Britain's Jonathan Marray and Denmark's Frederik Nielsen have been crowned men's doubles champions at Wimbledon after a thrilling five-set victory over Robert Lindsted and Horia Tecau.

Marray, who was an unseeded wildcard with his partner, has become the first Brit to win the title since 1936.

After both teams won a set each, Marray and Nielsen clinched a third-set tie-break before they were forced off because of rain.

With the roof over Centre Court, the pair threw away a 5-2 lead in a fourth-set tie-break as Lindstedt and Tecau took it 7-5.

A decisive break early in the fifth gave Marray and Nielsen the initiative as they continued to hold serve and seal the win.

Pat Hughes and Raymond Tuchey were the last Brits to lift the trophies back in 1936.
