Great Britain's hopes of reaching the Billie Jean King Cup Finals rest on a decisive doubles match against the Netherlands after Katie Boulter was beaten in the singles.
Victory for British number one Boulter would have wrapped up the tie after Sonay Kartal's 6-4 4-6 6-1 win over Eva Vedder.
However, Boulter struggled for consistency in a 6-4 6-3 loss to Suzan Lamens on clay in The Hague.
Boulter will, however, team up with Jodie Burrage to take on Lamens and Demi Schuurs in an attempt to secure Britain's place in September's eight-team finals.
