Italy shows no sign of slowing down as the Open series reaches the halfway mark. They are now more than match clear of second placed Hungary, who have a handy lead over third placed Norway. Sweden, Ireland and the Netherlands complete the top six.

With three emphatic victories Germany has cruised to the top of the Women's table ahead of the Netherlands and England. Thursday's overnight leaders Denmark, the first of Germany's victims yesterday now share fourth place with Ireland. The biggest surprise so far has been the wretched form of Russia & Sweden.

In the Seniors you can cover the first three teams, Denmark, Turkey and Sweden with a postage stamp.
