Paul Casey surged into contention at the Australian Open as Matt Jones took a one-stroke lead at the halfway mark on Friday.

American Cameron Tringale, the world's top-ranked amateur Takumi Kanaya, Australian Shae Wools-Cobb and New Zealander Denzel Ieremia are also two shots behind the leader. However, 2009 champion Adam Scott missed the cut after failing to recover from his opening-round 75, shooting a 67 to finish even par and one stroke from making the weekend.
