Murray and Edmund lead Davis Cup bid

Great Britain hope Kyle Edmund can spring a surprise on day one of the final in Belgium and put the visitors within sight of a first Davis Cup victory since 1936.

Edmund will make his competition debut against Belgian number one David Goffin in the opening match (12:30 GMT).

British number one Andy Murray will then take on world number 108, Ruben Bemelmans.

The best-of-five tie takes place over three days in Ghent's Flanders Expo.

A capacity crowd of 13,000 is expected each day, with more than 1,000 Britons due at each session despite recent security fears in Belgium capital Brussels, 35 miles away.
