Scotland set off like a sprint hurdler this morning, scoring 5 shots in the first 2 ends to lead Latvia, but stuttered over a few of the hurdles to be pegged back to 5-4 after 6 ends. They then finished with a burst of 4 shots in the 7th end to win "comfortably" by 9 shots to 5. But, as seems to be their usual style, they suffered in the next game against Italy, losing 4-7 despite being well in the game all the way.
England also started off well, beating Sweden 7-6, although they were 3-6 down with 2 ends to play. Like the Scots, they fell away badly in their second game, losing heavily by 2 shots to 10 against Slovakia.
In the grand scheme of things, Korea and China have already qualified with 7 wins out of 9 games. Scotland have 5 wins and England have 4 wins. There are 6 teams in total who will qualify, meaning 4 places are still available, with all 10 teams having a chance to be one of the four.
Scotland play Norway (on 5 wins) at 09.30 and Slovakia (on 3 wins) at 19.30 to complete their programme with England taking on Japan (on 3 wins) at 09.30 and finally Korea (on 7 wins) at 14.30.
