• Andy Murray rested but set to return for Friday’s last-eight tie
Kyle Edmund, once anointed as Andy Murray’s successor and now his late-career understudy, rediscovered his best tennis to tame the combative Mikhail Kukushkin in straight sets and set Great Britain on their way into the Davis Cup quarter-finals, against Germany on Friday.
After Edmund won 6-3, 6-3 in an hour and a quarter on Thursday, Dan Evans could not finish the job after taking the opening set and Alexander Bublik levelled the tie for Kazakhstan behind a big serve, winning 5-7, 6-4, 6-1.
