Andy and Jamie Murray moved Great Britain to the verge of a first Davis Cup final since 1978 after defeating Australia's Lleyton Hewitt and Sam Groth in an epic doubles clash in their semi-final on Saturday.

World number three Andy and older brother Jamie recovered from a set down to secure a thrilling 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 6-7 (6/8), 6-4 victory in a gruelling four-hour rubber.

Victory means Andy Murray can now win the tie for Great Britain in Sunday's first reverse singles as they attempt to win the competition for the first time since 1936.

The winners will face either Belgium or Argentina in the final.
