England's Tommy Fleetwood is a shot off the lead at The Open Championship as Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy also surged into contention at the halfway stage at Carnoustie.

Fleetwood, 27, carded a six-under-par 65 to stand a shot behind USA's Zach Johnson and Kevin Kisner on five under.

McIlroy, bidding for his first major since 2014, is a shot back on four under after a second successive 69.

Defending champion Jordan Spieth carded a 67 to move three under.

Persistent rain hampered those teeing off their second round on Friday morning - including Fleetwood and McIlroy - with conditions improving for the later starters on the links on the east coast of Scotland.

However, few players in the afternoon groups managed to take full advantage.
