    Curling women's semi-final: Great Britain 1-2 Sweden

    Have they got one or have they got two? This would be a result for Great Britain if they hold them to just the one.

    Oh, Anna Hasselborg has tried to blank the end - and she's missed it!

    She's overworked it! Out comes the measuring stone check that that pesky stone is indeed out...

    Now then.

    There's a red Swedish stone on the very edge of the house. It looks out, to me.

    If it is out, Sweden will blank the end.

    If it's in, they'll knock the one GB stone out of the way, and snaffle two.

    Eve Muirhead closes one eye and squints as she glares at the stone...

    Anna Hasselborg spends a bit of time lining up her first shot, and tonks the British stone on the nose!

    One Swedish stone in the house...

    Great Britain haven't quite hit their shots so far. It's amazing how much one or two shots can change everything.

    Sweden have had the upper hand a little bit so far.

    Not a great first stone from Anna Sloan, but that's much better - double takeout!

    Her yellow stone drifts just wide of the GB guard, and Sweden promptly get rid of it.

    Curling women's semi-final: Great Britain 1-2 Sweden

    My favourite thing about Eve Muirhead is the look of utter disgust she gives the stones when she doesn't quite nail a shot.

    Plenty of cheers around the arena, which must mean something's going well for South Korea, who are playing Japan on the next sheet.

    Current status: shouting at Eve Muirhead from an ice hockey commentary position across town.

  10. Who does what?published at 11:51 Greenwich Mean Time 23 February 2018

    Curling women's semi-final: Great Britain 1-2 Sweden

    Lead: Throws the first two rocks of the end and then sweeps the next six. They must be very good at throwing guards (stones that stop in front of the house) and be a strong sweeper.

    Second: Throws the third and fourth stones of the end and should be strong at making take-outs (hitting an opponent's stone off the sheet). They sweep the first two stones and then the final four of the end and usually have a good sweeping relationship with the skip.

    Third (or vice-skip): Throws the fifth and sixth rocks of the end, must be good at all shots, but especially draws (stones that stop in the house). It is the third's job to set up the shots that will be thrown by the skip.

    Skip: Captain of the team and decides strategy. It's their job to tell the other players where to throw their shots and when to sweep. The skip also delivers the last two shots of the end so they must be good at all types of shots.

  11. Into the fourth endpublished at 11:49 Greenwich Mean Time 23 February 2018

    Curling women's semi-final: Great Britain 1-2 Sweden

    Not a bad first two stones from Lauren Gray - a guard goes in high up, and she tucks a yellow in just about behind it.

    There's enough of a gap there, though, for Sweden to sneak a stone through and knock GB's stone out of the house.

    There are people standing at the back all the way around the far side. There are an awful lot of British fans in and some Swedes too. Let's hope they have something to cheer about.

  13. A game of endspublished at 11:48 Greenwich Mean Time 23 February 2018

    Curling women's semi-final: Great Britain 1-2 Sweden

    Quick curling rundown:

    • A game usually consists of 10 ends - and they have a break after five so you can get a brew in
    • If it's still level after that, it can go to a tie-break
    • Having the hammer - the final stone of the end - is seen as a big advantage
    • If you blank an end - i.e. you don't score - you keep the hammer for the next end

    All you're trying to do is get your stones closest to the centre of the house. Which is the massive bullseye on the ice.

  14. GB on the boardpublished at 11:46 Greenwich Mean Time 23 February 2018

    Curling women's semi-final: Great Britain 1-2 Sweden

    There is the one for Eve Muirhead!

    Great Britain are on the board after three ends. Sweden look rather pleased about that.

  15. Final stone of third endpublished at 11:45 Greenwich Mean Time 23 February 2018

    Curling women's semi-final: Great Britain 0-2 Sweden

    Sweden's Anna Hasselborg takes out the remaining yellow stone with her final shot.

    Great Britain could blank this, and keep the hammer, but Muirhead wants a score. SHe'll have to settle for one, though...

    Here's Eve Muirhead, eyes like lasers, but that's too heavy a shot.

    It drifts rather solemnly straight through the house and out.

  17. Curling showboating from Japanpublished at 11:41 Greenwich Mean Time 23 February 2018

    Curling: women's semi-finals

    Caroline Chapman
    BBC Sport in Pyeongchang

    After South Korea took a 3-0 lead after the first end, Japan have just pulled off some curling showboating and clawed it back to 3-2.

    There are some Japanese uber fans sat just to the right of the house who lept up out of their seats to celebrate.

    Curling fever is rife.

  18. 'I made you work!'published at 11:41 Greenwich Mean Time 23 February 2018

    "Sorry, I made you work!" says Vicki Adams after Anna Sloan and Lauren Gray are tasked with sweeping that last stone.

  19. Postpublished at 11:41 Greenwich Mean Time 23 February 2018

    Curling women's semi-final: Great Britain 0-2 Sweden

    There's two yellow GB stones in the house to Sweden's one.

    Well, there was. A wider stone gets crashed away by Sweden's Sara McManus but she was after the double take out - and it drifts just wide.

    Ah, Vicki Adams played that well. Very good shot.
