The Romanians are killing the final set v HUN (4-0)

GB won the 1st set 6-1 - Hev has now won 15/16 Fed Cup doubles sets, Joss 5/6!

Great to see Jo pull out the win in the end.

With regards to the sets won stats, does the tiebreak come down to number won or number lost? (I always get confused in round robins and I'm sure they change the rules every time I think I've just about understood it)

The Romanians bagelled the Hungarians in the final set of the doubles to win the tie.

Meanwhile, Hev's 15-0 record in Fed Cup doubles sets is under threat - Latvia are a break up in the 2nd set 6-1 2-3*

The FedCup stream is now 'generously' providing a still pic for about 1 second in every 30 - plus the score for the wrong match!

Phil: "Some epic smashing at the net, gives us a chance to break here and win the match."

then "Match point so close, 95/100 times that would have been GSM."

The Latvians then break Joss's serve

"Big shame, we're edging this, but it maybe going 3. 5-6*"

I know!

Though it's not good - GB 3-4* down in the 3rd (but they did just hold from 0-30)

Hev put up a desperate lob early in the game, leaving the Latvian with a relatively easy smash at the net which she put way long!

A fierce forehand from Joss to get bp and and forehand return winner from Hev sealed the break.
