ENGLAND HEAD FOR TITLE AS SCOTLAND
TAKE 2-1 FOURSOMES LEAD OVER WALES

England took another step nearer their third title in a row when the Women's Home Internationals entered their third and final day at Dunbar Golf Club.
Having beaten Wales and then Scotland, the English - without the services of Curtis Cup and Vagliano Trophy player Melissa Reid, who has a wrist injury - took a 2 1/2-1/2 lead over Ireland in the foursomes.
Meanwhile Scotland went 2-1 up on Wales despite Jenna Wilson and Michele Thomson losing a two-hole lead after nine holes to Stephanie Evans and Tara Davies who won by 2 and 1.
Laura Murray and Pamela Pretswell, a new foursomes pairing by skipper Jayne Smith, were five holes up after eight against Sahra Hassan and Rhian Wyn Thomas and went on to win 6 and 4.
Emily Ogilvy and Carly Booth produced two birdies just when they needed them - at the 13th and 16th - in beating Lydia Hall and Lucy Gould by 2 and 1.
