Gaurav Ghei zoomed up the leader-board to tied 29th after carding a three-under 69 as three Indians made the cut and four others fell by the wayside after the halfway stage of the US $2.2 million Volvo

China Open in Beijing on Friday.

Ghei, who was tied 98th overnight after turning in a horrendous opening round of 76, has a two-day total of one-over 145 after slotting five birdies against a couple of bogeys at the Beijing CBD International Golf Club.

Gaganjeet Bhullar, tied ninth overnight, was still the highest placed Indian at tied 23rd despite stuttering to a three-over 75 to total even-par 144.

The third Indian to make the cut was Indian Masters champion SSP Chowrasia, who was tied for the 50th spot after returning a one-over 73 in the second round to total three-over 147.

Four Indians missed the cut, including Shiv Kapur, who carded a second successive seven-over 79 to end up 14 over for two rounds.

The others who will miss the weekend action are Rahil Gangjee (73), Amandeep Johl (81) and Digvijay Singh (80).

At the top, Frenchman Michael Lorenzo-Vera maintained his one-stroke lead by carding a 69 that took his total to eight-under 136.

England's Richard Finch and Irishman Damien McGrane shared the second spot after returning identical three-under 69 in their second round.

Another Englishman Oliver Wilson turned in the day's best card of 66 to take the fourth spot with a total of six-under 138.
