GURNEE, Ill. -- After a rough first day of the UL International Crown, the United States never considered new pairings.Cristie Kerr & Co. knew it would work itself out.Kerr and Lexi Thompson helped the U.S. to three out of four points against Thailand on Friday, and Melissa Reid drew praise for a gutsy effort for England after her partner was sidelined by illness.Kerr and Thompson routed Thailands Ariya Jutanugarn and Porani Chutichai 4 and 3 for the Americans first two points after they were shut out in the first session of the LPGA Tour event. The U.S. almost got a sweep, but Gerina Piller and Stacy Lewis each missed a birdie putt on 18 and had to settle for a single point against Moriya Jutanugarn and Pornanong Phatlum.Each of the four players were on the United States winning team in the 2015 Solheim Cup, and the victory in Germany helped convince them to stay with the same lineup after the opening session at Merit Club about 40 miles northwest of Chicago.I mean, we had so much success at Solheim Cup, and I just think we played so much together that why switch it up? It was never discussed, Lewis said.Lewis putt on 18 skirted the edge of the cup.I think if it was just a touch slower, 6 inches slower, it probably goes in, she said. But I thought it was perfect.With Charley Hull sidelined by a fever and complications from asthma, Reid was all alone for her four-ball match against Japans Haru Nomara and Mika Miyazato. Reid took it all the way to 18, where Nomura made a matching birdie to close out a 1-up win.For me, its a huge positive, Reid said. To get anywhere near the 18th was going to be a huge achievement, and I am just really, really pleased I gave the team a huge chance of even a point.Holly Clyburn and Jodi Ewart Shadoff halved their match against Ai Suzuki and Ayaka Watanabe, helping seventh-seeded England to the Pool B lead. Thailand and Japan were one back with four points apiece, and the U.S. was last after it finished sixth in the inaugural event in 2014.Taiwan topped Pool A with six points after it split its two matches with top-seeded South Korea. Candie Kung and Ssu-Chia Cheng beat Amy Yang and In Gee Chun 2 and 1, but Yani Tseng and Teresa Lu trailed all day long in a 4-and-2 loss to Sei Young Kim and So Yeon Ryu.South Korea was second with four points, and Australia and China were tied for third with three apiece. Australia also was shut out in the first session, but Karrie Webb and Rebecca Artis teamed for a 2-and-1 win over Chinas Jing Yan and Simin Feng, and Minjee Lee and Su Oh halved their match with Xi Yu Lin and Shanshan Feng.Lins birdie on 14 gave China a 2-up lead, but Lee birdied 18 to secure the point for Australia. Lee played with Artis on Thursday, and Webb was with Oh.I think if a few things had gone our way yesterday, we could have gotten points on the board, but it just turned out that these two pairings worked, Webb said.There are eight more four-ball matches Saturday. The top two teams in each pool and the winner of a wild-card playoff between the third-place teams advance to Sundays singles matches, with each player from the winning country taking home $100,000 apiece.The 20-year-old Hull, who helped England to a sweep of the United States on Thursday, sought medical attention when she arrived at the course. She is hoping to play on Saturday.I really wanted to join my partner Mel at some point during the match, but at the advice of the medical team, the best thing to do was to rest and get healthy for my team for tomorrow, she said in a statement released by the LPGA Tour.Reid holed out with a wedge from 70 yards on the par-4 13th, squaring the match. But Nomura birdied the final three holes to help Japan to the win.They finished birdie-birdie-birdie. I finished birdie-par-birdie, Reid said. Theres nothing you can really do. If you lose to a birdie, its fine. Kyle Walker Jersey . The 26-year-old Ireland striker, who has four goals this season, has signed a three-and-a-half year contract with his new club.

India will play two T20I matches against West Indies in Florida later this month, BCCI president Anurag Thakur announced on Tuesday, after the boards working committee meeting in Mumbai. The matches will be played on August 27 and 28 at the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium in Lauderhill.Officials from both boards had meetings in Florida last week to discuss the staging of the matches at the conclusion of Indias ongoing four-Test series in the Caribbean. The ability to obtain US visas was the primary logistical hurdle before the boards but this was cleared after the BCCI submitted documents for its intended T20 squad to the US embassy in Jamaica, where the second Test is currently being played.In a press release issued by the board, Thakur stated that the series would be developed into an annual event in the USA.As part of our continuous efforts to reach out to new markets and audiences, I am very happy to announce that Team India will play two T20Is against the current world champions West Indies in the United States, Thakur said. This will be a great opportunity for the cricket fans in America to watch the two champion sides in action. This will be developed into an annnual cricketing event in the United States.ddddddddddddThe Central Broward Regional Park is the only ICC-certified ODI standard stadium facility in the USA and recently hosted six Caribbean Premier League matches between July 28 and 31. The ground has previously hosted four T20Is - in 2010, New Zealand played two matches against Sri Lanka, and returned in 2012 for two games against West Indies.WICB president Dave Cameron said the WICB would also be interested in playing T20s at the Florida venue every year, even if India were not available to do so, to help develop cricket in the Americas. We would like to make it an annual affair from the WICBs standpoint, he said. Is it going to be with India every year? Not necessarily. But from a strategic standpoint, we would like to be playing cricket in the USA on an annual basis.I think weve set that as part of our strategic goal in helping to develop the USA and the Americas. Our view is that proceeds from these games can go towards development of cricket in the USA and Canada and the Americas in general. ' ' '
