Indian Wells as it happened: Cameron Norrie and Dan Evans headlined the early action in second round

Norrie gobbles up the final-set bagel with another comfortable hold and belatedly gets the win after two hours and 15 minutes against a physically struggling opponent.

Cam will now meet Bautista Agut in round three.

Yes, it’s looking like this is FINALLY done. Norrie breaks again and will now serve for a spot in round three.

Cam consolidates the double break with shades of the opening set. Surely he’ll see this out from here… surely….

Norrie ends a bruising rally with a corking crosscourt forehand winner before a tired-looking Sandgren gets it all wrong with a drop shot to cough up a double break.

Norrie dusts himself down after that second-set blow and immediately breaks. The Brit then consolidates and will feel he MUST get this done from here.

Norrie looks very tentative and it is very costly. A timid crosscourt forehand tickles in to the net before a backhand drills wide. A terrible forehand lands way wide to conclude the game and Sandgren claims the break and the set.

Cam misses a forehand attempt up the line at 40-30 down and Tennys guarantees himself the minimum of a tie break.

The first serve continues to go AWOL for Norrie but Sandgren can’t make the most of a wobble at 40-30 as he blasts way long. Are we going the distance or will the Brit get this done in the next few minutes?

Sandgren slams a second serve ace down the T and hits front with a hold to 15.

Pure resilience. Just when it appeared Sandgren was down and out he throws everything at Norrie and breaks right back!

Norrie makes the breakthrough. The Brit nails a winner up the line on his second break point and will be keen to get the job done from here against an opponent whose level has fluctuated dramatically at times today.

Talk about saving your best for the pressure moments. Sandgren finds clutch-mode at 0-40, making deuce with a casual drop shot. He follows it up with a tricky drop volley and then rasps a forehand winner to get out of dodge.

Still on serve. Sandgren eased to a game to 30 while Cam needed to rally hard from 15-340 down to dig out the hold from deuce.

Sandgren is put through the mill as he digs in to hold after swatting away a break point. Norrie responds with a much more convincing hold of his own.

It’s hard work, but Norrie finds the answers under intense pressure. The Brit threatens to unravel at 15-40 but hangs in and eventually takes the set in 43 minutes with a sizzling forehand.

That’s a huge momentum shift. Sandgren appears to have settled into this and eases to a confident hold. Norrie will attempt to serve for the set for a second time next.

Hello… Hope for Sandgren? Norrie’s forehand misfires and an untimely double fault doesn’t help as he fails to serve out the set at the first time of asking.

Norrie easily holds and seems set for a quick-fire breadstick but Sandgren battles back from 0-40 to pose the serve-out question.

The American finally gets on the board. He walks gingerly to his chair. He seems to have tape on his lower back on an area he has apparently been struggling with all season.

Cam backs up the double break and has won 16 of the first 22 points. Utterly dominant.

A superb start just got even better. Norrie tears apart the Sandgren serve once more and clocks up the double break.

What a start from Cam! He breaks right from the off and the works hard to consolidate. Sandgren is already finding the Brit to be a tricky customer.

The British No.1 sets up a round three clash with Schwartzman after coming from behind to edge out Nishikori in two hours and 48 minutes. Evo saved two break back points before eventually serving it out.

Kei fights hard to force Evo to serve it out. Can the Brit hold his nerve or will the Japanese claim a lifeline?

Evo consolidates with a dominant hold and is one game from clinching a fine comeback win.

Advantage Evo! A sizzling return earns him his first BP of the set and he gets his reward when Kei lashes a forehand into the net.

Resilient work from Evans. He maintains his concentration following Kei’s MTO and digs out the hold to reach parity once more.

That was another pulsating game. Evans has chances once more but slams a make-able forehand into net at 30-30 and then blows one long at deuce. Nishikori eventually outlasts the Brit and keeps nudging his nose in front.

Evo reels off four points in a row after dropping the opening point of the game and comes out on top in a couple of exceptional rallies. Still a tough call as to who winds this from here.

Nishikori hunts for an early breakthrough but Evo digs deep to fend off two break points and get on the board. The Japanese then offers more evidence of a potential shift in momentum with a confident hold. Are we seeing the reverse of Set 2 or will Evo find his rhythm in time?

That’s a strong message from Kei. He concludes a rampant love hold with a fizzing crosscourt backhand to get Set 3 off to a flyer.

