Good afternoon and welcome to LIVE game-by-game coverage of the French Open semi final between world number one Novak Djokovic and Britain's Andy Murray. The Scot has not beaten the Serb since his Wimbledon triumph back in 2013.

Djokovic will be the big favourite on Sunday: He leads Wawrinka 17-3 in the head-to-head. Join us then for what promises to be another enthralling encounter.

GAME, SET AND MATCH! - MURRAY 3-6 3-6 7-5 7-5 1-6 DJOKOVIC. Novak remains unfazed this time. The comfort of a double break allows him to serve freely and he seals victory in four hours and nine minutes to continue his dominance over Murray and move into the final. He'll now meet Stan Wawrinka on Sunday afternoon.

BREAK! - MURRAY 3-6 3-6 7-5 7-5 1-5 DJOKOVIC. From 30-0 up to a double break. This match is over for Murray. A stunning comeback sees Djoker turn up the heat and lash a delicious crosscourt winner following a 24-shot rally. The Serb will now serve for the match.

MURRAY 3-6 3-6 7-5 7-5 1-4 DJOKOVIC. A rampant hold to love ends with a dismissive overhead smash at the net. Murray is racing from one end of the court to the other, scrambling to keep each point alive - but at this point it looks in vain. The Serbinator is two games away from the final.

MURRAY 3-6 3-6 7-5 7-5 1-3 DJOKOVIC. The Scot gets on the board with a hold to 15. He needs to hit back sooner rather than later if he's to pull off mission impossible.

MURRAY 3-6 3-6 7-5 7-5 0-3 DJOKOVIC. Nole consolidates that break with a stonking backhand down the line that Muzza can't return to take the game to 30. The Serbian has an innate ability to raise his level at just the right times. He's a real champion and it's hard to see a way back for Murray now that the world number one has that finish line in sight. It's been a match of twists and turns, but I think we're in the last act now.

BREAK! - MURRAY 3-6 3-6 7-5 7-5 0-2 DJOKOVIC. A disaster for Murray. After such a splendid, assured start he produces a dismal service game to endure a break to 15. He has worked so hard to get back into this and now faces another mountain to climb.

MURRAY 3-6 3-6 7-5 7-5 0-1 DJOKOVIC. Murray winces as he glides a crosscourt backhand into the net. It was an opportunity at deuce after Djokovic had choked from 40-15. A rare double fault illustrates just how shaky the world number one is right now, but he recovers to claim a vital hold at the start of the fifth. His nose is in front and serving first could prove crucial.

SET! - MURRAY 3-6 3-6 7-5 7-5 DJOKOVIC. We are going to a fifth set! The number three seed is playing some accomplished stuff now. It sees him snare two set points at 40-15. One goes begging with an awkward forehand into the net, but Djokovic again drives long to tie it up. The Serb is making some errors out there and Muzza has punished him.

BREAK! - MURRAY 3-6 3-6 7-5 6-5 DJOKOVIC. Extraordinary tennis at both ends of the court. It's exhilarating to watch - but it's Murray who comes out on top! The Scot is stretching the Serb, who is not at the same halcyon level of the first two sets, and it sees him tee up double break point at 15-40. Djoker rescues one but then overcooks a shot to the baseline. Murray will try to serve this out and take us into a decider...

MURRAY 3-6 3-6 7-5 5-5 DJOKOVIC. At 40-0 Djokovic's rasping forehand and follow-up put-away finally sees a point against serve since the restart. Muzza responds with a 12th ace of the match to pull level.

MURRAY 3-6 3-6 7-5 4-5 DJOKOVIC. It's another hold to love. Neither player blinking. Big pressure on Murray now as he needs to stay on serve to remain in this match. Expect Djoker to attack on every shot.

MURRAY 3-6 3-6 7-5 4-4 DJOKOVIC. The Scot knows he can't afford a sluggish start and he comes through after a nervy first point. Djoker dictates with a dropshot and lob, but it lands just out. It's a let off and the British number one takes full advantage with his own love hold.

Twitter reacting to that service game by suggesting this could be short and sweet!

MURRAY 3-6 3-6 7-5 3-4 DJOKOVIC. Brilliant serving from Nole. He was visibly shaken by Murray's recovery last night but looks re-focused as he crushes the Scot to love in a real statement of intent.
