The Open 2022 live scoreboard with Rory McIlroy in contention at St Andrews

That’s it from us after a thrilling round two at The 150th Open Championship in St Andrews.

Cameron Smith produced fireworks to capture the lead at -13.

Rory McIlroy is right there though, -10, with more big names just a few behind the lead including Scottie Scheffler, Dustin Johnson and Viktor Hovland.

We’ll have third-round tee times for you shortly and be back again tomorrow for more coverage as we enter moving day, thanks for tuning in and good night.

Some good banter between Justin Thomas and Shane Lowry on 18.

JT’s drive provokes a comment: “Most improved!”

The American laughs and replies to Lowry: “Shut the f*** up”.

It’s only par on the last for McIlroy, he posts 68, a very solid second round to back up his first round of 66.

He trails Smith by three and Young by one.

Justin Thomas crushes his drive on 18, it’s 329 yards and 21 yards to the pin left. A chance to end on a high and move to -3 with a birdie.

Cameron Smith made plans to binge-watch Peaky Blinders late into the night after putting himself into a strong position to win the Open on Friday.

The Australian shot an eight-under-par second-round 64 at St Andrews to reach the halfway point of the final major of the year on 13 under.

His 36-hole aggregate of 131 was a new record for an Open at the Home of Golf.

Smith has relaxed away from the Old Course this week by watching episodes of the hit British gangster drama and, with a late start now guaranteed on Saturday, he sees no reason to change.

“I’m watching Peaky Blinders at the moment,” said the 28-year-old, whose round included six birdies and an eagle at the par-five 14th.

Just McIlroy (-10) and Hovland (-9) to consider in relation to the overall top of the leaderboard with both to complete 18.

The next closest to the lead and still out on the course is Schauffele, who makes birdie at the last to get to -5 and shoot 70.

Setbacks for both Will Zalatoris (-3) and Justin Thomas (-2) with bogeys at 14 and 15 respectively.

They’ve battled hard after tough starts on Thursday, but not only do they both make the weekend, but a big push tomorrow might catapult them into contention Sunday.

Sure, it’ll take two very low rounds, but they remain alive.

McIlroy’s drive down 17 hugs the left edge of the fairway, fading slightly into the rough. But the approach is beautiful.

It sets up birdie chance, downhill and from 20 feet.

AND IT’S IN! What a three for McIlroy! He’s back to -10!

McIlroy steadies with par at the 16th, leaving his putt short. Now onto the road hole and one final test… Hovland, meanwhile, is behind him and hunting down Cameron Smith’s lead.

Unreal! The Norwegian holes out from the fairway at the 15th! His approach hit the front of the green and skipped into the hole!

He jumps to -9! Straight into a tie for third.
