 Haha. 2 doubles and a singles today for Dan? 

No.  Paul was drafted in to play alongside Neal:

R3:  Paul Jubb & Neal Skupski (ENG) UNR (0 [but a CH of 1430 in July 2018]+1) defeated Jamie Murray & Jonny O'Mara (SCO) CR 131 (36+95) by 6-4 5-7 [10-6]  

 biggrin

Great scalp for Paul (with Neal's able assistance wink)!

Andy not able to level the match for Scotland this time:

England leads by 3-1.

 In fact its 5-1 - todays first two matches are worth 2 points each. This evenings are 3 each so Scotland could still take it 7-5. If they win the evenings opener it will be back to 5-4 and the final match will be winner takes all.

Got that wrong:  Dan will play in the second doubles match alongside Neal.

 It was Paul who played with Neal earlier when Dan played singles, they are obviously mixing and matching with Joe out and Jack absent

Actually it is 8-1, as the evening matches are worth three points

I think it's the Ian Holloway that was Manager of Blackpool when they were in the Premier League and then Crystal Palace, taking us into the Premier League. Random fact, he has 3 deaf daughters.

I didn't watch, but I'm actually really glad that Andy and Jamie won, for lots of reasons.
