Edmund, 23, will face American Bradley Klahn, while Konta will play Dominika Cibulkova.

The pair will be hoping for uninterrupted play, after rain delays on Wednesday evening saw a number of matches suspended and then resumed.

The Met Office forecasts a warm and sunny start to the day with temperatures reaching 27C (80.6F), but it also forecasts thunderstorms for the early evening.
