  1. Jones holdspublished at 22:13 BST

    *Linette 4-6 6-1 0-1 Jones

    Fran Jones needed to start this deciding set well and she does just that as she races into a 40-0 lead.

    The Briton seals the game with a forehand winner down the line which Magda Linette can do nothing about.

    That will do Jones' confidence a world of good.

  2. Fearnley holds servepublished at 22:11 BST

    Fearnley 3-6 3-6 2-1 Etcheverry*

    Already there's so much more variety from Jacob Fearnley in this third set, coming into the net and forcing errors on a couple of occasions as he races to a 40-0 lead.

    A double fault on game point blots his copy book but he closes out the hold without further incident, stepping into a powerful cross-court forehand which his opponent struggles to get a racquet on.

    Linette 4-6 6-1 0-0 Jones*

    Magda Linette brings up two set points as Fran Jones is unable to get a forehand into play, and the Pole seals it in style with an ace.

    Linette has been so impressive since this match restarted, firing eight winners to Jones' zero.

    *Fearnley 3-6 3-6 1-1 Etcheverry

  5. Jones holdspublished at 22:06 BST

    *Linette 4-6 5-1 Jones

    That's much better from Fran Jones as some strong serving sees the Briton hold to love.

    She'll need to carry that momentum into this next game because Magda Linette will now serve for the set.

  6. Fearnley holds at start of third setpublished at 22:04 BST

    Fearnley 3-6 3-6 1-0 Etcheverry*

    That's the first time he's held his opening service game of a set in this match.

  7. Linette holdspublished at 22:03 BST

    Linette 4-6 5-0 Jones*

    Magda Linette is steamrolling towards winning this second set and this looks a completely different match to what it was on Tuesday.

    Fran Jones to serve to stay in the set.

    *Fearnley 3-6 3-6 0-0 Etcheverry

    Sharp defence from Jacob Fearnley, sprawling to his left to recover a backhand on the baseline and keep the rally alive. Forced to play a couple of extra shots, Tomas Martin Etcheverry nets a backhand.

  9. Linette breaks againpublished at 21:58 BST

    *Linette 4-6 4-0 Jones

    Magda Linette is on the money with her returning at the moment as some deep shots land at Fran Jones' toes which the Briton can do little about.

  10. Game and second set - Etcheverrypublished at 21:56 BST

    *Fearnley 3-6 3-6 0-0 Etcheverry

    Nothing Jacob Fearnley can do about that one! A big first serve from the Argentine and it cramps Fearnley for room, with his forehand flying wide.

    Huge roar from Tomas Martin Etcheverry.

    He's one set away from the third round - but don't count out the Brit quite yet. He's completed three or four remarkable comeback wins this season, including in his tournament opener when he was 5-2 down in the fourth set before winning 10 of the next 11 games to flip the match on its head.

  11. Fourth set point Etcheverrypublished at 21:56 BST

    He was under the cosh throughout that final set but he saves four break points and the home crowd pull him through in the end.

    Shelton's girlfriend, US football star Trinity Rodman, is on her feet and cheering, wearing a T-shirt that says "I love my boyfriend".

  18. 'If I am Boulter, I would be on the practice court tomorrow'published at 21:40 BST

    Boulter 1-6 0-6 Muchova

    Daniela Hantuchova
    Former world number five on BBC Radio 5 Live

    I would be really humbled, I would sit down with my team and say 'OK, we need to change something big time'.

    First of all, it was very obvious today that it was the serve. I feel like it needs to be cleared up because she was losing the rhythm and not using her legs. That's number one thing.

    If I am Boulter, I would be on the practice court tomorrow. If she still wants to invest everything into her tennis and then she needs to be on the court.

    Muchova earned seven break points in the match, with Boulter unable to save any of them.

    Unfortunately for Katie, it was not the best day in the office. Only 58 minutes played but Karolina had a lot to do with that because she so dominant and very solid with everything.
