I have no idea how Angel Yin did not win the first hole against Azahara Munoz.

But she makes reparations on the second knocking in a five-footer to go ahead.

Wonderful from Carlota Ciganda, who slaps a mid iron shot in to around six feet on the par three sixth.

Celiene Boutier has had a shocking start, losing her first two holes.

But she's got a chance to make amends on the third with a six-footer....

No joy. Her ball lips out. Still she's arrested the slide.

Just watching Carlota Ciganda roll in a putt on the fifth.

Nerves of steel. Still all square though.

Just had a quick bite to eat with BBC Sport golf commentator Ken Brown. He joined me just as Celine Boutier hit her third shot out of the hollow to the back of the first green. "Not a good spot to be in," he said.

He reckons Europe need to be 3-3 after the first six singles to be in with a shout of winning. And with that, he was off to start his stint for the highlights show which will be on BBC Two at 7pm tonight.

Nelly Korda was in a bit of discomfort on the driving range a little earlier. Her caddie asked her if she'd taken anything for the pain, she replied yes. He gave her shoulders a bit of a tweak and a hot towel was put on her neck. Might that help explain why she was left out of Saturday afternoon's fourballs? Or her slow start against Caroline Hedwall?

The Americans like the first hole don't they?

Lexi Thompson is struggling with her back and her caddie is teeing up the ball for her.

Apparently she tweaked her back during her warm up and it's in spasm.

Despite grimacing with virtually every shot, she's still got a hole lead over Georgia Hall at present.

Caroline Hedwall is pumped.

The 30-year-old Swede is looking for her eighth win in the Solheim Cup and making a pretty decent fist of that so far.

She sinks another putt on the fourth and she regains a two hole lead over Nelly Korda who cannot make par.

Hedwall I seem to remember won in the singles against Michelle Wie back in 2013.

A warm welcome back to the European birdie...

Azahara Munoz has got herself into a spot of bother in the same place that did for Celine Boutier at the first.

Angel Yin cannot capitalise though.

Conditions at present seem pretty gentle to Saturday evening's fourballs.

I can't imagine a gale force wind and temperature drop to arctic proportions helps anyone and I'm fully expecting (touch wood) to see the players get round in more like four or so hours than six.

Crucial putt coming up for Georgia Hall and we're only on the second. She need to sink this to avoid falling two holes behind to Lexi Thompson.

And she makes it. Phew. Big look of relief etched across her face.

There just no keeping a Korda down it seems.

Nelly is up and running against Caroline Hedwall.

Nicola: The atmosphere at this Solheim Cup is amazing.

Bit of a power mismatch on the first tee now where Azahara Munoz is beginning against US big-hitter Angel Yin.

A touch loose from Celine Boutier on the first, who finds the run-off area the back of the putting surface.

She then follows that up with two disastrous attempts to pitch on before finally running one past the cup. This hole has gone.

All square and all so tense. Carlota Ciganda and Danielle Kang match each other shot for shot up the third.
