If Draper can hold his serve for the rest of this set we will go into a decider. No problems at all in the sixth game of the second set with a rapid-fire hold to love. Next.

Good work from Thanasi Kokkinakis as he keeps Draper still in striking distance with a comfortable hold to love.

Australia have won the Davis Cup 28 times and captain Lleyton Hewitt, who helped them win their last two successes in 1999 and 2003, offers his man some encouragement.

That's a massive rip on the forehand and it's really showing that Draper is growing in confidence here.

A dream Draper forehand from the baseline is just in, followed by another one to the other side of the court and the Briton is growing into this one.

The Australian band get a chance to make some noise as Kokkinakis gets himself on the board in the second set with a hold to 15 after being broken in his first service game of the set.

Draper will be able to use the crowd a bit better, he's been in this position a few times now. He's got the personality for it too.

A hold to 15, sealed with an ace that Kokkinakis can only watch and admire, is a great way for Draper to consolidate that break and he's a set down, but 2-0 up in the second.

The Brit fans enjoyed that double fault from Kokkinakis.

Safe to say he did not. The Aussie mutters something which, on the balance of probability, was not family friendly.

A good response from Draper after dropping the opening set. That is exactly what he would have wanted.

Draper was holding two break points, but only needed one of them with Kokkinakis producing a double fault at a really bad time to give the Briton control of the second set.

How will Jack Draper respond to losing that first set? Opening signs are good as the backhand is working nicely to give him two immediate break points at the start of the second set.

Draper shrugs when he walks back to his chair and pulls that face which says 'not much I could do there'.

Certainly there is little he can do when Kokkinakis serves like that.

Kokkinakis played some decent stuff, particularly in the key moments.

Not too many Aussies about so Kokkinakis' celebratory cheer is loud and clear.

The first set took over an hour, but Thanasi Kokkinakis edges out the tie-break, sealing it with another monster serve that Draper can't return.
