The second round of the DP World India Championship was suspended on Friday due to bad light in New Delhi. Play was halted just before 6pm local time, with several golfers still on the course.

Rory McIlroy, who is aiming for a record-equalling eighth Race to Dubai title, had completed four holes of his second round. He opened with an eagle on the first hole, placing him at four under for the tournament when play ceased.

Torrential rain on Thursday had already caused a five-hour delay to the opening round. The second round is scheduled to resume at 6.45am local time on Saturday.

Dutchman Joost Luiten, Angel Hidalgo, and Adrian Meronk were among those who had completed their second rounds, all sitting at eight under. England's Eddie Pepperell and Todd Clements were one shot back at seven under.
