Day II report

Kapur's total stands at five-under 211, while Randhawa followed him a stroke adrift at four-under 212.

Kapur was off to a sensational start, gaining a stroke on the first hole before following it up with a hat-trick of birdies from the fourth to sixth holes. A bogey on the eight was the lone blot in his front nine as he made the turn three-under.

The backward journey turned out equally good as he picked up three birdies against one bogey for his best performance of the tournament so far.

Randhawa, meanwhile, also had a brilliant day as he sank in four birdies against a lone dropped shot in the back nine. 

Further down the leaderboard, Gaganjeet Bhullar too turned in a 69 to be tied for the 20th spot with a total of three-under 213.

Jeev Milkha Singh [Images] carded a second successive 70 -- studded with an eagle and three birdies against three bogeys -- to rise 16 notches to tied 20th with a total of even-par 216. The seasoned Indian shared the spot with among others compatriot SSP Chowrasia (72).

Veteran Gaurav Ghei returned a horrendous 77 to go one-over 217 and slip to the tied 27th spot, while Digvijay Singh turned in a horrible five-over 77 to take his tally to 225 at tied 63rd.
