Good afternoon. Andy Murray will be heading out to court one at Wimbledon in the next few minutes to face Lu Yen-Hsun in the second round of Wimbledon.

The duo have played twice before, each taking one win. Murray beat Lu at Indian Wells earlier this year, while the Taiwanese player beat the Brit at the Olympics in 2008.

The world number 73 has only progressed past the third round of a Grand Slam once in his career, but it was at Wimbledon. He made the last eight in 2010, where he was eventually beaten by Novak Djokovic.

The players have just come onto the court. Unsurprisingly, the crowd give a big cheer to the British number one. On paper, this should be a fairly straightforward encounter for the US Open champion, but Lu has nothing to lose, and showed impressive tenacity in his lengthy match with James Ward on Monday.

Murray's section of the draw has already lost one of its highest-ranked players today, following Marin Cilic's decision to withdraw from the tournament with a shoulder injury. The Croatian was seeded to face Murray in the fourth round.

If you want to keep up with some of the other matches taking place at Wimbledon this afternoon, you can currently follow live updates from Jo-Wilfried Tsonga's match against Ernests Gulbis, and Maria Sharapova's clash with Michelle Larcher de Brito with Sports Mole.

Some members of the crowd have really made an effort this afternoon. There are two men sat just behind Murray's chair dressed as Superman!

Right then, play is just about to get underway, with the Brit serving first.

It's a slick start from Murray. Lu is unable to return the opening serve, before the second seed slices a backhand past his opponent. He wraps the game up with an ace followed by a forehand winner.

Lu takes the opening point of the game after getting the better of Murray in a long rally, and secures a 30-0 lead with a brilliant overhead smash. Lu continues to play some solid shots from the baseline, and seals the game when Murray hits his backhand to the net. It's a good start for the player from Chinese Taipei.

Murray deceives Lu with a high lob to take a 40-0 lead, before a series of forehands from the baseline force an error from Lu. The 29-year-old has made an energetic start to the match, but he doesn't seem to be able to match Murray's strong ground strokes, and has looked uncomfortable returning his serve.

Lu forces Murray to cover a lot of ground as he controls the rally from the back of court before wrong-footing the Briton with a volley. After a couple of good forehands, he finishes the game with his first ace of the match.

Murray loses his first point on serve when Lu's shot strikes the net chord. The Scot keeps his cool to take the next point, but Lu makes a superb smash from behind the baseline, and follows it up with a stunning cross-court forehand to bring up break point. However, he puts too much power on his return on the next shot, and smashes it into the upright on the net. At deuce, Lu manages to find the baseline with a forehand, wrong-footing Murray to give himself another chance to break, but a big serve from the world number two saves it. An ace gives Murray advantage, and he makes to get the hold with another big serve, which Lu returns long. That was a tricky game for Murray, and he'll be relieved to have come through it.

Lu has looked dangerous when he gets into a rally with Murray, and has been moving around the court with impressive speed early in this contest.

BREAK! Lu struggles with his ball toss early in the game, causing him to miss a couple of first serves, before he fires a forehand into the net. The Taiwan player does have an unusually high ball toss. A wide forehand gives Murray two chances to take the break, but he needs just one, as Lu finds the net again.

Dropping his serve seems to have knocked Lu's confidence, as he makes two poor returns, before an ace takes Murray to 40-0. A mistake from the Brit keeps his opponent in the game a little longer, but another long return ensures a comfortable hold for Murray, who has now won three games in a row.

After a wide shot at the start of the game, Murray finds some brilliant serves to make returning impossible for his opponent, wrapping up the opening set in 33 minutes.

Lu manages his best service game since early in the first set, managing to get a bit of extra pace on the ball to make returning difficult for Murray.

Some breaking news from centre court, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga has retired from his second-round match with a knee injury. The Frenchman had been seeded to meet Murray in the quarter-finals.

Murray makes a strong start to the game, quickly taking a 40-0 lead, but a double fault causes him to lose his rhythm, and Lu think he's taken the game to deuce.

Murray dictates the play from the baseline. Lu's early pace around the court seems to have disappeared, probably not helped by his lengthy encounter with Ward on Monday. Lu comes into the net to volley, but Murray gets the ball back down the sideline to wrap up the game, and needs just one more to take a two-set lead.

SET! Murray 6-3 6-3 Lu

What a miserable end to the second set for Lu! Murray made some brilliant shots from the back of court early in the game to bring up a couple of break points, but Lu was able to save them both. However, a double fault from the 29-year-old handed the Scot a two-set lead.

Well it's not the easiest hold for Murray, but Lu never really looked like braking. The pair shared the opening four points of the game, with Lu making some strong returns, but a sloppy forehand found the net to give Murray the game.

Lu looks extremely focused at the start of the game, finding some brilliant serves to help him to a 40-0 lead. However, he then misses two first serves in a row to let Murray back into the game.

Lu attacks the Murray serve early in the game, forcing the Brit to smash his forehand into the net. However, the second seed makes two aces in a row to clinch the game.

He keeps the game alive with a superb lob to the baseline, before making a solid volley, but another long effort from the Briton ensures that the third set remains on serve for now.

Murray comes into the court in from the baseline to take the first two points, before Lu returns the ball to the net. The Taiwan player manages to pick out the sideline with a brilliant forehand, but Murray wraps up the game with a big serve, which Lu can't return.

Lu's serve has been up and down throughout the match, but this game was definitely not one of better ones. The 29-year-old struggles to get his first serves in, relying on a fairly safe but slow second serve. The errors make it easy for Murray to attack, and he brings up a break point, but Lu gets a lucky hit on the net chord to bring up deuce. Both players claimed advantage several times, but it was Lu who managed to convert, catching Murray out with a brilliant drop shot.

Buoyed from holding serve after a difficult game, Lu goes on the attack, but Murray manages to land a tricky forehand effort on the baseline, frustrating his opponent. A couple of big serves help him hold serve again.

Lu makes a good start, claiming the first two points of the game with some brilliant smashes. However, the troublesome ball toss plagues him again, forcing another double fault. Lu regains his composure and seals the game with a strong forehand down the sideline.

Murray has two match points.

GAME, SET & MATCH! Murray 6-3 6-3 7-5 Lu

Lu manages to save the first break point with a brilliant smash from close into the net, but Murray engages him in a rally and forces the 29-year-old to fire his forehand just long, allowing Murray to progress to the third round in straight sets.

The autograph hunters are keeping Murray on court, one even seems to be asking him to sign a bottle of wine! The second seed will face Spain's Tommy Robredo in the next round, following his win over Nicolas Mahut earlier this afternoon.

Following his victory, Murray said: "I thought I kept my concentration well on serve, I served very well throughout the match. Each game i was putting a lot of pressure on his service games, he came out with some great shots."

On his next opponent, Murray said: "He's started playing some really good tennis. He's very, very fit, he works incredibly hard, serves solid, good forehand. It's going to be a really tough match."

Well that's all from this match, but you can follow live coverage of Roger Federer's match against Sergiy Stakhovsky. Thanks for joining me this afternoon, good bye.
