it’s just as good near as to playing.”

Well played once again. Tomas Martin Etcheverry is handling the pressure and this noisy atmosphere very impressively. Still neither player can make a breakthrough in set two.

A deft touch from Tomas Martin Etcheverry delicately floats a big Dan Evans volley back over the net, but the Argentine double faults on the next point. 30-30.

The serve comes up clutch again, though, as Etcheverry levels the set. On we go...

It's a huge hold for Dan Evans, showing his metal once again wearing British colours.

He came up with the big serves when required.

The Briton digs deep with a couple of big serves to see himself through.

Dan Evans waves his arms up and down. He's pumped up and he wants more noise from this Manchester crowd.

Dropping serve here could be disastrous for Dan Evans. He's got work to do after going 0-30 down.

Etcheverry continuing to be aggressive and looking to get to the net. We've still not had a break point in this second set.

Tomas Martin Etcheverry keeps the Argentina fans in high spirits.

He's playing so aggressively and Dan Evans, more often than not, just can't keep up.

It's a very difficult ball to negotiate and Evans sprints his way back to his chair, still full of beans.

Maybe that outburst of anger was just what Dan Evans needed.

He rushes through a love hold and sprints back to his chair with a raised fist. That's more like it.

A quick change of racquets and he's ready to go again.

A few shocked exclamations as Evans threatens to send his frame to the racquet cemetery.

The British talisman is a frustrated figure out there at the moment.

Opportunities are rare. As are mistakes from his opponent.

And Evans misses on the angle. Etcheverry again taking the sting out of proceedings, as he's done so effectively in this match today.

Yikes. Dan Evans is not happy. The Briton shows his frustrations by angrily whacking his racquet off the court.

Once isn't enough and he has a few more shots at the floor before Tomas Martin Etcheverry sees the hold through.

Dan Evans keeps on going. After watching an ace from Tomas Martin Etcheverry fly by, he works the next point well and we're back at deuce.

I thought this was supposed to be a home net! I think Etcheverry's bought it a steak and a glass of Malbec at some point.

The net cord works in Tomas Martin Etcheverry's favour once again, but Dan Evans manages to get there and keep himself in the game.

A rare unforced error from the Argentine brings us to deuce. A half chance for Evans?

Colin Fleming
Former British tennis player

He's going to leave it all out there Dan Evans, that's for sure. Again Etcheverry able to work a situation where he could approach to the backhand.

That's a beautiful little dink down low and this is probably Evans' favourite pass on the backhand, down the line.

He struck that with real conviction and we may well see a few more of those. He's a fighter, that's for sure.

Brilliant. [Evans] is turning it on and he's staying in contention.

Another moment of inspiration from Dan Evans to clinch the hold of serve and a 3-2 lead.

An overhead at the net hands Dan Evans the advantage and he makes the most of it, squeezing in a winner down the line as Tomas Martin Etcheverry waited at the net.

A fist pump and a few jumps on the spot show he's pleased with that.

Spider-man reflexes there from Dan Evans, who has his back turned from play but he gets his racquet up quick enough to stop Tomas Martin Etcheverry from slamming down a winner.

The Briton is brought to deuce on his own serve, though, after firing long.
