Lane leads in New Delhi

Barry Lane was delighted to show he can still mix it with the young guns of the European Tour after the veteran Englishman took the clubhouse lead following a weather-shortened second day at the Avantha Masters in Delhi.

The 49-year-old carded a second consecutive 67 to move to 10 under par, level with compatriot John Parry and Taiwan’s Chan Yih-shin who both have one hole remaining in their second rounds after play was curtailed due to lightning.
