Andy Murray returns to Centre Court on day three at Wimbledon after overcoming a third-set crisis against Nikoloz Basilashvili.

The 34-year-old had edged the first two sets before surging into a 5-0 lead in the third as the finish line moved came into view. However, in an instant, the two-time former champion’s confidence seemed to desert him and he lost the next seven games in succession. Eventually, though, he was able to close out his first victory at Wimbledon since 2017 after another titanic back-and-forth battle in the fourth set. He will now face Oscar Otte, who won a dramatic match of his own, defeating qualifier Arthur Rinderknech 13-12 in the fifth and final set.

Elsewhere, Daniel Evans is back in action after an impressive win against Feliciano Lopez while Venus Williams, Bianca Andreescu and Elina Svitolina all continue their campaigns.

Here is everything you need to know:
