Andy Murray is in action against Santiago Giraldo at 4pm this afternoon as he looks to stay on course for a third Miami triumph after lifting the title in 2009 and 2012.

Victory against the Colombian would put the British No 1 on 499 career wins and just one away from a landmark half a century.

The 27-year-old would become the ninth active player to record 500 tour-level victories.

World No 4 Murray made short work of Donald Young in his opening match, dismissing the American 6-4 6-2 to reach the third round.

He has a 17-4 record so far this year after reaching his fourth Australian Open final and making the semi-finals in Indian Wells last week - losing on both occasions to world No 1 Novak Djokovic.

Murray, who is chasing his 10th ATP World Tour Masters 1000 title, faces world No 31 Giraldo who overcame Dutchman Robin Haase in three sets to set up a clash against the Scot.

Murray will be watchful of counter-puncher Giraldo though, who relies on his hyper-aggressive forehand, although he can be highly inconsistent.

The winner will meet South Africa's Kevin Anderson or Leonardo Mayer from Argentina in the fourth round.
