  2. Kang levels for USA in top matchpublished at 13:32 British Summer Time 5 September 2021

    Sagstrom & Hall A/S Kang & Ernst (6)

    Danielle Kang does the Kevin Na and walks in her hole-winning putt as the Americans complete the comeback from two down to all square in the top match and crucially break the all-blue stranglehold the Europeans had built up.

    Let's see if that can spark a bit of a momentum switch for the hosts.

  3. Europe in control of match threepublished at 13:29 British Summer Time 5 September 2021

    3UP M Reid & L Maguire v N Korda & A Ewing (4)

    It's still Nelly Korda to play on the fourth green and she is aggressive with her bogey putt, racing it three feet by.

    That leaves the Europeans three putts to win the hole from 25 feet. Korda doesn't want to see any of them and concedes the hole.

  4. Korda makes huge mistakepublished at 13:27 British Summer Time 5 September 2021

    2UP M Reid & L Maguire v N Korda & A Ewing (4)

    It's fair to say world number one Nelly Korda is not having a good morning. She's in a fairway bunker on the par-four fourth. "Oh no!" she exclaims as she plays the sort of shot an 18-handicapper would be ashamed of, thinning her ball straight into a stream some 40 yards in front of her.

    Huge advantage to the Europeans who are on the green in two. Ally Ewing finds the green with the fourth shot for the US but she's 40 feet from the hole.

    1UP Hull & Pedersen v Thompson & Altomare (5)

    Lexi Thompson is battling away like a golfer with a score to settle, and that classic matchplay situation sees he drain her putt from further away than Charley Hull which then turns all the pressure on to the English golfer.

    But Hull is a Solheim Cup veteran now despite still being a youngster in most circles, and she doesn't flinch to preserve their lead.

    1UP A Nordqvist & M Castren v L Salas & J Kupcho (2)

    Anna Nordqvist, putting from the shadows into the light on the par-five second.

    It's an eight footer to win the hole. Lips out. But the scoreboard is all blue at the moment.

  8. Nothing given in top matchpublished at 13:17 British Summer Time 5 September 2021

    1UP Sagstrom & Hall v Kang & Ernst (5)

    Georgia Hall narrowly misses the chance to restore their two-up lead and gives Sagstrom just a little tester on the way back.

    Europe respond by making Ernst stick in their tiddler for the half with gimmes seemingly ruled out in this match!

  9. Reid & Maguire extend leadpublished at 13:16 British Summer Time 5 September 2021

    2UP M Reid & L Maguire v N Korda & A Ewing (3)

    Leona Maguire is some player. Laser straight with her tee shot on the par-three third and that leaves Mel Reid with a dozen feet to win the hole with a birdie.

    The Englishwoman pushes it slightly right. Gimme par.

    Here's Nelly Korda with a five-footer for the half. NO! Europe in control.

    Hull & Pedersen A/S Thompson & Altomare (3)

    Bubba Watson's been the big USA cheerleader this week, and there's a bit of his game in Lexi Thompson with the way she attacks her wedges with a steep, vicious contact on the back of the ball, and a huge divot on the follow-through generating all kinds of spin.

    That spin's too much on the fourth though as the ball digs its toes in and falls back off the front of the green and down a big old hill guarding the entrance.

    With Charley Hull tucked in pretty close it's advantage Europe now.

  12. Postpublished at 13:08 British Summer Time 5 September 2021

    1UP M Reid & L Maguire v N Korda & A Ewing (2)

    On the second and Leona Maguire plays a super shot out of the rough, chasing the ball up on the par-five green to give Mel Reid an eagle look.

    It's a tricky 30-footer and Reid cannot convert but that's a birdie.

    What can the Americans do? Nelly Korda has a six-footer for the half. The ball threatens to wander off to the right but straightens and drops.

  13. USA reduce the leadpublished at 13:07 British Summer Time 5 September 2021

    1UP Sagstrom & Hall v Kang & Ernst (4)

    Danielle Kang’s putt across the fourth green seems to go in slow motion trickling all the way to the hole, but just missing by a whisker.

    It doesn’t matter though because Europe have been out of position here and Sagstrom is left with a tricky putt just for a half, which she can’t convert so the lead is down to one.

  14. Nordqvist & Castren lead againpublished at 13:06 British Summer Time 5 September 2021

    1UP A Nordqvist & M Castren v L Salas & J Kupcho

    Matilda Castren finds the heart of the first green with Europe's second to the par-four first.

    Lizette Salas, from the rough, punches her ball forward but it doesn't skip on to the green, puling up on the false front and dribbling backwards.

    Jen Kupcho's chip up leaves Salas with work to do for par.

    First up is Anna Nordqvist to win the hole from 25 feet. She's a fraction out with the radar.

    Can Salas rescue a half? No. Pushes the putt right.

  15. Europe up in match threepublished at 12:57 British Summer Time 5 September 2021

    1UP M Reid & L Maguire v N Korda & A Ewing (1)

    After Nelly Korda's error off the tee, Ally Ewing has to chop out of the bunker into the fairway. Korda's third doesn't threaten the flag and two putts from there leaves Europe with a chance to take the first hole.

    Mel Reid nails the par putt, from about five feet.

  16. Lexi lights it uppublished at 12:55 British Summer Time 5 September 2021

    Hull & Pedersen v Thompson & Altomare 1UP (2)

    Scratch that about Lexi Thompson, she's now a putting wizard! It's about eight feet with plenty of break in it but she finds the dead centre of the cup to take the lead.

    The revenge mission is on!

  17. Final foursomes match under waypublished at 12:54 British Summer Time 5 September 2021

    A Nordqvist & M Castren v L Salas & J Kupcho

    This promises to be a titanic battle. Women's Open champion Anna Nordqvist and Matilda Castren won both their matches on day one while the American pairing of Lizette Salas and Jen Kupcho came through a tough fourball match on the final green.

    Nordqvist tees it up. Out with the big dog. A pleasing thwack and she immediately bends down to pick up the tee. Only one place that ball is heading.

    Kupcho is up for the US and she demands the crowd continues to cheer as she sends her ball bounding past Nordqvist's - although that's not necessarily a good thing as it trundles into the rough.

  18. Postpublished at 12:54 British Summer Time 5 September 2021

    2UP Sagstrom & Hall v Kang & Ernst (3)

    They've got the second surrounded but from long range neither team can sink their putts as Europe remain two ahead.