Too good. Evans carves out another slick service game to ease through and claim Set 2. Can he maintain his charge in the decider or will Kei get a second wind and raise his game?

Kei produces his best service game in quite some time to hold to love and pose the serve-out question.

Dan the Man consolidates to 15 and is one game away from forcing a decider.

Finally! Evo gets his reward. Kei is staring down the barrel at 0-40 but comes surging back to save all three. It’s the very definition of clutch as he fends off a fourth from deuce, but this time Evo isn’t to be denied. A double fault offers up a fifth opportunity and some wonderful quick hands from the Brit sees him sweep a backhand pass down the line. Lift off?

That’s rapid. There’s no doubt who is doing all of the pushing and probing at this juncture. Evans charges to a love hold to nudge the board once more.

It’s another nearly moment for Dan. A wild miscue from Kei offers him another break point but the Japanese again comes out on top in a lengthy backhand exchange to make deuce. It’s another battle and a half from there but once more Evo fails to come out on top.

That’s another strong hold from Evo. It’s been a mixed bag. He’s been broken twice but most of the time he’s been able to handle Kei’s fine return game. However, he needs to do more on his own returns if he’s to turn this match around.

That could be a significant hold. Evans frustrates the Japanese into going too big on a backhand attempt up the line that slaps the net. It conjures up a break point that Kei swats away with a clinical low backhand winner. A real tussle ensues from deuce but Dan can’t carve out another opening and the former world number four gets out of dodge to level.

That’s an excellent way to reset from Evo. He kicks off with a dominant hold to 15, steering away an angled volley to conclude it in style.

No danger this time. Kei lashes away an overhead and then drills a sweet backhand up the line on his way to serving out the first set to love in 53 minutes.

Almost a third break of the Evo serve – but he hangs in there. The Brit survives multiple set points but finally holds to pose the serve-out question.

Once again the server comes under strain but this time Nishikori plays a more patient game at 30-30 and finds great length to clinch the game and back up his break.

It’s a break-a-thon! Nishikori regains the initiative, thundering a splendid crosscourt winner in another impressive return game.

That’s a brilliant response. Evo outlasts the Japanese in a crosscourt backhand exchange before lashing a winner off the same wing to snare an instant break back point. Nishikori looks to rescue it with another drop shot but this time he gets it all wrong and the Brit levels up.

Dan has to play catch up throughout but produces clutch tennis at 0-15 and 15-30 before lashing a backhand wide to cough up the first break point of the match. Nishikori shows a lovely touch to lure Evo into the net with a drop shot to follow up a venomous return that the Brit can’t quite pick up.

What hands! Nishikori barely has any time to adjust or time his forehand but twists perfectly to steer a short swinging, crosscourt forehand for a winner to seal a hold to 15.

Evo is looking sharp on serve. He marauds through a love hold and is looking confident on court.

Kei is still settling and has already missed a couple of backhands you’d expect him to make in his sleep. Evans can’t take advantage though and the Japanese digs out a hold to 30 to get on the board.

That’s a strong start from Evo as he overcomes an immediate double fault with a couple of crisp forehands and a big serve to snare the scoreboard advantage.

Nishikori leads the match-up 3-1 and has triumphed in their last three encounters, including a 6-3 6-4 victory at Indian Wells back in 2017.

Hello and welcome to live coverage of the action from Indian Wells. First up, we will focus on British number one Dan Evans against Japanese star, Kei Nishikori.

Andy Murray capped a whirlwind few days with an impressive straight sets win over Adrian Mannarino to reach round two at Indian Wells.

The former world number one proved too strong for the Frenchman as he notched up a 6-3 6-2 victory in one hour and 24 minutes.

It was more good news for the Scot after his wedding ring was recovered following his ill-advised decision to leave it tied to his sweaty trainers airing under his car overnight.

Speaking during an on-court interview, Murray was delighted with his performance in his first match at Indian Wells since 2017.

He said: “It’s really nice, it’s one of the nicest places to play on tour. Unfortunately I’ve not felt that I’ve managed to play my best tennis here, I’ve always found the conditions quite tricky and it was the same again tonight. It's very breezy on court so it's not easy to play and I was against a tricky opponent as well.

"I competed well. I don’t think I tried to overplay. I played to how the conditions allowed. I tried to use a bit of variety, used my slice quite a lot and different heights. I didn’t give him too many opportunities on my serve and my concentration until maybe the last game was really good. That’s something that’s been a bit of a problem the last couple of tournaments."
