It's all going a bit pear-shaped at the moment:

Evans-Bonnevie - Oliver a set down

Baker-(4) McGee 6-7 6-4 2(?)-6

Illy-Stouff 2-4

Rice-O'Brien 3-6 6-7(4) GSM

Disappointing from Dr No - as an up and coming young players, I'd hoped he would be able to beat a player ranked just 16 places above him.

It'll be interesting to see what Josh has to say about Jamie B, especially if he ever saw him in his heyday, as it were, and I've no idea what's up with Illingworth these days, I'd fancy Rob Dee's chances against him (ok, maybe not!)

Wot no puns today?

How about "1st set Illy Stouffed"

I also considered for earlier match - "Ruddy Coco!"

If getting fed a bagel is losing a set 6-0, after Marcus's win today, maybe winning a set easily but losing the other to on t/bs should be called getting fed meatballs?

I can't see it catching on ...

LOL

Things are looking up (if not on the puns front) - Illy has taken the 2nd set t/b 7-5 against Stouff and Milton is a double break up - he was meant to be playing the no. 1 seed, so unless he pulled out and has been replaced by a LL, that's very impressive indeed!

Things are looking great for Milton and this would be a fantastic win for him if he can finish this off.

Doesn't look to have been the greatest day, but some good wins for Willis, Ward, Phillips and it looks like Illy is going to close this out as well, while there's still one more all-GB match to go.

Shame that Baker and Rice couldn't win their matches as they looked winnable and would have made the day that little bit better.

Don't know what is going on with Eaton, but that's a bad result for him. Given how he plays in futures at the moment, I'd suggest that perhaps he gives up playing futures and just does challenger/ATP qualifying, as he seems to be able to raise his game for that.

Illingworth won 2-6, 7-6(5), 6-4
Milton won 6-1, 6-3 - brilliant win
Bains is a set down
Bloomers 3-3 Pauffley
