Battle of the Brits: Andy Murray beaten by Dan Evans to set up Kyle Edmund final

British number one Dan Evans overcame a strong start by Andy Murray to beat the three-time Grand Slam champion and reach the Battle of Brits final.

Evans was outplayed by Murray in the opening set but won 1-6 6-3 10-8 to set up a final with Kyle Edmund.

Number two Edmund fought back to beat Cameron Norrie 6-7 (3-7) 6-4 10-8.

This is an exhibition event but the quality has been high and has given players competition practice and Murray a good measure of his fitness.

The Scot, 33, was playing his first tournament in seven months after a pelvic injury.
