Birdie blitz propels Wall into joint lead

ENGLAND'S Anthony Wall fired a superb 62 to claim a share of the halfway lead with Jose Maria Olazabal as Pádraig Harrington missed the cut in the Linde German Masters in Cologne.

Wall carded 10 birdies in a flawless second round at Gut Larchenhof and even had a first ever sub-60 score on the European Tour in his sights after six birdies in his opening six holes.

Another birdie on the 17th - he started on the 10th - took him out in just 29 but the Londoner could only manage three more for an 11 under par total of 133.
