Follow the latest updates live from day three at Wimbledon where men’s world No 1 Novak Djokovic is back in second round action, as well as British No 1 Kyle Edmund and the American teenage sensation Cori Gauff.

The second round proved the end of the road for Heather Watson as she was knocked out by Anett Kontaveit early in the day, with former men's Grand Slam champion Stan Wawrinka also a shock exit on Wednesday afternoon. Karolina Pliskova successfully negotiated Monica Puig on Centre Court, with Kyle Edmund the biggest casualty losing to Fernando Verdasco before Novak Djokovic takes on Denis Kudla.

However, all eyes will be on No 2 Court where 15-year-old Gauff returns to action fresh from her incredible victory over Venus Williams. Follow all the action and results live.

Grass courts are a great leveller:

1562162934

Edmund 5-4 Verdasco* (40-40)

From 15-40 to deuce, as Verdasco leaves the door ajar... Edmund anticipates Verdasco's forehand put-away, and hits a backhand winner into the open court. 

This would be a turn-up, deuce.

Kieran Jackson3 July 2019 15:08

1562163036

Edmund 5-4 Verdasco* (40-40)

A strong Edmund return gives him SET POINT, and it looks like Edmund has wrapped it up with an inside-out forehand, but Verdasco strikes back a bullet forehand down the line which Edmund can't get back into play. 

SET POINT SAVED! Edmund thought he nicked it there...

Kieran Jackson3 July 2019 15:10

1562163084

Edmund 5-4 Verdasco* (Ad Edmund)

After saving a game point with a superb forehand cross-court pass, Verdasco hits out of court and it's SET POINT NO.2!

1562163200

Edmund 6-4 Verdasco* 

KYLE EDMUND WINS THE FIRST SET!

Verdasco goes long, and out of nowhere, Edmund has stolen the first set! 

Kieran Jackson3 July 2019 15:13

1562163666

Edmund 6-4 0-1 Verdasco*

VERDASCO BREAKS!

Trouble early on for Edmund, as he hits a forehand wide to bring up TWO BREAK POINTS, and the Spaniard takes it straight away, with Edmund's forehand clipping the net and landing astray.

Kieran Jackson3 July 2019 15:21

*Edmund 6-4 1-1 Verdasco

EDMUND BREAKS BACK!

Verdasco's forehand goes astray at 30-30, and then he DOUBLE FAULTS!

Deary me, a sucker punch that for Verdasco.
