Looks like we will get another chance to see Jonny and Scott as I think they have won by retirement.

 Lorenzi had such a tight singles match, that only finished today, and he won, so may well be conserving fitness for the singles. (I'd think it was him and not Mannarino)

But, either way, well done Jonny and Scott !

And here's to a streamed court next time smile

90 points that will do wonders to their rankings.

Sorry for the opponents - but delighted that those taking advantage, having from the scoreline (since we can't see it) played a good well-fought match, are Mr O'Mara and Mr Clayton.

Meanwhile Sousa and Edmund are at 1-1 and 4-4 having held serve in an epic game - lost track of the deuces. It sounds, from the stream, as if Joao Sousa has among the most vocal fans I have ever heard at Wimbledon. I can also see - first time I've seen them - why Raja and Sharan have done so well. They're a good team.

Quick dip into the Marcus Willis/Jay Clarke match, too (3-2 on serve). First time seeing Jay Clarke in doubles - can see why people are excited.

They won't be complaining about the £8.250 each either.  Delighted for them.

If the seedings go to plan, they have a nice easy one next against the top seeds, Kontinen/Peers.  If not, it will be Fognini/Seppi.

Strange that Jay, whose forehand is his way stronger side, is playing on the backhand side. And that Marcus, who is left-handed, is also playing on his backhand side.
I guess it's Marcus calling the shots here as he's used to playing that side and his backhand is a useful, crafty tool. But it's a bit bizarre....

Great news that Scott & Johnny got through they are definitely a pair that could make a career out of doubles

Some excellent play from Jay as he and Marcus take the third set on the tie-break. 6-7 5-7 7-6

5-0* with Jay leading the way. But Marcus did hit consecutive aces a few games ago to get out of trouble.

Into a decider. I've been very impressed with Jay, I turned on at 5-5 in the 3rd and he's been by far the best player on the court while I've been watching.
