Rahil Gangjee and Harmeet Kahlon, both looking to add to their solitary victory on the Asian Tour, carded one of their best rounds ever on the Tour to move into a tie for second at the midway stage of the King's Cup. Both were tied at six-under 136 and with them the six-man bunch included Anirban Lahiri (72).
The three Indians were one shot behind overnight leader Chan Yih-shin of Chinese Taipei, who kept his nose ahead despite a one-over 73.
