Matteo Manassero has shot 65 for his second round at the Nordea Masters to open up a two-shot lead over Mikko Ilonen.
The 20-year-old Italian, who won last week's BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth, carded a 66 on his first round and will start his third round in Stockholm on 13-under-par.
Meanwhile, Ilonen (-11) shot a magnificent 63 - the joint-best round of the day along with Scotland's Peter Whiteford (-10), who is in third place. The scores equalled the course record at Bro Hof Slott.
Joost Luiten is four shots back on nine-under-par, while Jonas Blixt, Alexander Noren and Pablo Larrazabal are all on eight-under.
