Australia's David Gleeson, a two-time Asian Tour winner, eagled two holes in a second-round 66 to challenge for the lead at the Indian Golf Open.

Overnight leader Chiragh Kumar was three shots clear after a five-under-par 67 for a two-day total of 13 under at his home course, the Delhi Golf Club.

Gleeson was alone in second place while Chapchai Nirat of Thailand was a further two shots back at eight under after a blemish-free round of 67.

Scott Barr of Australia, Scotland's Ross Bain and Nam Young of Korea were tied in fourth place on seven-under 137 at the Asian Tour event.
