The stresses of two five-set matches catch up with GB's Andy Murray and he withdraws shortly before the start of play

He is replaced by Jamie Delgado, his doubles partner from Saturday, for the crucial opening rubber against Noam Okun

Delgado, ranked 167 places below his opponent, gets broken in the fourth game as the match starts badly for the hosts

Okun allows Delgado back into the contest but breaks again in the eighth before serving out a 6-3 first-set win

With only 35% of his first serves in, the Briton takes a moment to reflect on a set that could have gone much better

The next set shows little improvement from Delgado - he drops the third game to love after a double fault

The Israeli offers his challenger few opportunities to break back and duly closes out the set 6-4

The match and the tie appear to be rapidly slipping away from Great Britain who now need Delgado to dig deep

The Birmingham-born player responds well and a far tighter set ensues - Delgado eventually takes it on a tie-break

Okun finds the revived Delgado a much tougher prospect and loses his serve twice as he drops the fourth set 6-2

The match goes to a deciding set which Delgado starts strongly, breaking in the third game for a 2-1 lead

Suddenly it all goes wrong for the Briton - Okun breaks back, takes total control and wins 6-3 6-4 6-7 2-6 6-3

The celebrations begin for Israel as with only one rubber remaining their 3-1 lead becomes unassailable
