HARROGATE'S John Parry is four shots off the lead at the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open as he plots an attack on the leaders this weekend.
Parry followed up an opening round 67 with a steady 70 to head in to round three on five-under as the only Englishman in a seven-strong group chasing the pack.
Danish Thorbjorn Olesen leads the way on nine-under, with Swede Pelle Edberg a shot further back. Sheffield's Matthew Fitzpatrick is one of three on seven-under.
Hexham's Chris Paisley has also made the cut. He is on one-under after shooting a second round 69.
