Jeev Milkha Singh carded an even par 72 for two-under 214 to be placed tied 30th before the third round of the Lyoness Open was suspended due to the threat of lightning.
Jeev, whose second round was spoilt by a triple bogey on second day, has been playing well barring those two lapses which have proved very costly.
Jeev opened with a string of six pars before crashing down with a double bogey on par-4 seventh hole, but birdies on 12th and 15th brought him back on even keel.

At the top, Gregory Bourdy's four-shot overnight lead was halved when the approaching storms suspended play. The Frenchman was two clear of Spaniard Rafa Cabrera-Bello, who reached the turn in 31, courtesy of three birdies and an eagle in his first seven holes, moving him to 12 under.
A bogey looked inevitable on the eighth when he found the rough and then caught the trees on the way out, but he somehow recovered to make par.
In-form Bourdy, whose last European Tour title arrived in Wales two years ago, did not do lot wrong as he picked up shots on the first and fifth, narrowly missing an eagle on the latter.
Chris Wood also started his third round emphatically with three birdies, the second of which he chipped in, but is likely to slip further off the lead after taking a penalty drop on the ninth, when he fired his tee shot right into the trees, just before leaving the course.
Spain's Carlos Pigem is one behind Englishman Wood on ten under, while Gary Stal is one of three players on nine under.
The Frenchman suffered consecutive bogies from the seventh to sit alongside young Englishman Matthew Fitzpatrick and Scott Jamieson, the Scot having completed a seven under par 65.
