Julia Lopez Ramirez makes birdie on the 10th to double her lead and then crucially sinks a par putt on the 11th to press pause on any hopes Yealimi Noh has of an immediate bounce back.

Angel Yin has the honour on the short 15th over water. She overhits her tee shot though and will have a 40-footer from the back of the green.

Linn Grant senses an opportunity and gets in tight. She'll have a five-footer which will be for the match if Angel doesn't hole her birdie try.

It's all a bit tight isn't it? How do you see it going from here?

How about this from Lindy Duncan? The American has won three on the spin with three birdies to take charge of her match with a reeling Maja Stark.

Duncan is a rookie this year but hardly inexperienced at 35, and she wasn't a massively popular choice for a wildcard pick by Angela Stanford as many called for one of the young guns to be given a chance.

But she's well on the way to delivering a crucial point here.

Esther Henseleit loses her four-hole lead as Alison Lee rolls in to gimme range.

The German now has it all to do with the American smelling blood after winning four of the previous five holes.

The suns is peeking through the clouds as Nelly Korda tees off down the 14th with a drive that bounds into the heather down the left.

She's left with an awkward stance, perched atop a bunker, but fires her second onto the green.

Mimi Rhodes, from the fairway, leaves another approach short. That's been a big part of her day - the radar slightly out with shot two.

Team Europe's Charley Hull after winning the first point of the day: "It's been a frustrating week. Me and Lottie [Woad] have been playing pretty well and we just couldn't hole a putt. We've played against some good opponents. It feels good to get it on the board. There's a lot of blue up there at the minute, so I'll get out there and watch."

On what her motivation was today: "Try and hole more putts than I have the last few days because I've been giving myself so many chances. That's been frustrating. I didn't hole many today but I have been steady. The weather has been pretty bad, so I kept in there."

It's turning into a nice afternoon, weather and golf-wise, in the Netherlands. So nice in fact that Angel Yin has ditched her waterproofs.

The American chips from the front edge of the green to five feet. Linn Grant from the sand - decent but seven feet short. And she misses the par putt.

Yin knocks in her hole-winner to reduce the arrears.

Is Carlota Ciganda toying with Jen Kupcho? After allowing the American to take the sixth hole, Ciganda roars back on the seventh.

The Spaniard rolls in from 15 feet to loud cheers as she goes back to four clear.

The sun's out and Nanna Koerstz Madsen is having fun - of course it helps if you're two up and former US Women's Open champion Allisen Corpuz.

The Dane rolls in her fifth birdie of the day to double her lead on the American - to the delight of a rather rowdy pocket of Danish fans following Madsen around today.

Esther Henseleit finds the fairway bunker on the 16th. The German is looking a tad shaky now and Alison Lee has all the momentum.

The American booms her second down to the right of the green and will have an eagle putt coming up from the fringe.

Charley Hull was three under today for 16 holes but again didn't really make a big putt of distance - but neither did Megan Khang who for her was a bit flat out there today.

She was previously unbeaten in four singles matches, winning three, and is the emotional leader of this USA team as a constant bundle of energy, but there was none of that out there today.

Instead, Hull kept her at arm's length with a professional job - a great performance under the circumstances as she'll have know all eyes were on her after her failed partnership with Lottie Woad.

Job done and Hull is all smiles after that.

Lottie Woad reaches the turn four up after rolling in from eight feet. The Englishwoman has looked extremely competent on the greens today and is in cruise control now.

How big could that moment be?

Esther Henseleit, who has lost the previous three holes, has a birdie putt to take the par-three 15th but slides her effort left. It misses the cup by no more than the half the width of a ball.

That could have been a huge nerve settler.

That's where Charley Hull thrives and she's done what she's needed to do to get that first point on the board.

Oh wow. That's ugly from Carlota Ciganda who pushes her tee shot so far right on the short sixth that you can't see the green as her ball plummets into the pond.

And that costs her the hole.

Jennifer Kupcho is on the board.

Charley Hull finally wins a point for Europe as she takes out Megan Khang 3&2.

Hull played nicely all day, getting ahead early on the first hole and then staying ahead all the way, adding a second hole on the 10th and then staying in front until the line.

And of course, more importantly for Europe that's the first point of the day and the team will take confidence from seeing Hull go out first and win her match.
