Rory McIlroy finds himself four shots off the clubhouse lead after just four holes into his second round at the DP World India Championship. The round faced interruptions due to bad light in New Delhi, following torrential rain that caused a five-hour delay on Thursday.

Play was halted early on Friday, just before 6 PM local time, and is set to resume at 6:45 AM on Saturday.

McIlroy, aiming for a record-equalling eighth Race to Dubai title, opened with a solid two-under 70 on Thursday. He began his second round with an eagle, bringing his score to four under before play was suspended.

Key leaderboard highlights include:

• Joost Luiten, Angel Hidalgo, and Adrian Meronk leading at eight under, having completed their rounds.
• Thomas Detry, also at eight under, is three under through six holes of his second round.
• Eddie Pepperell and Todd Clements are one shot back at seven under after completing their rounds.
• Eugenio Chacarra is at seven under, having played five holes.
• Robert MacIntyre and defending champion Tommy Fleetwood are both at four under overall.

Patrick Reed leads the tournament, finishing his second round at three under, recovering from a double-bogey at the fourth hole, and is currently level par overall.
