Halsteads gonna Halstead

Getting wetter out there, Watson and Morgan are easily through.

Or not, conditions getting better

Pearson fastest by 6.4 seconds

Cammish is in trouble

Huff not being allowed to take part. Wasn't in the pits when all cars were supposed to, some strange mistakes being made.

Osbourne binned it hard

Ingram grabs pole
