Murray had beaten Nadal on three of their seven previous encounters but fell just short of matching the Majorcan at critical moments, notably in the second set, which went to a tie break.

Officials say 80 local authority areas met the interim thresholds (of 21 months from entering care to adoption and matching a child to a family within seven months of a court order being made), but 72 did not meet one or both of these.
