Script:

Line Vedel of Denmark and Finland's Jenni Kuosa shared the lead by a single shot after round two of the Slovak Open on Saturday.

Vedel carded four birdies and a single bogey in her round of 69, while Kuosa recorded the same score with five birdies and two dropped shots.

The 23-year-old Vedel revealed afterwards she had struggled with injury before the start of her round.

The pair lie four under for the tournament, one ahead of England's Trish Johnson, Australian Rachel Bailey and Jessica Yadloczky of the United States.

Johnson, a 21-time tournament champion, mixed six birdies with two bogeys in her round of 68.

Yadloczky had been six under through 14 holes of her second round, but dropped three shots in her last four holes to slip behind the leaders.

Four players are tied for sixth on two under, including Germany's Caroline Masson who shot a tournament-low round of 67.

Scotland's Carly Booth is also in the group after a round of 72, along with Italian Veronica Zorzi and overnight leader Lucie Andre of France
