Here is everything you need to know from the second day at DLF Golf and Country Club.

Nakajima shares lead after fantastic front nine

Many players slipped backwards on Friday as the host course showed its teeth, but defending champion Keita Nakajima stormed up the leaderboard courtesy of a brilliant birdie blitz on the front nine. The Japanese star made seven birdies and no bogeys in his opening nine holes - including five in a row from the third - to turn in 29. That was a whopping 8.83 strokes better than the field at the time. He heads into the weekend tied alongside Eugenio Chacarra on four under par after signing for a second-round 66.

Amazing aces

We were treated to not one but two holes-in-one on day two as Joel Girrbach holed his tee-shot at the par-three 12th before Justin Harding got his ace at the fifth. Well done boys.

Chacarra's tasty chip

Chacarra closed his front nine in style at the 18th, stunning his difficult chip shot through the grass to set up a close-range birdie. Even his playing partners applauded.

Parry's perfect start

Englishman John Parry got off to the best possible start on day two as he holed his approach shot at the first hole for an excellent eagle. He used the slope on the green to ease the ball into the hole for a stunning two. Check this out...

Hidalgo's big finish

Angel Hidalgo needed a birdie at the last to make the cut and he only went and got it. Needless to say he was happy with his approach.
