Andy Murray v Roger Federer – Wimbledon men's final

The decision has been made. The roof will be closed. And that doesn't bode well for Murray, because Federer is the best indoor player in the world. Yes, the conditions will be a touch slower, but the lack of wind means Federer will be serving to a higher percentage and will be able to go for the lines a little more. There again, staying positive, can you imagine what the atmosphere will be like under the roof? And that's got to work in Murray's favour.

It's raining, it's pouring
Play continues briefly. 15-0, 30-0, 40-0 on Federer's serve. But ladies and gentlemen, play is now suspended. Murray almost gets eaten up by the groundstaff and the covers, he's in no rush to leave the court, but he eventually trudges off. The break couldn't have come at a better time for him. It's not clear yet whether this is a passing shower, in which case the roof won't go on, or whether it's going to last longer. If the roof is closed, we're looking at a delay of around 30 minutes or so. But trust the British weather to add to the drama.

Third set: Murray 6-4, 5-7, 1-1 Federer* (*denotes next server)
Murray looks rattled but just about stays in touch. 30-all. 40-30. Game. He lets out a little yelp. "Loving the blow by blow coverage and updating the page way more often than necessary," says James Burn. "Thanks to the EU for forcing mobile companies to charge more reasonable prices for data roaming." And we could soon be thanking the rain too – with Murray on the ropes, an odd umbrella or two springs up on Murray Mound.
