    4:05 AM FINISH!! Murray's epic 5-set comeback

    Follow live updates and scores from the Australian Open as the third round gets underway. Cameron Norrie is looking to build on Andy Murray’s incredible comeback on Thursday, as the 35-year-old defeated Thanasi Kokkinakis in five hours and 45 minutes. British No 1 Norrie faces the talented young Czech Jiri Lehecka.

    It’s another big day for the American players at Melbourne Park: first Madison Keys faces Victoria Azerenka to kick off the night session on Rod Laver Arena, before the in-form Sebastian Korda takes on Daniil Medvedev, who continues his quest to reach a third consecutive Australian Open final. Earlier, Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula remain on a collision course after straight-sets wins, while Iga Swiatek was in impressive form to thrash Cristina Bucsa 6-0 6-1.

    It comes after a dramatic Thursday, as top seeds including Ons Jabeur and Casper Ruud tumbled from the tournament. Novak Djokovic advanced, but there is significant concern surrounding the nine-time champion’s hamstring injury.

    Response from Norrie - and what a stunning forehand winner this is! This should deflate any momentum Lehecka wanted to create. Norrie first frustrated the Czech with an exchange at the net, and then whipped the forehand winner crosscourt on break point. Impressive.

    Australian Open 2023: Cameron Norrie 7-6 3-6 6-3 Jiri Lehecka* - Norrie wins third set

    The errors are starting to fly off the Lehecka strings, two straight returns go long of the baseline - the first an aggressive return, the second a floating chip - and it brings up three set points for Norrie.

    He takes it after Lehecka stetches for a forehand, another shot long, and Norrie wraps up the third set in just 29 minutes. Plenty of control on display there, from the British No 1.
