  1. Van Assche holds at start of second setpublished at 20:08 BST

    *Norrie 7-6 (8-6) 0-1 Van Assche

    It will be Luca Van Assche to serve first in set two, following a first set lasting over an hour.

    Will the French 22-year-old be able to quickly move on from losing that first set, or will it be playing on his mind?

    As far as this first game is concerned, it appears to be the former. A love hold is the ideal start for him.

    Norrie, the more experienced player, played well under pressure. We saw a double fault from Van Assche in the tiebreaker and a couple of errors for a couple of really big points and Norrie does what Norrie does - just compete really well in a tiebreaker and was basically just biding his time.

    Norrie 7-6 (8-6) 0-0 Van Assche

    Great resilience from Cameron Norrie. After seeing those first two set points disappear, the Briton goes again and gets his reward this time!

    Luca Van Assche can't keep out the 29th seed for a third time. A big celebration from Norrie, who will hope to really push on now.

    Norrie 6-6 (6-6) Van Assche*

    What a shot that is from Luca Van Assche!

    Having saved the first set point, the Frenchman stays solid in defence before whacking a forehand winner perfectly into the back corner of Cameron Norrie's court to level the tie-break after 12 points.

    What a tussle this is turning out to be.

  6. Game and first set - Medvedevpublished at 20:00 BST

    Medvedev 6-4 0-0 Gaston*

    So far, so good for Daniil Medvedev as he serves out the opening set.

    He faced one break point in his opening service game, but it's been plain sailing since then. Hugo Gaston hasn't had a look in.

    The Frenchman receives some treatment before the start of the second set, getting some strapping wrapped around his right wrist.

    Norrie 6-6 (6-4) Van Assche*

    Ouch.

    A double fault from Luca Van Assche gifts Cameron Norrie two set points!

    Norrie's been waiting for those opportunities. He's staying in the rally, waiting for the short ball, hit the backhand across the court or the forehand down the line and that time it was perfect.

  9. Tie-breakpublished at 19:58 BST

    Norrie 6-6 (5-4) Van Assche*

    Another "allez!" from Cameron Norrie rings around the arena as Luca Van Assche gets a forehand all wrong.

    And now it is advantage Norrie, following in a serve to volley his way to a 5-3 lead.

    But a miss at the net denies him his first set points.

  10. Tie-breakpublished at 19:56 BST

    Norrie 6-6 (3-3) Van Assche*

    Cameron Norrie makes no mistake with this latest forehand, levelling the tie-break at three points apiece before the change of ends.

    We said it was likely going to be a close one...

  11. Tie-breakpublished at 19:55 BST

    Norrie 6-6 (2-3) Van Assche*

    Cameron Norrie restores parity with a backhand winner, but then hands advantage back to Luca Van Assche as he sends a forehand wide. Both players struggling for consistency in these key moments.

    Norrie was in big trouble there when he saved some break points and has got himself into a tie-break. I think his coach will be relatively happy about the position he's in.

  13. Tie-breakpublished at 19:54 BST

    *Norrie 6-6 (1-2) Van Assche

    A poor miss at the net by Cameron Norrie offers Luca Van Assche a big boost at the start of the tie-break.

    The Briton then frames a shot well beyond the baseline, but Norrie is on the board as Van Assche nets with the court at his mercy.

    *Norrie 6-6 (0-0) Van Assche

    Cameron Norrie is looking to strike a huge blow here on Luca Van Assche's serve.

    After twice breaking back to level this opening set, it is now Norrie applying the pressure as he nudges ahead at 15-30.

    On an important fifth point, Norrie looks to be in charge but nets a backhand to give Van Assche a game point. Another miss - we're going to a tie-break.

  15. Norrie holds servepublished at 19:46 BST

    Norrie 6-5 Van Assche*

    Somewhat surprisingly, Cameron Norrie is the one shouting "allez" as he reaches game points against France's Luca Van Assche.

    He lets out another celebratory shout in his opponent's language as he holds to once again move a game away from the set.

  16. Van Assche holds servepublished at 19:43 BST

    *Norrie 5-5 Van Assche

    No trouble whatsoever for Luca Van Assche as he swiftly serves his way to a love hold which keeps him in the first set. He handled that situation superbly, you have to say.

    Back over to Cameron Norrie. Can he quickly put the pressure back on his opponent?

  17. Medvedev breaks firstpublished at 19:39 BST

    *Medvedev 4-3 Gaston

    Daniil Medvedev and Hugo Gaston are bringing the entertainment! After going 30-15 up on serve with a brilliant get from a clip off the net cord, Gaston decides to have a pop at the underarm serve.

    It gets an 'oooh' from the crowd, but Medvedev is alert to it and the Russian wins the point before grabbing the first break of the match.

    Norrie 5-4 Van Assche*

    Cameron Norrie lands his 10th winner of the match to edge ahead on serve, overtaking his unforced error count.

    He's serving much better and finding his marks here - and from 4-2 down the Briton is within reach of the set.

  19. 'Credit to Norrie'published at 19:36 BST

    I have to give Norrie credit - that's two points from him at the baseline. Great effort and now he's back on serve.

  20. Norrie breaks back for second timepublished at 19:36 BST

    *Norrie 4-4 Van Assche

    Cameron Norrie was staring at a 5-2 deficit when Luca Van Assche forced a break point in the seventh game.

    But he survived that, and now levels up the set for a second time. Gritty stuff from the British number one, and his refusal to go away will certainly be frustrating his opponent.
