Play in the Maybank Malaysian Open will resume at 07.40hrs local time on Saturday following a 2hr 38min delay to the second round.

Lightning forced the players off at 15.37hrs on Friday, meaning none of the afternoon groups completed their second round.

They will do so on Saturday morning and the third round will then not commence before 11.00hrs following the cut. The third round will be a two-tee start, looped draw, with the leaders teeing off last from the first tee.

On the course, Italian teenager Matteo Manassero was level par for the day through 13 holes, keeping him at six under par, five shots adrift of leading duo Rory McIlory and Alexander Noren.
