Battle of the Brits: Dan Evans beats Andy Murray as England win title

Dan Evans beat Andy Murray as England clinched the Battle of the Brits title over Scotland in Aberdeen.

British number two Evans won 6-4 3-6 10-8 against the three-time Grand Slam champion, after England team-mates Neal Skupski and Paul Jubb had earlier defeated Jamie Murray and Jonny O'Mara 6-4 5-7 10-6 in the preceding doubles.

Evans' victory put England 5-1 ahead and just one win away from the exhibition title, before Paul Jubb stepped up to beat Scotland's Aidan McHugh 6-2 6-2.

Although a dead rubber, the Murray brothers will team up to play Evans and Skupski in the final match of the tournament, and what could be the last opportunity for Scottish fans to see them play together.
