No revised schedule for BBC1/2 yet but play is due to start at 11:30 on all courts.
I suspect BBC2 will be on air from 11:15-18:00 pushing the Triathlon highlights back, and BBC1 from 13:45-17:30 pushing Songs of Praise back. Today at Wimbledon at 21:00.

Not sure why they have moved from BBC2 to BBC1 to show repeats of lifestyle programmes this morning, they could have just stayed on BBC2.

Because this is the BBC where Bargain Hunt and Homes Under the Hammer take priority over anything.

As it turns out, rain stops play so not such a problem.

Clare Balding anchoring at the moment as Sue Barker is taking part in the Parade of Champions on Centre Court.

...as scheduled and finished at 14:30. There's not much point in BBC One cutting away from the centre court match (which is nearly over) to then re-join centre court for Andy Murray.

Didn't realise they were scheduled rather than filler - that makes it even more stupid, especially considering the early start on Court 1 and outside courts due to delays earlier in the week.

Yes this was why I said above switching to BBC1 at 12:10 seems daft initially.

More good timing from the BBC - Murray done at 18:06, due off air at 18:20.

Guess the BBC influenced the schedule today - suspect without the football he'd have been last on Centre Court today.
