Andy and Jamie Murray eased past Yoshihito Nishioka and Yasutaka Uchiyama to give Great Britain the lead in their Davis Cup clash with Japan.
After 7 games on serve, Britain got the break to seal the first set after an impressive game.
The second set saw Britain pick up breaks at the start and end of the set to take it 6-2.
And after a relatively tight third set, at 40-15 down with the score at 4-4, Britain went on to win the next eight points to clinch the win.
It leaves the Japanese requiring two wins out of two on Sunday to recover the tie, and with the form Murray is in, that is very unforeseeable.
Jamie Murray: "We played a great match from start to finish. We were very solid, it wasn't easy because they played some good shots and gave us some tricky moments."
